How About You?

PENNY:

When a girl meets boy,

life can be a joy,

but the note they end on

will depend on little pleasures they will share;

so let us compare.

I like New York in June,

how about you?

I like a Gershwin tune,

how about you?

I love a fireside

when a storm is due.

I like potato chips,

moonlight and motor trips,

how about you?

I'm mad about good books,

can't get my fill,

and Franklin Roos'velt's looks

give me a thrill.

Holding hands at the movie show,

when all the lights are low

may not be new,

but I like it,

how about you?

I like Jack Benny's jokes.

TOMMY: To a degree.

PENNY: I love the common folks.

TOMMY: that includes me

PENNY: I like to window shop on 5th Avenue.

TOMMY: I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz, how about you?

PENNY: I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine.

TOMMY: I'd love to see your name right beside mine.

PENNY: I can see we're in harmony

TOMMY: Looks like we both agree on what to do

BOTH: And I like it, how about you?

TOMMY:

I'm so delighted I've ignited the spark within you.

Let me continue to make it burn.

PENNY:

With you I will be like a Trilby,

so let's not dally.

Come on Svengali, I've lots to learn.

TOMMY: When you're arisin', start exercisin' daily.

PENNY: For example, just a sample?

TOMMY: Bend and touch the floor fifty times or more.

PENNY: Ha! A fine start to be a Bernhardt!

TOMMY:

A dictionary's necessary but not for talking,

it's used for walking the Ziegfeld way.

PENNY: Is this OK?

TOMMY: That's the trick, you're catching on quickly.

PENNY: Should I take a bow?

TOMMY: A-ho! Let me show you how!

PENNY: Just like partners on the stage.

TOMMY: If you can use a partner, I'm the right age.
