Medley (from Color me Barbra)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Animal crackers in my soup, monkeys and rabbits, loop de loop

Gosh oh Gee, but I have fun swallowing animals one by one

In every bowl of soup I see lions and tigers watching me

I'll make 'em jump right through a hoop

'Cause animal crackers in my soup

When I get hold of the big bad wolf

I just push him under to drown

Then I bite him in a million bits and I gabble him right down

I love your funny face, your sunny funny face

Though you're no handsome Harry

Four words I'd not replace, your sunny funny face

That face, that wonderful face

It shines, it glows all over the place

And how I love to watch it change expressions

Each look becomes the prize of my possessions

I love your eyes, your cheeks, your hair

They're in a class beyond compare

It's the loveliest face that one could see

Were thine that special face

Were thine the forms so live, so slender

Were thine the arms so warm, so tender

Were thine the kiss divine

I was so really independent and content before we met

Surely I can always be that way again and yet

I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air

Accustomed to that wonderful fabulous marvelous glorious

Let's face the music and dance

You made the coat and vest fit the best

You made the linen nice and strong

But Sam, you made the pants too long

You made the pick lapel look so swell

So who am I to say you're wrong?

But Sam, you made the pants too long!

They got the belt and they got suspenders

So what can they lose?

But what good are belts and what good suspenders

When the pants are hanging over the shoes?

You feel the winter breeze up and down the knees

The belt is where the tie belongs

'Cause Sam, Sam, Sam, you made the pants too long!

Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do

You and your pussycat

We have so much in common

It's a phenomenon

We could pull our resources by joining forces

From now on

It's spring again

And birds on the wing again

Start to sing again that old melody

I wanted the music to play on forever

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I wanted the clown to be constantly clever

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I brought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair

But I couldn't find anybody to care

The merry-go-round is beginning to slow now

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

There is nothing to win

And there's no one to want me (Sadie!)

Look at that face, just look at it

Look at that fabulous face of yours

I knew first look I took at it

This was the face that the world adores

Look at those eyes as wise and as deep as the sea

Look at that nose, it shows what a nose should be

As for your smile, it's lyrical

Friendly and warm as a summer's day

Your face is just a miracle

Where could I ever find words to say

The way that it makes me happy

Whatever the time or place

I will find in no book

What I'll find when I look at that face!
