Lyrics
Rosemary
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.
Finch: Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
Was the melody locked inside me
Till at last out it came?
Rosemary! Rosemary!
Just imagine if we kissed!
What a crescendo, not to be missed.
As for the rest of my lifetime program,
Give me more of the same:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
There is wonderful music in the very sound
Of your name!
Rosemary: Ponty, what are you talking about?
Finch: Rosemary, the most wonderful thing has happened. Oh, can't you hear it? Can't you hear it?
Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name
Rosemary: I don't hear a thing.
Finch: Rosemary! It's all around me; it's like a beautiful pink sky!
Rosemary: Now, look here, J. Pierrepont Finch . . .
Finch: Rosemary, darling, will you please marry J. Pierrepont Finch?
Rosemary: Now I hear it! I hear it! I hear it!
Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name.
J. Pierrepont!
Finch: Rosemary!
Just imagine if we kissed!
What a crescendo,
Both: Not to be missed.
Finch: As for the rest of my lifetime program,
Give me more of the same:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
Both: There is wonderful music in the very sound
Of your name!
Finch: Wait a minute, Rosemary. Hello, operator: give me the man who paints names on office doors. Hello, name painter? This is Mr. Finch. I want my name on my door in gold leaf. Yes, J. Pierrepont Finch. J. Pierrepont. No, no, all capitals. Block letters:
J. Pierrepont,
Vice President
In Charge of Advertising
F-I-N-C-H
The usual spelling.
J. Pierrepont
Boy, when you see it on your own door,
There is wonderful music
In the very sound
Of your name!
