New York New York Musical Album Lyrics

If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me

And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to dream my whole life through
'Cause you brought a new love to me

I know that I'm Queen, you're the King
Still you can understand
That underneath it all
I'm a girl and you-you're only a man

I would work and slave my whole life through
If I could hurry home to you
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me

I would work and slave my whole life through
If I could hurry home to you
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me

Oh-oh-oh, you brought a new kind of love to me.
New love.

Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer you heart.
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two
Drifted apart.
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again.
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once, uh, in a while.

You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes at me
They where gleaming
Beaming
I was starstruck

You're all my lucky charm
I'm lucky in your arms

You've opened Heaven's portal
Here on earth for this poor mortal
You are my lucky, lucky star...

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream;
And of course Prince Charming is the theme:
The he
For me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
To me it's clear
That he'll appear.

Some day he'll come along,
The man I love;
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay.

He'll look at me and smile--
I'll understand;
And in a little while
He'll take my hand;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word.

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday -- maybe not;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day--
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day.

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two;
From which I'll never roam--
Who would? Would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for
The man I love!

Just you, just me.
Let's find a cozy spot to cuddle and coo.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ah-
Just us, just we.
I've missed an awful lot.
Ooh, my trouble is you.

Gee, what are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination.

Just you, just me.
I'll tie a lover's knot
'Round wonderful you.

Oh gee, what are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination.

Just you, just me.
I'll tie a lover's knot
I'll tie a big, fat knot
'Round wonderful you.
UH!

There Goes The Ball Game
It's all over now
There Goes The Ball Game
I lost and how
It came too fast at the beginning
Thinking that bunting was running

Now I'm at my final ending score
A big fat nothing
Some other player stands number one
I made the error, she made the run
Well, what's the good crying for hours?
Guess I should head for the showers
Poor little slugger,
She missed the ball,
Oh well you can't win them all
Win them all
Win them all

HE:
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

SHE:
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And then I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

SHE:
Happy endings all around me
Happy endings all I see are
Happy endings on a silver screen
That's Hollywood!
Lovely lady
Gallant fellow
Meet one evening hear that cello
Troubles come between
But in that final scene
Count on a happy ending by a river
Happy ending on a mountain
Happy ending in a Broadway show
But oh-
The life I lead is less dramatic
Not remotely cinematic
Happy endings far as I can see
Are only for the stars
Not in the stars for me

HE:
Pst! Pst!
Pardon me, miss,
I've a problem
Then I wonder could you help me
Lost my glove and I could use your light

SHE:
Right!

HE:
I was leaving,
It's so silly,
But I think I must have dropped it
All at once it seemed to disappear--

SHE:
Here!

HE:
Gee, I'm grateful
And I'd like to show you my appreciation
Maybe take you out to dinner--

SOMEBODY:
SSSH!

HE:
When do you get off?
I can wait.

SHE:
Oh no, I coundn't possibly--

HE:
I can wait.

SHE:
Oh well I, I don't do thats.

HE:
I can wait

SOMEBODY:
SSSH!

SHE:
No, I-I--

HE:
I can wait

SHE:
EIGHT!

CHORUS:
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?

HE:
You sing here?

PEGGY:
Sometimes, after work
Relieves the stress

HE:
But you've got stress?

PEGGY:
Yes, I guess!

CHORUS:
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight!

PEGGY:
When Mister Right comes along
Ev'ry melody that sound is so wrong
We'll be blended in a beautiful song
When Mister Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght--

ALL:
Ma, she's wonderful!

PEGGY:
Comes along!

HE:
You're terrific, just amazing
What a talent, it's astounding,
You should be star in a Broadway show--

SHE:
Yes, I know,
But got tired, tired of waiting
Tired of hacking those auditions
It's started starving
So I think it what's the use--
By the way what do you do?

HE:
You won't believe it.

SHE:
Try me!

HE:
I produce.

[TINKLE]

PEGGY:
I am feeling aces high
And it's because of you that
I am feeling aces high

CHORUS:
Aces high

PEGGY:
We're a King and a Queen in the heavens
No longer at sixes and sevens
But eights!

CHORUS:
Now that she's found out
She's finally his

PEGGY:
Say!

CHORUS:
She is the happiest, happiest lady there is.

PEGGY:
ACES HI-I-I-I-I-I-GH

CHORUS:
OH OH OH OH
Aces High!

HE:
Now it's happened,
Now you've made it,
By tomorrow you'll be famous--

PEGGY:
Famous...

HE:
You'll discover all New York is at your feet--

PEGGY:
My feet!

HE:
You'll have a brilliant career
Think champagne instead of pretzels and beer--

PEGGY:
And you'll be with me ev'rywhere I appear--

HE:
NO!

PEGGY:
No?

HE:
No, I've done ev'rything for you I could possibly do.
You don't need me anymore. And if I stayed, why I'd
Be Mister Peggy Smith? I fear, I couldn't bear that--

PEGGY:
But--

HE:
Goodbye, my dear...

PEGGY:
Donald!
Donald!
Donald!

M.C.:
Our Guest of Honor is Broadway's dearest and most
Luminous light, in her own time a legend, a myth,
Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Peggy Smith.

PEGGY:
What a night I won't forget. I'm just a theater usherette
And who'd have dreamed that someday this would all come
True? Would you? But there's a man, one certain man, who
Helped me when it all began, and he's the one who really own
This honor tonight...but he is not here...

HE:
Peggy!

PEGGY:
I wish he were here!

HE:
Peggy!

Peggy!
I can't believe it!

HE:
Peggy!
Peggy!
PEGGY!

PEGGY:
Now my life is like a beautiful song,
My Mister Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i--
Are only for the stars hmm-hmm-hmm
Not in the stars for me.

DONALD:
Pst! Pst!
Pardon me, miss,
I've a problem,
And I wonder
Could you help me
Lost my glove and
I could use your light?

PEGGY:
Right!
Uh, yeah!
Well, I guess you're a big Broadway producer, uh!

DONALD:
As a matter of fact I am, how did you know that?

PEGGY:
Oooh!
Girls! Girls!
GIRLS!

GIRLS:
Happy endings

PEGGY:
All around me

GIRLS:
Happy endings

PEGGY:
All I see are

GIRLS:
Happy endings on a silver screen
Lovely lady

PEGGY:
Gallant fellow

GIRLS:
Meet one evening

PEGGY:
Hear that cello

GIRLS:
Troubles come between

PEGGY:
But in that final scene
Count on a--

GIRLS:
Happy ending by a river
Happy ending on a mountain
Happy ending--

PEGGY:
In a Broadway show!

ALL:
Aah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

PEGGY:
Happy endings far as I can see

ALL:
Ah-ah-oh-oh-oh!

PEGGY:
Are not reserved for the stars--

ALL:
No, no, no, no, no--

PEGGY:
They're in the stars for ME!

Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad
But the world goes 'round
Sometimes you lose every nickel you had
But the world goes 'round

Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't alter a thing
Take it from me, there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring

And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes 'round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound

Somebody loses and somebody wins
And one day it's kicks, then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes 'round-
But the world goes 'round
But the world goes 'round

Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it from me, there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring and a fall

And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes 'round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound

Somebody loses and somebody wins
Then one day it's kicks, then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
The world goes 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round!

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When you're passin' by,
Flowers droop and sigh
I know the reason why
You're much sweeter
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Start spreading the news,
I'm leaving today.
I want to be a part of it -
New York, New York.

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York.

I want to wake up in a city,
That doesn't sleep,
To find I'm king of the hill- ah-
Top of the heap.

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New York, New York.

New York, New York!

I want to wake up in a city,
That doesn't sleep,
To find I'm king of the hill,
Head of the list,
Cream of the crop
At top of the heap.

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York.
If I can make it there,
I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through,
New York, New York.
