Perfecly Marvelous

[SALLY(Spoken):] I think people are perfectly marvellous, I really do, Cliff Don't you? I don't think people should have to explain anything For example, if I should paint my fingernails green And it just so happens I do paint them green, well If anyone should ask me why, I say: " I think it's pretty!" ("I think It's pretty," I reply.) So, if anyone should ask about you And me, you have two alternatives: you can either say "Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or You can simple tell the truth, and say I met this perfectly marvellous girl In this perfectly wonderful place As I lifted a glass To the start of a marvellous year Before I knew she called on the phone Inviting Next moment I was no longer alone But sat reciting Some perfectly beautiful verse In my charming Amearican style How I dazzled her senses Was truly no less than a crime Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl In my perfectly beautiful room And we're living together And having a marvellous time [CLIFF (spoken):] Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out You're much too distracting [SALLY (spoken):] Distracting? No, inspiring! She tell me perfectly marvellous tales Of her thrillingly scandalous life Which I'll probably use As a chapter or two in my book And since my stay in Berlin was to force Creation What luck to fall on a fabulous source Of stimulation And perfectly marvellous, too Is her perfect agreement to be Just as still as a mouse When I'm giving my novel a whirl Yes, I've a highly agreeable life In my perfectly beautiful room With my nearly invisible Perfectly marvellous, girl [CLIFF (spoken):] Sally- I just can't afford... Do you have any money? [SALLY:] A few marks... Six! [CLIFF:] Oh, God! [SALLY:] Oh, please, Cliff- just for a day or two? Please! [CLIFF:] I... met... this Truly remarkable girl In this really incredible town And she skillfully managed To talk her way in to my room [SALLY:] Oh, Cliff! [CLIFF:] I have a terrible feeling I've said A dumb thing Beside, I've only got one narrow bed [SALLY:] We'll think of something
