The Boy Next Door
Esther:
The Moment I Saw Him Smile
I Knew He Was Just My Style
My Only Regret Is We've Never Met
Though I Dream Of Him All The While
But He Doesn't Know I Exist
No Matter How I May Persist
So It's Clear To See
There's No Hope For Me
Though I Live At 5135 Kensington Avenue
And He Lives At 5133

How Can I Ignore
The Boy Next Door?
I Love Him More Than I Can Say
Doesn't Try To Please Me
Doesn't Even Tease Me
And He Never Sees Me
Glance His Way
And Though I'm Heartsore
The Boy Next Door
Affection For Me Won't Display
I Just Adore Him
So I Can't Ignore Him
The Boy Next Door
I Just Adore Him
So I Can't Ignore Him
The Boy Next Door

Under The Bamboo Tree

Ester:
Now.
Down In The Jungles Lived A Maid
Of Royal Blood Though Dusky Shade
Tootie:
A Marked Impression Once She Made
Upon A Zulu

Ester:
From Matabooloo

Tootie:
And Every Morning, He Would Be
Down Underneath A Bamboo Tree

Ester:
Awaitin' There His Love To See

Tootie:
And Then To Her He'd Sing

Both:
To Her He'd Sing

Ester:
Vamp.

Both:
If You Like-a Me
Like I Like-a You
And We Like-a Both The Same
I Like-a Say This Very Day
I Like-a Change Your Name
'cause I Love-a You
And Love-a You True
And If You-a Love-a Me
One Live As Two
Two Live As One
Under The Bamboo Tree

Over The Banister
John:
[spoken]
Over The Banister Leans A Face.
Tenderly...sweet...

Ester:
[sung]
And...and....beguiling
While Below Her With Tender Grace
He Watches The Picture Smiling
A Light Burns Dim In The Hall Below
Nobody Sees Them Standing
Saying Good Night Again,
Soft And Low
Halfway Up To The Landing
Nobody, Only Those Eyes Of Brown
Tender And Full Of Meaning
Gaze On The...
Loveliest Face In Town
Over The Banister Leaning

The Trolley Song

[ding Ding Ding]
[ding Ding Ding]

[ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding]

All:
Clang, Clang, Clang
Went The Trolley
Ding, Ding, Ding
Went The Bell
Zing, Zing, Zing
Went My Heartstrings
As We Started
For Huntington Dell

Chug, Chug, Chug
Went The Motor
Bump, Bump, Bump
Went The Brake
Thump, Thump, Thump
Went My Heartstrings
As We Glided
For Huntington Lake

The Day Was Bright,
The Air Was Sweet
The Smell Of Honeysuckle
Charmed Me Off My Feet
I Tried To Sing
But Couldn't Squeak
In Fact, I Felt So Good
I Couldn't Even Speak

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
Went The Buzzer
Time To All Disembark
Time To Fall
Went My Heartstrings

As We Got Off
At Huntington Park
As We Got Off
At Huntington Park

Some Guy Shouts:
Hey! Look Who's Coming!

Ester:
With My High-starched Collar
And My High-topped Shoes
And My Hair Piled High Upon My Head
I Went To Lose A Jolly
Hour On The Trolley
And Lost My Heart Instead

With His Light Brown Derby
And His Bright Green Tie
He Was Quite The Handsomest Of Men

I Started To Yen
So I Counted To 10
Then I Counted To 10 Again

Clang, Clang, Clang
Went The Trolley
Ding, Ding, Ding
Went The Bell
Zing, Zing, Zing
Went My Heartstrings
From The Moment
I Saw Him, I Fell

Chug, Chug, Chug
Went The Motor
Bump, Bump, Bump
Went The Brake
Thump, Thump, Thump
Went My Heartstrings
When He Smiled,
I Could Feel The Car Shake

All:
Clang, Clang,clang

Ester:
He Tipped His Hat
And Took A Seat
He Said He Hoped He Hadn't
Stepped Upon My Feet
He Asked My Name
I Held My Breath
I Couldn't Speak Because
He Scared Me Half To Death

Guy:
Hiya, Johnny!

Ester:
Chug, Chug, Chug
Went The Motor
Plop, Plop, Plop
Went The Wheels
Stop, Stop, Stop
Went My Heartstrings
As He Started To Go
Then I Started To Know
How It Feels
When The Universe Reels

All [except Ester]:
The Day Was Bright
The Air Was Sweet
The Smell Of Honeysuckle
Charmed You Off Your Feet
You Tried To Sing
But Couldn't Squeak
In Fact, You Loved Him So
You Couldn't Even Speak
Ooohhh

Ester
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
Went The Buzzer
Plop, Plop, Plop
Went The Wheels
Stop, Stop, Stop
Went My Heartstrings

As He Started To Leave
I Took Hold Of His Sleeve
With My Hand
And As If It Were Planned
He Stayed On With Me
And It Was Grand
Just To Stand
With His Hand Holding Mine
To The End Of The Line!

All:
Zing, Zing, Zing
Went My Heart
Heart!

Boys And Girls Like You And Me (outtake)
Music And Lyrics By Hugh Martin And Ralph Blane

We Walk On Every City Street
We Walk In Lanes Where Branches Meet
And Stars Send Down Their Blessings From The Blue.
We Go Through Storms Of Doubt And Fear
And So We Walk From Year To Year Believing In Each Other As We Do.

Bravely Marching Forward Two By Two...
Boys And Girls Like You And Me Walk Beneath The Skies.
They Love Just As We Love With The Same Dream In Their Eyes.
Songs And Kings And Many Things Have Their Day And Are Gone
But Boys And Girls Like You And Me We Go On And On.
Songs And Kings And Many Things Have Their Day And Are Gone
But Boys And Girls Like You And Me We Go On And On.

You And I
Alonzo(sr.):
You And I, Together Forever,
You And I.
Through The Years
Of Dark And Fair Weather,
You And I.

From My Heart A Song Of Love Beseeching.
Just For You My Longing Arms Are Reaching.

Time Goes By
But We'll Be
Together,
You And I.

Anna And Alonzo:
From My Heart A Song Of Love Beseeching.
Just For You My Longing Arms Are Reaching.

Time Goes By,
But We'll Be
Together,
You And I.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Esther:
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.
Let Your Heart Be Light.
Next Year All Our Troubles Will Be Out Of Sight.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Chrismtas.
Make The Yule-tide Gay.
Next Year All Our Troubles Will Be Miles Away.

Once Again As In Olden Days,
Happy Golden Days Of Yore.
Faithful Friends
Who Were Dear To Us,
Will Be Near To Us Once More.

Some Day Soon We All Will Be Together,
If The Fates Allow.
Until Then We'll Have To Muddle Through Somehow.
So, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Now.
