YOU STARTED SOMETHING
Performed by Betty Grable, Bob Cummings and Don Ameche
BOB CUMMINGS:
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even try to
You smiled and my heart began to fly to the moon
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
And now I'm as wacky as a poet in June
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in Santy Claus
I believe that dreams come true
I do because
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't know what I knew
I knew right away that you were my new romance
BETTY GRABLE:
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even try to
You smiled and my heart began to fly to the moon
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
And now I'm as wacky as a poet in June
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that dreams come true
I do because
You started something
Yes you did
BOTH:
But you didn't know what I knew
I knew right away that you were my new romance
(Dance Routine / Dialogue)
DON AMECHE:
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even try to
You smiled and my heart began to fly to the moon
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
And now I'm as wacky as a poet in June
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that dreams come true
I do because
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't know what I knew
I knew right away that you were my new romance

I'VE GOT YOU ALL TO MYSELF
Performed by Don Ameche
I've got you all to myself
Here we are alone
And I can't think of a thing
Better than that
I've got you all to myself
Now we're on our own
It's all like pulling a dream
Out of a hat
My lucky day is here
No one else is near
And it seems that we're
Somewhere in the stratosphere
I've got you all to myself
And I mean all to myself
'Cause now at last
I've got you alone
(BOB CUMMINGS: Good evening friends!)

IS THAT GOOD?
Performed by Jack Haley and Charlotte Greenwood
JACK:
I don't know day from night
I don't know left from right
I got no appetite
Is that good? Huh?
I don't know my own house
I don't know moose from mouse
I don't know north from south
Is that good?
I'm goofy, punchy, so crazy for you
That I'd put salt in a chocolate malt
And mustard on a honeydew
I don't know gin from tea
I sat down on a bee
But that lift you give me
Is that good?
CHARLOTTE:
I can't sleep, not a wink
I can't think, not a think
I see stars in the sink
Is that good?
I don't know sweet from swing
I don't know Kate from Bing
But I hear bluebirds sing
Is that good?
JACK:
My cashier tells me I act like a dope
I get my pay, throw the cheque away
And try to cash the envelope
CHARLOTTE:
I don't know what I do
But I do dream of you
JACK:
And that dream, woo-woo-woo!
Is that good?
CHARLOTTE:
It ain't bad!
(Dance Routine)
JACK: Is that good?
CHARLOTTE: Wah-hoo!
CHARLOTTE: Is that good?
JACK:
I'm woosy, dizzy, I'm weak in the pins
But I know this, ev'ry time we kiss
I don't need any vitamins
CHARLOTTE: I go 'round in a trance
JACK: You got oomph in your glance
CHARLOTTE: We got ants in our pants
JACK: Is that good?
CHARLOTTE: Yes sirree
BOTH: If it's good for you. then it's good for me

LOVELINESS AND LOVE
Performed by Don Ameche and Betty Grable
DON:
Palm trees gently swaying, moonlight beaming
You and I together, drifting, dreaming
Loveliness and love, tonight we have found the tune
I'm in a paradise with you
Cooling tropic breezes, shadows, flowers
Tender sighs that promise happy hours
Loveliness and love, how lovely the world will be
Now that you're in love with me
BETTY:
Palm trees gently swaying, moonlight beaming
You and I together, drifting, dreaming
DON:
Loveliness and love, tonight we have found the tune
BETTY:
I'm in a paradise with you
DON:
Cooling tropic breezes, shadows
BETTY:
Flowers
Tender sighs that promise happy hours
DON:
Loveliness and love, how lovely the world will be
Now that you're in love with me
