HAROLD HILL -
YA' GOT TROUBLE
Well, ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say, trouble right here
in River City.
Why sure I'm a billiard player, certainly mighty proud, I say I'm always mighty proud to say
it.
I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden.
Help you cultivate horse sense and a cool
head and a keen eye.
Now friends, lem-me tell you what I mean.
Ya got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets
in a table.
Pockets that mark the diff'rence between a gentlemen and a bum,
With a capital "B,"
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool!
Now, I know all you folks are the right kinda parents.
I'm gonna be perfectly frank.
Would ya like to know what kinda conversation goes on while they're loafin'
around that Hall?
They'll be tryin' out Bevo, tryin' out cubebs, tryin' out Tailor Mades like Cigarette
Fiends!
And braggin' all about how they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen.
One fine night,
they leave the pool hall, headin' for the dance at the Arm'ry!
Libertine men and Scarlet women! And Rag-time,
shameless music
That'll grab your son and your daughter with the arms of a jungle animal instinct!
Mass-steria!
Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground!
Trouble - oh we got trouble
Right here in River
City! - right here in River City
With a capital "T"
That rhymes with "P"
And that stands for Pool, - that stands for pool.
We've surely got trouble! - we've surely got
trouble!
Right here in River City - right here!
Gotta figure out a way to keep the young ones moral
after school!

HAROLD HILL - 76 TROMBONES
Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were
followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos,
the cream of ev'ry famous band.
Seventy-six trombones caught
the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like
weeds
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.
There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons
Thundering,
thundering all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,
Each bassoon having it's big, fat say!
There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery
Thundering, thundering louder than before
Clarinets of ev'ry
size and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score!

(and Amaryllis) - GOODNIGHT MY SOMEONE
Goodnight, my someone,
Goodnight, my love,
Sleep tight, my someone, Sleep tight, my love,
Our star is shining its brightest light
For
goodnight, my love, for goodnight.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close
to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might.
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
Goodnight, Goodnight.

MRS. PAROO & MARIAN PAROO - IF YOU DON'T MIND
Mrs. Paroo:
But, darlin'--when a woman has a husband
And you've
got none,
Why should she take advice from you?
Even if you can quote Balzac and Shakespeare
And all them other
highfalutin' Greeks.
Marian:
Momma, if you don't mind my sayin' so,
You have a bad
habit of changin' ev'ry subject--
Mrs. Paroo:
Now, I haven't changed the subject!
I
was talking about that stranger--
Marian:
What stranger?
Mrs. Paroo:
With the
suitcase who may be your very last chance.
Marian:
Mama! Do you think that I'd allow a common masher--
Now, really Mama! I have my standards where men are concerned,
And I have no intention--
Mrs. Paroo:
I know all about your standards
And if you don't mind my sayin' so
There's not a man alive who
could hope to measure up to that blend'a
Paul Bunyan, Saint Pat and Noah Webster
You've got concocted for
yourself outta your Irish imagination,
Your Iowa stubbornness, and your liberry fulla' books!

ALMA, EULALIE, MAUD & ETHEL - PICK-A-LITTLE,
TALK-A-LITTLE
That woman made brazen overtures
With a gilt-edged guarantee
She
had a golden glint in her eye
And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring
Just melt her down and you'll reveal
A lump of lead as cold as steel
Here, where a woman's heart should be!
He left River City the Library
building
But he left all the books to her!
Chaucer…Rabelais…Bal-zac!
Pick a little, talk
a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk
a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk
a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk a
little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep

Marcellus - Shipoopi Now a woman who'll kiss on the very first date is usually a hussy.
And
a woman who'll kiss on the second time out is anything but fussy.
But a woman who waits 'til the third time around,
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground!
She's the girl he's glad he's found--she's his Shipoopi!
Shipoopi! Shipoopi! Shipoopi!
The girl who's hard to get!
Shipoopi! Shipoopi! Shipoopi!
But you
can win her yet.

Winthrop, Marian &
Mrs. Paroo - Gary, Indiana
sing the entire song as a solo
(Winthrop sings with a lisp – lisp pronunciations in parenthesis) Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once (wunth)
again.
Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana,
That's (thath) the town that knew me when.
If you'd like to have a logical explanation (ekth-plana-thyun)
How I happened on this elegant syncopation
(think-o-pathyun)
I will say without a moment of hesitation (heth-i-ta-thyun)
There is just one
place (plathe)
That can light my face (faith)
Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana,
Not Louisiana
(Loo-ee-thee-ana) , Paris (Parith), France (Franth), New York, or Rome, but--Gary, Indiana...Gary,
Indiana…Gary, Indiana,
My home sweet (thweet) home.
