IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING MARGIE The things I used to like I don't like anymore I want a lot of other things I've never had before It's just like mother said -- I sit around and mope Pretending I am wonderful And know I'm a dope I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string I'd say that I have Spring fever But I know it isn't Spring I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented Like a nightingale without a song to sing. Oh why should I have Spring fever When it isn't even Spring? I keep wishing I were somewhere else Walking down a strange, new street Hearing words that I have never heard From a man I've yet to meet. I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud Or a robin on a wing But I feel so gay in a melancholy way That it might as well be Spring It might as well be Spring. IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING (REPRISE) MARGIE I keep wishing I were somewhere else Walking down a strange, new street Hearing words that I have never heard From a man I've yet to meet. He would be a kind of handsome combination Ronald Goldman, Charles Boyet and Bing... DREAM MAN (spoken) Margie, my dear Margie I'd make the world a ruby for your little finger And say, "I love you, I love you, I love you." Ah, Margie, you are beautiful. You are so very beautiful. (sung) And we feel so gay, in a melancholy way That it might as well be Spring (whistles) THAT'S FOR ME EVELYN EDWARDS Right between the eyes Why the belt the blow I felt this morning Fate gave me no warning Great (??) was my surprise I saw you standing in the sun And you were something to see I know what I like and I like what I saw And I said to myself, "That's for me." A lovely morning I remarked And you were quick to agree You wanted to walk and I nodded my head As I breathlessly said, "That's for me." I left you standing under stars The day's adventures are through There's nothing for me but the dream in my heart And the dream in my heart -- that's for you! Oh, my darling -- that's for you. I left you standing under stars The day's adventures are through There's nothing for me but the dream in my heart And the dream in my heart -- that's for you! Oh, my darling -- that's for you. IT'S A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING MARTY It's a grand night for singing The moon is flying high And somewhere a bird Who is bound he'll be heard Is throwing his heart at the sky It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is a-glow And to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love. CHORUS It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is a-glow And to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love. WAYNE Maybe it's more than the moon Maybe it's more than the birds Maybe it's more than sight of the night In the light too lovely for words Maybe it's more than the earth Shiny and silvery blue Maybe the reason I'm feeling this way Has something to do with you. CHORUS It's a grand night for singing The moon is flying high And somewhere a bird Who is bound he'll be heard Is throwing his heart at the sky It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is a-glow And to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love. MARGIE AND PAT It's a grand night for singing The moon is flying high And somewhere a bird Who is bound he'll be heard Is throwing his heart at the sky WAYNE It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is a-glow And to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love.

ALL (BUT WAYNE) It's a grand night for singing The stars are bright above The earth is a-glow And to add to the show I think I am falling in love Falling, falling in love. La la la la la la. ISN'T IT KIND OF FUN? WAYNE Maybe, you'll never be the love of my life Maybe I'm not the boy of your dreams But isn't it kind of fun To look in each other's eyes Swapping romantic gleams? Maybe you're not a girl to have and to hold Maybe I'm not a boy who'll stay But isn't it kind of fun Carousing around the town Dancing the night away? Isn't it kind of fun holding hands According to the sweet and cordy custom? Isn't it kind of fun making vows Admitting that we both indend to bust 'em? Maybe we're all for laughs -- a girl and a boy Kidding across the table for two But haven't you got a hunch That this is the Real McCoy And all the things we tell each other Are true? EVELYN I'm not a girl for sentimental tripe I never go for the Romeo-type. WAYNE Over a dewey-eyed Juliet Nobody has seen me deruliet (??) EVELYN I don't say our hearts is tied by love's eternal tether. WAYNE But using worlds less disgnified Isn't it kind of fun to be togeter EVELYN Maybe, I'll never be the love of my life Maybe I'm not the girl of your dreams WAYNE But isn't it kind of fun To look in each other's eyes Swapping romantic gleams? EVELYN Maybe I'm not a girl to have and to hold WAYNE Maybe I'm not a boy who'll stay EVELYN But isn't it kind of fun Carousing around the town Dancing the night away?
