Jule Styne — Dainty June and Her Farmboys
[FARMBOYS]
Extra! Extra!
Hey, look at the headline!
Historical news is being made
Extra! Extra!
They're drawing a red line
Around the biggest scoop of the decade
A barrel of charm
A fabulous thrill
The biggest little headline in vaudeville!
(spoken)
Presenting
In person
That 5' 2" bundle of dynamite
Dainty... June!
[JUNE, spoken]
Hello, everybody! My name is June! What's yours?
(sung)
I have a moo cow
A new cow
A true cow
Named Caroline
[LOUISE, mooed]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
She's an extra-special friend of mine
[LOUISE]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
I like everything about her fine!
[LOUISE]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
She likes to 'moooooo' in the moonlight
When the mooooody mooooon appears
And when she 'mooooos' in the moonlight
Gosh, it's moooo-sic to my ears
She's so mooooo-sical!
She loves a man cow
A tan cow who can cow her
With a glance
[LOUISE]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
When he winks at her, she starts to dance
[LOUISE]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
It's what grown-ups call a real romance
[LOUISE]
Moo, moo, moo, moo!
[JUNE]
But if we mooo-ved to the city
Or we settled by the shore
She'd make the mooooo-ve
'Cause she loves me more!
[Music ends.]
[MISS CRATCHITT, spoken]
Thank you very much
That's all
[ROSE, spoken]
But we have a great finish!
[MISS CRATCHITT, spoken]
I'm sure. But Mr. Grantziger--
[ROSE, spoken]
Ah...hit it!
[Music resumes.]
[FARMBOYS]
Broadway!
Broadway!
We've missed it so
We're leaving soon and taking June
To star her in a show!
Bright lights, white lights
Rhythm and romance
The train is late, so while we wait
We're gonna do a little dance!
[JUNE]
Broadway!
Broadway!
How great you are!
I'll leave the farm, with all its charm
To be a Broadway star!
Bright lights, white lights
Where the neons glow
My bag is packed
I've got my act
So all aboard
C'mon, let's go!
[FARMBOYS, spoken]
Let's go!
[JUNE, spoken]
Wait!
Stop the train
Stop the music
Stop everything!
I can't go to Broadway with you
[TULSA, spoken]
Why not, Dainty June?
[JUNE]
Because...
Everything in life that really matters is right here
What care I for tinsel, or glamour
When I have friendship and true love
I'm staying here... with Caroline!
[ALL]
HOORAY!
