YOU'RE
THE TOP
BILLY: You're the top!
You're the Coliseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louvre
Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony
by Strauss
You're a Bendel
bonnet,
A Shakespeare
sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile,
You're the Tower
of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona
Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top
RENO: You're the top,
You're a silver dollar,
You're the top,
You're an Arrow
collar,
You're the nimble tread on the feet of Fred
Astaire.
You're an O'Neill
drama
You're Whistler's
mama,
You're camembert.
You're the pearl,
That the divers fetch up,
Milton Berle
and tomato ketchup.
I'm a toy balloon, that's fated soon to pop.
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
FRIENDSHIP
RENO: If you're ever in a jam, here I am.
MOON: If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
BILLY:If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your
bail.
ALL: It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship,
RENO: When other friendships have been forgot
ALL: Ours will still be hot!
RENO: Lahdle-ahdle-ahdle-jig-jig-jig.
BILLY:If you're every up a tree, phone to me.
RENO: If you're ever down a well, ring my bell.
MOON: If you ever lose your teeth when you're out to
dine, borrow mine.
ALL: It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship,
BILLY: If other friendships go up in smoke
ALL: Ours will still be oke!
BILLY: Lahdle-ahdle-ahdle-dig-dig-dig.
I
GET A KICK OUT OF YOU
RENO: I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
I get a kick ev'rytime
I see
You standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to me
You obviously don't adore me.
I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.

ANYTHING
GOES
RENO: In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
And Heaven knows,
Anything Goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose,
Anything Goes.
The world has gone
mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
And most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
BLOW
GABRIEL BLOW
RENO:
Why, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'!
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"
Oh, blow, Gabriel,
blow,
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow!
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp,
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
Oh, I was low, Gabriel,
low,
Mighty low, Gabriel, low.
But now since I have seen the light,
I'm good by day and I'm good by night,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
Once I was headed for
hell,
Once I was headed for hell;
But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more,
So I said, "Satan, farewell!"
And now I'm all ready to fly,
Yes, to fly higher and higher!
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And I've been through the fire,
And I purged my soul
And my heart too,
So climb up the mountain top
And start to blow, Gabriel, blow
ALL: Come on
and blow, Gabriel, blow!
RENO: I want
to join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land.
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
Come on you scamps, get up you sinners!
You're all too full of expensive dinners.
Stand up on your lazy feet and sing!
ALL: Blow, Gabriel,
blow, (Blow, Gabriel!)
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow. (Blow, Gabriel!)
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp,
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
