The
Man For Me
JEANETTE:
There is nothing doing at night!
That's silly! What can I write?
How I wish that you could be here!
That's stupid!
Can't think!
Oh, dear!
I wish someone could help me!
Writing always makes me nervous!
MAURICE: If
Mademoiselle forgives me-
I am at her service!
JEANETTE:
Oh!
MAURICE:
Oh-I'm sorry! Allow me!
JEANETTE:
It's such a stupid letter!
MAURICE:
I'll be indebted if you let me help you
JEANETTE:
Oh, no! I'd be the debtor!
What can I write?
It's so hard for me.
Night after night
Is dull as can be.
l'm writing to a girlfriend,
My little Marie!
MAURICE:
Let me see! Let me see!
Why don't you write this
As I dictate it.
I have met the one man, my dear!
JEANETTE:
Who is it?
MAURICE:
On a visit here!
I am so excited tonight!
JEANETTE:
Excited?
MAURICE:
And delighted! Dear!
He is so distinguished and sweet,
Very debonair yet discreet!
He's the light of fashion!
JEANETTE:
My passion's at fever heat!
MAURICE:
He's so modest all of the while,
JEANETTE:
Oh, very!
MAURICE:
With a merry smile.
He is made of iron. He's tall.
JEANETTE:
Gigantic!
MAURICE:
With romantic style!
He's a Julius Caesar in mind
With Apollo's beauty combined.
So, my little friend, you see
He's the very man for me!
JEANETTE:
I'ii sign my name!
MAURICE:
It' s easy to see
This little note
Is sweet as can be.
It's sure to please your
Girlfriend, your
Little Marie!
Now read it for me,
Read it for me!
JEANETTE:
I have met a foolish young man
MAURICE:
Who is it?
JEANETTE:
On a visit here!
I'll get rid of him if I can.
MAURICE:
I'm choking.
JEANETTE:
I'm not joking, dear.
He is undistinguished and plain!
Very unattractive yet vain!
And he needs a shaking!
MAURICE:
I'm taking
The first fast train!
JEANETTE:
All he does is grin like a mule!
MAURICE:
I'm frowning.
JEANETTE:
He's a clowning fool!
He couId never learn how to love!
MAURICE:
I'lI grow to-
JEANETTE:
He should go to schooI!
He's a simple Simon in mind.
To describe his looks is unkind.
So, my little friend, you see
He is not the man for me.
