On the Twentieth Century: Sextet
Hey Lily, hey Lily
You're home again at last
Hi Lily, Hi Lily
Boys, not too fast!
This is Mrs Letitia Primrose
Letitia Restoria Primrose
Mrs Primrose, meet Lily Garland
How do you do?
You're the famous motion picture actress
Mister Jaffee said I'd meet today
I believe in Oscar Jaffee!
My purse strings are open
I'll sponsor him all the way
Sign, Lily, sign, Lily
Sign on the dotted line
Sign, Lily. Come back to us, Lily, Sign
It's not a contract
It's more like a Valentine
Sign it, Lily, sign, Lily, sign!
What a beautiful moment
What a mystical moment
This is more than a contract
It's more like taking the vows
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell's going on?
I go out for a shave
I am reading
A lousy little shave!
She's reading!
What's that thing?
It's a contract
It's a contract?
It's a contract
Listen, Lily, who remembers who directed Bernhardt, Lily?
Who remembers who directed Duse, Lily?
No one will remember I directed you
They'll only think of Lily Garland
You are what they'll write about, Miss Lily Garland
You are what they'll talk about, just Lily Garland
Sign it Lily, they'll remember you forever
Listen, Lily, who remembers who directed Bernhardt, Lily? (Sign, Lily, sign, Lily, sign on the dotted line!)
Who remembers who directed Duse, Lily?
No one will remember I directed you (Sign, Lily, come back to us, Lily, sign!)
They'll only think of Lily Garland (What a beautiful moment)
You are who they'll write about, Miss Lily Garland (It's not a contract) (What a mystical moment)
You are what they'll talk about, just Lily Garland (It's more like a Valentine) (This is more than a contract)
Sign it Lily, they'll remember you forever (Sign it, sign it, sign, Lily, sign!) (It's more like taking the vows)
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Don't sign Lily!
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Don't sign, Lily!
Sign it
Sign it
Sign it
Don't sign!
Sign it
Sign it
Sign it
Don't sign!
Sign it (Why am I even considering this?)
Sign it
Sign it
Don't sign it!
Sign it (Is it the two hundred thousand dollars?)
Sign it
Sign it
No. It's more than that!
It's something else
Something else
Hear my heart hammer
Feel my pulse quicken
He and I once again
Together
Watch my hands tremble
Hear my voice thicken
Dare we fly once again
Together?
I got along without him
Felt sure and strong without him
Without him I had to find a way to live my life alone
I called my life my own
But how could I have known
That love from way back when
Would flood my heart again
That he'd walk in
And I'd feel strings begin
To pull me back
To where I'd been
I mustn't go
And yet I know I'm going
Deep sweet old feelings
Wild long lost longings
He and I here we are
Together
Every sigh warns me
Every breath cries beware.
But I don't care!
Since we parted, empty days
Made up what I'd call my life
Now he'll fill those empty days
From now on and all my life together
He and I together
He and I
Hey Lily
Stop! Be smart!
Say no, you can't go back
To long ago
You can't go back
You must come back
You can't go back
You must come back
You can't go back
You must come back
You can't go back
You must come back
You must say no
You can't say no
You must say no
You can't say no
You must say no (You can't say no)
You must say no (You can't say no)
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
Sign it, Lily!
Sign it, Lily!
Can I go back to long ago?
Sign it
Sign it
Sign it
Sign it, Lily (Sign it Lily, sign it Lily)
Don't sign, Lily!
Should I sign it?
Sign it, Lily
Sign it Lily
Sign it Lily
Don't sign, Lily!
I can't sign it
Sign it, Lily
Don't sign, Lily
Should I sign it?
Sign it, Lily
Sign it
Don't sign
Should I
Sign it, sign
Lily, sign!
