The I Love You Song

MR. PANCH: Miss Ostrovsky. Chimerical
OLIVE: May I have the definition?
MR. PANCH: It means unreal, imaginary, visionary, wildly fanciful, highly unrealistic...

OLIVE'S MOM
Oooooooh
Oooooooh

OLIVE
If I go to Washington
Will I be on my own?
Because if I go to Washington

OLIVE'S MOM
Aaaaaaah

OLIVE
Who will be my chaperone?

OLIVE'S MOM
We always knew you were a winner
We saw it when you smiled
Start from the beginning, when you were a beginner
You were the perfect child
We always knew
We always knew
You were a champion
Your sadness filled my room
Dear if you should feel my gloom
Blame it on me
Blame it on your Daddalee and Mammalee
'Cause depression runs in our family
I love you
I love you
I love everything about you dear
And I swear it's true
I love you

OLIVE'S DAD
I love you

OLIVE
And my dad says

OLIVE'S PARENTS
I love you
I love everything about you And maybe it's true
I love you

OLIVE
I wrote you a letter
How I found the spelling bee such fun
Mama Mama Mama!
But you didn't react
And you never asked me
If I'd join you in the Bombay sun
Mama Mama Mama!
I had quietly packed
When are you returning
I know we agreed
Tell me what you're learning
Ma I have Oh God! This need
I think Dad is angry Ma
And I do not know what to do
Mama Mama Mama!
Shanty Shanty and Om
I think he takes out on me what he wants to take out on you
Mama Mama Mama!
How I wish you were home
How I wish you were home
How I wish you were
Wish you were home...

OLIVE'S PARENTS
We always knew you were a winner

OLIVE
How I wish you were home

OLIVE'S MOM
A bathing beauty, you

OLIVE (overlapping Olive's Mom)
How I wish you were
How I wish you were home

OLIVE'S DAD
God, we love the way you grew
Since you were born

OLIVE (overlapping Olive's Dad)
How I wish you were
How I wish you were home

OLIVE'S MOM
Olive, we couldn't be prouder

OLIVE
Mama, Mama, Mama
How I wish you were home

OLIVE'S PARENTS (overlapping Olive)
Please let me say it
One time louder

OLIVE'S PARENTS
I love you
I love you
I love everything about you

OLIVE'S MOM
And I swear it's true

OLIVE'S DAD (overlapping Olive's Mom)
Maybe it's true

OLIVE'S PARENTS

OLIVE: Chimerical. C-h-i-m-e-r-i-c-a-l. Highly unrealistic, wildly fanciful.

MR. PANCH: That is correct.

OLIVE, OLIVE'S PARENTS
I love you
