The Will Rogers Follies (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Presents for Mrs. Rogers
We've been through so much together
Dark, torrential weather
We've managed to muddle
Through every muddy puddle
Old Saul would never shine
Still, you kept your hand in mine
Now comes the sun
Why run?
Oh, stick with me baby, let's kick up our heels
Taste the best of it, sniff the zest of it, feel how luxury feels
Take the fruits of our labors and splurge to the hilt
We deserve to be blooming before we must wilt
Where's the gold in the good life if you're knee deep in guilt?
Listen, honey
It's only money
Diamonds for Mrs. Rogers
They shine so bright, like the light in your eyes
Rubies for Mrs. Rogers
Not like the rhinestones you once got from other guys
Sapphires, so blue and brilliant
They all combine to make your gems red, white and blue
With all the jewels above
I'm saluting our love
I'm true blue to the flag and true to you
Em'ralds for Mrs. Rogers (Em'ralds)
Cuz I turn green when you don't look my way
Topaz, not quite so precious (Topaz)
Perhaps Madame could wear them on some rainy day
(On some rainy day)
(Pearls) Peals for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
To grace the neckline of the queen who rules my heart
Where, as the jewels above
You were fashioned for love
You are nature's perfect living work of art
Diamonds (Diamonds) for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
They seem so dim when compared to your eyes
(They seem so dim when compared to your eyes)
Topaz (Topaz) and precious em'ralds (And precious em'ralds)
And rubies red and sapphires blue and just your size
(Rubies red and sapphires blue and pearls)
Pearls for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
These are necessities no wife of mine should lack
If you will have nothing of
All these proofs of my love
I'll throw them in a sack and take them back
Dark, torrential weather
We've managed to muddle
Through every muddy puddle
Old Saul would never shine
Still, you kept your hand in mine
Now comes the sun
Why run?
Oh, stick with me baby, let's kick up our heels
Taste the best of it, sniff the zest of it, feel how luxury feels
Take the fruits of our labors and splurge to the hilt
We deserve to be blooming before we must wilt
Where's the gold in the good life if you're knee deep in guilt?
Listen, honey
It's only money
Diamonds for Mrs. Rogers
They shine so bright, like the light in your eyes
Rubies for Mrs. Rogers
Not like the rhinestones you once got from other guys
Sapphires, so blue and brilliant
They all combine to make your gems red, white and blue
With all the jewels above
I'm saluting our love
I'm true blue to the flag and true to you
Em'ralds for Mrs. Rogers (Em'ralds)
Cuz I turn green when you don't look my way
