How can love survive
[Elsa]
Oh Max!
[Max]
In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle.
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snugggle.
They're famous for misfortune which
They seem tohave no fear of,
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of.
[Elsa]
No little shack does he share with me,
We do not flee from a mortgagee,
Nary a care in the world have we,
[Max]
How can love survive?
[Elsa]
He's fond of bonds and he ows a lot.
I have a plane and a diesel yacht,
[Max]
Plenty of nothing you haven't got!
[Both]
How can love survive?
[Elsa]
No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes
[Max]
You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedes-es!
[Elsa]
Far, very far off the beam are we,
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,
Two millionaires with a dream are we,
We're keeping romance alive.
Two millionaries with a dream are we,
We'll make our love survive...
How can I shw what I feel for him,
I cannot go out and steal for him,
I cannot die like Camile for him
[Max]
How can love survive?
You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure.
When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,
For l'amour all the poor have leisure!
[Elsa]
Caught in our gold platted chains are we,
Lost in our wealthy domains are we.
Trapped by our capital gains are we,
But we'll keep romance alive.
[Max]
Trapped by your capital goals are you
[Both]
We'll make our love
survive!
No way to stop it
[She]
You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist,
Today you have to learn to be a realist.
[He]
You may be bent on doing deed of daring due,
But up against a shark, what can a herring do?
[She]
Be wise, compromise.
[He]
Compromise, and be wise!
[She]
Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal.
[He]
I will not bow my head to the men I despise!
[Other He]
You won't have to bow your head to stoop a little.
[She]
Why not learn to put your faith and your reliance,
On an obvious and simple fact of science?
Refrain
[She]
A crazy planet full of crazy people,
Is somersaulting all around the sky.
And everytime it turns another somersault,
Another day goes by.
And there's no way to stop it,
No, there's no way to stop it.
No, you can't stop it even if you tried.
So, I'm not going to worry,
No, I'm not going to worry,
Everytime I see another day go by.
[He]
While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle,
We make a cockeyed circle 'round the sun.
And when we circle back to where we started from,
Another year has run.
[Both]
And there's no way to stop it,
No, there's no way to stop it,
If the earth wants to roll around the sun.
You're a fool if you worry.
You're a fool if you worry,
Over anything but little number one.
[He]
That's you!
[She]
That's I!
[He]
And I!
[Other He]
And me!
[He]
That all absorbing character.
[She]
That fastinating creature.
[Other He]
That super special feature,
[All]
Me!
[He]
So every star on every whirling planet,
And every constellation in the sky,
Revolves around the center of the universe,
That lovely thing called, I.
[All]
And there's no way to stop it.
No, there's no way to stop it,
And I know, though I cannot tell you why (sigh).
Just as long as I'm living,
Just as long as I'm living,
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I.
I! I! I! Nothing else as wonderful as I! |
