Let a little love

Let a little love

- Let a little love come in

Come in!

Let a little love

Let a little love

- Let a little love come in

Come in!

We're losing them, Angela.

You'll have to take over.

- Should I?

- Oh, sure.

Give a little shove

Light your way above

Let a little love come in

What?

Let there be love in your life

If there is love,

happiness will find you

And cloudy days soon will be behind you

Charlie, Charlie.

- To home, please.

- Aren't you going to wait for him, ma'am?

I pity the woman who waits for him.

If there is joy, you can banish sorrow

Give old Lucifer a shove

You can light your way above

If you let a little love in your life

Miss Bonfils will now distribute some

copies of our magazine, free of charge.

It would be very nice to hear the generous

jingle of a few coins in the tambourine.

- Angela.

- I'll have a magazine, please.

I'll treasure this all my life.

I'll sleep with it under my pillow.

- Would do you more good if you read it.

- I'll take one.

I'll take one.

Bless you, brother.

I'll have a magazine, please.

But you've already... Here.

- I'll take one, please.

- One for me.

- Bless you, brother.

- And me.

I'd like one, please.

What are you trying to do?

I wanna be saved by you and for you.

- You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

- I am, I am an awful sinner.

Coming down here in your fancy clothes.

Why don't you go back where you belong

and stop bothering us?

Bless you, brother.

- Beat it.

- Oh, wait, don't go.

- Let him have it.

- She ain't going. You are.

- Go back where you belong.

- Uptown swell.

- Beat it.

- Now, wait a minute, fellows.

- Now, wait a minute.

- Come on, let's go.

Are you hurt?

I'm numb.

Can you stand up?

I seem to be weak in the knees.

Oh, dear.

Your eyes are dazed and hazy.

- And blue.

- And blu...

There's nothing wrong with you.

Yes, there is, I'm in love.

Love?

You probably don't know about love.

Well, I certainly know it isn't

being numb, weak in the knees.

What is it?

Well, love is an emotion that's alive...

...exciting, vibrant.

You feel like a billowy cloud.

And you walk on air.

And good night.

And you walk on air.

And you walk on air.

And you walk on air.

Seeing's believing

And when I see you

I reali2e what an angel I found

I never thought I would see the day

When miracles occurred

And though the best of authorities

May not believe a word

Kissing's believing

And when I kiss you

I feel as though

We were miles off the ground

Never knew that dreams came true

But miraculously they do

Seeing's believing with you

Seeing's believing

And when I see you

I reali2e what an angel I found

I never thought I would see the day

When miracles occurred

- Dixie, would I lie to you?

- Ring that bell.

There's nobody at home.

I'll find out.

Nobody at home, huh?

- Did you shoot, mum?

- The shooting's just beginning around here.

My nephew is not here, Miss McCoy.

- Oh, you know me then, huh?

- From your picture.

- Last night you were hanging on the wall.

- Mrs. Hill...

Now put that gun away

or you'll be hanging my trophy room.

Come back here.

Well, you'd be upset, too.

if your heart was broken.

Oh, Charles, how could you hurt

and humiliate me so when...

Then expect me to just up and forget it

with a little old big-cash settlement.

Oh, Charles.

This isn't gonna be easy.

That I guarantee.

In which case, I will plaster the name of

Hill in every newspaper in this country.

I'll tell my story from the hippodrome

twice daily.

How much?

Ten thousand dollars.

Blackmail.

Maybe this will teach your nephew

not to toy with my little old heart.

When I get my hands

on that young man...

...I'm gonna toy with

his little old head.

- Female bandit. Here.

- Thank you.

I'll bet this is more

than the others collected.

- I better go and see that she gets a cab.

- You stay!

- Others? What others?

- I'll go and ask her.

One moment, you worm.

I might have known.

All these checks I've written

to Charles, five of them.

Supposedly for his pet charities.

Well, I'm through being charitable

to everyone he pets.

You find him

or I'll never give him another cent.

Not another cent?

Why, you'll ruin me.

Oh, get out. Go on, get out!

And for you, young man...

...you can just wipe that smile

off your face.

Let a little love come in

Oh, let a little love

Let a little love

Let a little love come in

Bless you, brother.

Say, aren't you...? Say, wait a minute.

Hello, beautiful.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He's sorry.

- What can I do for you?

- I'm looking for Miss Bonfils.

- She's upstairs.

- Thank you.

Wait a minute, aren't you the fella...?

And you, you're the young lady

who was singing.

- Yes.

- Divine.

Divine?

Come in.

- Good morning, Miss Bonfils.

- Good morning.

What on earth are you doing up there?

I can't help it. You affect me this way.

- Me?

- You know, what you said.

This is it, I'm in love.

Oh, but that's ridiculous.

You're only supposed to feel that way.

You don't actually...

When I go, I go all the way.

Well, if there's one thing I despise.

it's a showoff.

Well, what did you want?

I want to reform.

Turn over a new leaf.

- I doubt whether I can help.

- Oh, but you can.

You've influenced my life already.

Why, do you know

what I did this morning?

Don't tell me you went to church.

Oh, no, I stayed away from one.

Well, it's certainly not my intention

to influence people in that manner.

I'll explain the whole thing...

...when we get to know each other better.

And I have no intention

of influencing you like that, either.

Yes, Elsie?

- Angela... Oh, hello.

- Hello.

Oh, Angela, I finished the posters.

Oh, and here's the list, Elsie.

Well...

Now, I have work to do.

And I'll appreciate it

if you will kindly leave the premises.

But I belong here.

I'm one of your stray lambs.

A little lost sheep.

"Little lost sheep. "

Oh, please. You can't turn me away.

Why, everyone deserves a chance.

How do you know I'm not sincere?

People can be wrong sometimes.

You mustn't be biased or prejudiced.

Miss Bonfils.

Just because a man is more "uptrodden"

than downtrodden...

...is no reason to suspect his motives.

Frankly, it's the uptrodden

who need the saving these days.

- You've got a point there.

- Then you'll give me a chance?

You'll never regret it.

- I wonder.

- Oh, come on.

Where do we start?

Who will I save first?

- You.

- Me?

Couldn't we start with something easier

and work down to me?

Here's the address

of an employment agency.

What for?

If you really want to join our group...

...let's first see

if you can do an honest day's work.

Well, one day can't be so bad.

All right, I'll do it for you because...

To say I'm fond of you

Would merely be an attitude

To say you're wonderful

Would be a platitude

And so to Santa Claus

I owe eternal gratitude

for leaving you

Beneath my Christmas tree

Baby doll

You beautiful baby doll

Let's go home and tell your mother
