Ziegfeld Follies Page #6

Synopsis: In heaven, showman Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. fondly recalls his first Broadway revue, the Ziegfeld Follies of 1907. Even from heaven, he is hoping that he can, for one last time, create that same magic by mounting one last follies. As he thinks about who he would like to appear in these follies, he is assisted in realizing his fantasy, at least in his own mind, by such luminaries as Fred Astaire, Edward Arnold, 'Lucille Ball', Marion Bell, Lucille Bremer, Fanny Brice, Cyd Charisse, Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, James Melton, Victor Moore, Virginia O'Brien, Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Keenan Wynn, and, of course, a bevy of beautiful girls.

No, I'm not, Ginger.

- Well, so long, Gene.

- See you around.

- I've got a little number to do.

- I've got a little number to do.

- You have?

- Well, sure.

- Here?

- Sure.

Say, why don't we just ad-lib

a little something together then, huh?

- Whip it up here on the spot?

- Throw it away.

Like the one we've been rehearsing

for two weeks.

A Babbitt met a bromide

On the avenue one day

And held a conversation

In their own peculiar way

They both were solid citizens

They both had been around

And as they spoke you clearly saw

Their feet were on the ground

- Hello

- How are you?

- How's the folks?

- What's new?

- I'm great

- That's good

- Knock wood

- Well, well

- That's life

- What do you know?

- How's the wife?

- Gotta run

- Oh, my

- Ta-ta

- Olive oil

- Goodbye

Ten years went quickly by

For both these "substiantial" men

And then it happened that one day

They chanced to meet again

That they had both developed

In 10 years there was no doubt

And so of course they had

An awful lot to talk about

- Hello

- How are you?

- How's the folks?

- What's new?

- I'm great

- That's good

- Knock wood

- Well, well

- That's life

- What do you know?

- How's the wife?

- Gotta run

- Oh, my

- Ta-ta

- Olive oil

- Goodbye

Before they met again

Some 20 years they had to wait

This time it happened up above

Inside Saint Peter's gate

A harp each one was carrying

And both were sprouting wings

And this what they said as

They were strumming on the strings

- Hello

- How are you?

- How's the folks?

- What's new?

- I'm great

- That's good

- Knock wood

- Well, well

- That's life

- What do you know?

- How's the wife?

- Gotta fly

- Oh, my

- Ta-ta

- Olive oil

- Goodbye

The gleam of a blue-white moonlight

Makes diamonds of the stars

In the sky

The gold of an autumn sunset

Colors a cloud passing by

The night says goodbye

To the morning

And a heart says hello to a heart

All of these wonderful things

Shall endure

They're works of art

There's beauty everywhere

That everyone can share

A lovely world can be unfurled

To those who see and care

We search for beauty gay

Through every livelong day

And then someone comes into view

And suddenly you find it's true

That love is beauty too

And then someone comes into view

And suddenly you find it's true

That love is beauty too

And then someone comes into view

And suddenly you find it's true

That love is beauty too
