the man for me (the letter song)

there is nothing doing at night!

that's silly! what can i write?

how i wish that you could be here!

that's stupid! can't think!

oh

dear!

i wish someone could help me!

writing always makes me nervous!

if mademoiselle forgives me-

i am at her service!

oh!

oh-i'm sorry! allow me!

it's such a stupid letter!

i'll be indebted if you let me help you

oh

no! i'd be the debtor!

what can i write?

it's so hard for me. night after night

is dull as can be. l'm writing to a girlfriend

my little marie!

let me see! let me see!

why don't you write this

as i dictate it. i have met the one man

my dear!

who is it?

on a visit here!

i am so excited tonight!

excited?

and delighted! dear!

he is so distinguished and sweet

very debonair yet discreet!

he's the height of fashion!

my passion's at fever heat!

he's so modest all of the while

oh

very!

with a merry smile. he is made of iron. he's tall. gigantic!

with romantic style!

he's a julius caesar in mind

with apollo's beauty combined. so

my little friend

you see

he's the very man for me!

i'll sign my name!

it' s easy to see

this little note

is sweet as can be. it's sure to please your

girlfriend

your

little marie!

now read it for me

read it for me!

i have met a foolish young man

who is it?

on a visit here!

i'll get rid of him if i can. i'm choking. i'm not joking

dear. he is undistinguished and plain!

very unattractive yet vain!

and he needs a shaking!

i'm taking

the first fast train!

all he does is grin like a mule!

i'm frowning. he's a clowning fool!

he could never learn how to love!

i'll grow to-

he should go to school!

he's a simple simon in mind. to describe his looks is unkind. so

my little friend

you see

he is not the man for me.
