don't rain on my parade (reprise)

[the time has returned to the opening scene

with

fanny in her dressing room

remembering her past. it's the day nick gets out of prison after eighteen months. fanny tells ziegfeld she's ready to give up performing

if nick asks her. nick arrives and tells her he thinks

they should split up. fanny is rocked but pretends this

is what she feels also. nick leaves

and fanny prepares

to face the future without him:]

i'll march my band out

i'll beat my drum

guess we didn't make it

at least i didn't fake it. don't tell me not to live

just sit and putter

life's candy; the sun's

a ball of butter. don't bring around a cloud

to rain on my parade. i'm gonna live and live now

get what i want i know how

all that the law will allow. hey

gorgeous

here we go again. well

here it goes

kid

no lookin' back

stiff upper nose

kid

let's give 'em hell

brice

we'll cry a little later

well

brice

that's life in the the-a-ter!

get ready for me

world

'cause i'm a comer
