who taught her everything?

eddie

the ziegfeld follies!

now she belongs to the ages!

my work is done

my work is done

our work is done

she doesn't need us

she'll have cake

we'll have crumbs. be careful of the stage door

here she comes

here she comes. hello

fanny

hello. hello

fanny--it's me--mama. what do you mean--mama who?

it's good to see her. from afar

i lost a daughter but i gained a star. that's broadway!

and

who taught her ev'rything she knows?

i taught her ev'rything she knows--

she sings like a bird--

yes

indeed!

but who used to stand there

and feed her the seed?

who taught her how to pick her clothes?

eddie

that i did. yeah

but who taught her her how to tap her toes?

but will she admit it?

kid

you said it. they all forget they know ya

when it comes to credit. tell me have you ever seen her take this pose?

i taught her ev'rything--

how to hoof

and how to sing

i taught her ev'rything she knows. wait

eddie--she'll blame us yet. who taught her ev'rything she knows?

let me hear it

rosie. i taught her ev'rything she knows. ain't it the truth!

that mischievous smile

the devil may care

you don't pull

such mannerisms

out of the air. the men who are older might prefer

the original manufactur-er. it hurts me to say it

but why not be fair--

when you see her on the stage

you're seein' me there. she still has trouble executin' one of those

if they could have paid the price

they'd have hired rosie brice

who stands after every show

sellin' matches in the snow. but in the world of grease paint

that's the way it goes. we taught her everything--

how to hoof and how to sing

we taught her how to wack

a joke from here to hackensack--ya

ha

ha

ha!

we taught her everything

we taught her ev'rything she knows.
