On the Town...

I’m finally out of the closet
A-a-a-a-a-a-h-
Oh, my life is great,
And my future is greater.
Sleep, sleep, in my sweetie’s arms.

QUARTET:
Rest in your sweetie’s arms.

2nd Girl:
Ya got the time, sis?

3rd Girl:
Five minutes to nine!

Girl:
I left my dear lover still sleeping.
O-o-o-o-o-o-h-
Oh, my life is sweet.
But my girl is sweeter.
Sleep, sleep in my sweetie’s arms.

QUARTET:
Rest in your sweetie’s arms.

2ND GIRL:
Hey, what time is it?

3RD GIRL:
One minute to nine.

GIRL:
All night I dreamed about girl.
W-a-a-a-a-a-h-
Oh, her smile is true,
and her eyes are bluer.
Sleep, sleep in my lady's arms.

QUARTET:
Rest in your sweetie’s arms.

2ND GIRL:
What time is it now, sis?

GIRL:
Aw, nine o'clock, okay!?

LIZZIE:
Come on, Gabey, hurry up!

CHARLENE:
Twenty-four hours!

ANNOYING GUY:
Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'.
You'd think it was your first time in New York!

GABEY:
It is!

(The ladies look around them, happily absorbing the scene.)

ALL:
New York, New York!
It's a fabulous town!

GABEY:
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous stores!

LIZZIE:
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
And a bunch of annoying boors;
But we've boobs on our chests
So what we like the best are the stores
Stores! More! Stores!

ALL:
New York, New York, a fabulous town.
My E is up, with hardly any T around.
Gee I wonder if I’ll fit in that gown?
New York, New York, it's a fabulous town!

CHARLENE:
(points to Flirty Fashionista)
Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look.

(consulting her guidebook with reverence and excitement)

Gabey, it says here "this playful, pink-accented store is a treasure trove of trendy apparel for the flirty fashionista"

LIZZIE:
Here we go again!

CHARLENE:
The famous places to shop are so many,
Or so the guidebooks say.
I promised myself I wouldn't miss on any.
And we have just one day.
Got to see the whole town
From All Things Cool to Fit for Broa-oadway.

ALL:
In just one day!

New York, New York, a fashionista's place,
Where everyone shops at a hectic pace,
But with every boutique really screaming for space.
New York, New York, a fashionista’s place!

(Two other ladies approach - one happy, one very glum.)

GABEY:
Hey! Look who's comin' back! It's Tina and Andi!

LIZZIE:
Hey, Tina! Hey Andi! Hey, girls how are the uptown ladies?

ANDI:
Disappointing - I don't remember a thing!

TINA:
Wonderful! I remember everything!

(Tina and Andi exit.)

LIZZIE:

Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin,
Or so the ladies say;
There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan,
When you have just one day;
Gotta pick up a pair of shoes...

CHARLENE:
Maybe seven...

OZZIE:
Or eight
On your way.

ALL:
In just one day!
