Happy Endings / Let’s Hear it for Me

Lyrics

[GORDON KENDRICK, spoken] Frankie! Come to the opening night party with me and my guests! We'll stay out all night, watch the newspapers with the reviews get loaded onto the trucks, then watch the line form at the box office [GORDON KENDRICK, sung] Happy endings, all around you Happy endings, all I see are Happy endings on a Broadway stage [FRANCINE, spoken] I only have one line — [GORDON KENDRICK, spoken] You'll be down front soon enough, picture this: [GORDON KENDRICK, sung] Lovely lady, gallant fellow Meet one evening, hear that cello! Let the passion rage, but on that final pagе Count on a happy ending Making music, happy ending Making money Happy еnding in a Broadway show [GORDON KENDRICK, spoken] Someday, everyone will be cheering for you [STAGE HAND] Places for the finale! [GORDON KENDRICK, spoken] Don't worry! I'll find you later tonight, yes? [FRANCINE, SPOKEN] There's a gentleman at the door, he says he's your brother [COMPANY, spoken] Your brother?! [COMPANY] Happy endings, all around me Happy endings, all I see are Happy endings on a Broadway stage, ooh! Lovely lady, gallant fellow Meet one evening, hear that cello! Let the passion rage, but on that final page Count on a happy ending By a river, happy endings On a mountain, happy endings In a Broadway show, ooh! Cheering for me now Cheering for me now Cheering for me now [FRANCINE] Blow the bugle, sound the cymbal All my troubles fill a thimble I'm as happy as it's legal to be Come on folks, let's hear it for me! Give the downbeat, start the drumming Cue the chorus, keep 'em humming 'Cause I'm climbing to the top of that tree Come on folks, let's hear it for me! For this overwhelming sensation I could stand a standing ovation Give my entrance cue to the band And give the little lady a great big hand Slide the trombone, let it swell out This performance is a sell out And the critics and the public agree I'm the number one attraction to see So applaud it and cheer it Come on now, let's hear it for me! [COMPANY] Happy endings Happy endings In a Broadway show! [FRANCINE] Grab a ticket, find your row now Feel the house lights start to go now Tell those maddening distractions to flee They've been banished by a royal decree And your head feels so good When you finally clear it If I saw a worry, I wouldn't go near it Come on now, come on kid Let's hear it Let's hear it for me!
