Ain’t It Romantic?

Lyrics

[KAY] Listen to a dream Came to me With a lovely theme As you'll see Made me very happy In it was a chappie Who was handsome as could be Girls along the way Used to sigh But he wouldn't play He'd pass them by Their glances all were futile Love he never knew 'til One fine day I caught his eye I met him and he met me Oh gosh, oh gee [SHORTY] Ain't it romantic? [KAY] He was shy and so was I Oh me, oh my [SHORTY] Ain't it romantic? [KAY] I began to blush He began to flush All the noisy world was a-hush Then he grabbed me, oh, what charms Were in his arms [SHORTY] Ain't it romantic? [KAY] Very soon the month of June A wedding tune [SHORTY] Ain't it romantic? [KAY] Then a little cottage fair Everything so lovely there But my castles went up in smoke At the moment that I awoke I was nearly frantic [SHORTY] Yes, but ain't it romantic, dear? [KAY, spoken] Oh, Shorty, if only life weren't so complicated I wish I really were Jane, the maid [SHORTY, spoken] Wish you were? Then there might be a chance for me [KAY, spoken] You'd be the nice old postman And I'd be terribly fond of you [SHORTY, spoken] Would you? Really? [KAY, spoken] But I'm afraid I'd love the town policeman Jimmy'd make a beautiful policeman [SHORTY, spoken] Please don't talk to me about policemen [KAY, spoken] I'd go out walking with Jimmy We'd go arm in arm along the path up the river [SHORTY, spoken] And don't use that expression, "Up the river" [KAY, spoken] Just think how simple everything would be [JIMMY, as POLICEMAN] Oh, how happy we shall be [KAY, as MAID] Oh gosh, oh gee Ain't it romantic? [POLICEMAN] We'll be wealthy too, says I [MAID] Oh me, oh my Ain't it romantic? [POLICEMAN] You shall be a queen Whose like was never seen [MAID] Can I have a sewing machine? [POLICEMAN] You'll be through with broom and sink And you'll wear mink [MAID] Ain't it romantic? [POLICEMAN] Lots of pinkish underthings And diamond rings [MAID] Ain't it romantic? [POLICEMAN] Then we'll have a private yacht Seven castles and whatnot [POLICEMAN disappears.] [MAID] But my castles went up in smoke At the moment that I awoke I was nearly frantic Oh, but ain't it romantic, dear?
