Good Morning, Good Day

Lyrics

[ARPAD] Good morning   [SIPOS] Good day   [ARPAD] How are you this beautiful day? Isn't this a beautiful morning?   [SIPOS] Very   [ARPAD] Hey, Sipos, how's this?   [SIPOS] That's an awfully elegant pose. But is all that elegance necessary?   [ARPAD, spoken] And why not? I represent Maraczek's, don't I? We're not a butcher shop or a hardware store. We're a parfumerie. And that means we're... we're...   [SIPOS] We're stylish   [ARPAD] That's it!   [SIPOS] With a quiet dignity   [ARPAD] Yes! And we get the tilt of our hats right   [SIPOS] That's right   [ARPAD] When I ride my bike, people see what Maraczek's like. So I think it's very important that I look my best   [SIPOS, spoken] And, uh, how many people have you run over today?   [ARPAD, spoken] Not one   [SIPOS, spoken] Well, it's early   [ARPAD, spoken] Here comes Miss Ritter   [SIPOS] Ah   [ARPAD, spoken] She spent the night with Mr. Kodaly   [SIPOS, spoken] Again?   [ARPAD, spoken] They always kiss goodbye at the newsstand. Then, she walks around the block to make us think she's been home   [ILONA] Good morning   [ARPAD & SIPOS] Good day   [ILONA] How are you this glorious day? Have you seen a lovelier morning?   [ARPAD & SIPOS] Never   [ILONA] It's too nice a day, to be inside shuffling soap. I have no more energy whatsoever (spoken) Anybody mind if I take the day off? Arpad, why aren't you old enough to take me away from all this?   [ARPAD, spoken] I'm old enough   [ILONA, spoken] Well, then marry me, and I'll quit my job. No... I'm afraid you're not really quite old enough   [ARPAD, spoken] It won't be long, though. I'm catching up. You know, Miss Horvath always used to say I'd get to be 35 before you ever did   [SIPOS, spoken] Ah, Mr. Kodaly   [KODALY] Good morning   [ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA] Good day   [KODALY] How are you this radiant day? What a rare, magnificent morning   [ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA] Is it?   [KODALY] Good morning, my dear. How are you this ravishing day? Do you know you've never looked more exquisite?   [ILONA] Thank you, kind sir   [KODALY, spoken] What a lovely dress   [ARPAD, spoken] Same one she had on yesterday, Mr. Kodaly   [SIPOS, spoken] Well, if it isn't Mr. Nowack   [GEORG] Good morning   [ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA & KODALY] Good day   [GEORG] Isn't that a beautiful sky? What a perfect sample of summer weather It's too nice a day, to be indoors counting out change What a waste of holiday weather, all together Let's all run away   [ILONA] Wouldn't it be something if we all took off from work?   [SIPOS] Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk?   [ARPAD] Why not have a picnic?   [SIPOS] I could bring my wife's preserves   [KODALY] Champagne might be nice with hot hors d'oeuvres   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] It's too nice a day [ILONA & KODALY] It's too nice a day   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] To be stuck inside of a store [ILONA & KODALY] To be stuck inside of a store   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] We could all be getting a... [ILONA & KODALY] We could all be getting a...   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] Suntan [ILONA & KODALY] Suntan   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] It's so nice a day [ILONA & KODALY] It's so nice a day   [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] To be dozing under a tree [ILONA & KODALY] To be dozing under a tree   [SIPOS] Then we'll all be out of a job   [ILONA] If it costs that much to get suntanned   [SIPOS] I'll stay untanned   [KODALY] Pale, but solvent   [ARPAD] A picnic...   [ALL] A picnic... Ah... oh, well
