Lyrics

[BELLHOP 1] Hotel Del Coronado, may I help you? [BELLHOP 2] Hotel Del Coronado, may I be of service? [BELLHOP 3] Hotel Del Coronado, please hold [BELLHOPS] Paging Mr. Fielding [BELLHOP 2] Telegram, telegram! [BELLHOPS] Phone for Mr. Fielding! [BELLHOP 3] Wall Street calling! [BELLHOP 4] Your mother calling! [BELLHOPS] Tell us Mr. Fielding What's the key to your success? You seem to float above a world That's totally a mess! [OSGOOD, spoken] Well... (sung) They say the Great Depression's gotten everybody's goat But Pops invented root beer, and it's keeping me afloat! And so I've sailed the sеven seas to find myself a matе Love comes and goes, and heaven knows I've spent a lot on bait! Yes, money can be made or lost, for that's what money does But that's not why, at night, I cry The reason is because I like sailing on every coast I've got millions, but I can't boast Because I'm missing what I need most I'm a poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Doo-wop, doo-wop! [OSGOOD] Most girls think I'm a perfect match [BELLHOPS] Yeah! [OSGOOD] They see me and think, "Ooh, what a catch!" [BELLHOPS] Mmm-hmm [OSGOOD] But all my lovers go down the hatch I'm a poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Doo-wop, doo-wop, bop! [OSGOOD] I pay my taxes, I got no debt I'm just a little pot o' gold! [BELLHOPS] Pot o' gold! [OSGOOD] So I keep casting out my fishing net But the only thing I catch is a cold! [BELLHOPS] Aww! [OSGOOD] But I'll keep sailing across the sea Until that siren starts beckoning me And when we merge, I'll no longer be Just a [OSGOOD & BELLHOPS] Poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Doo-wow! [SWEET SUE, spoken] The Hotel Del Coronado! We made it! [DAPHNE, spoken] Smell that ocean air! [JOE (as Josephine), spoken] It almost makes you wanna run away to Mexico! [SUGAR, spoken] It looks like a movie set! [DAPHNE, spoken] I've never seen anything like it! The view is... [DAPHNE & OSGOOD, spoken] Absolutely beautiful! [OSGOOD] I was sitting in sad repose But then the boat started rockin' And there she blows! [BELLHOPS] Woo! [OSGOOD] So now I'm hoping that Lorelei goes For a poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Doo-wop, doo-wop! [OSGOOD] Like Captain Ahab, I'm in my prime And I could show you a whale of a time I pray you aren't put off that I'm Just a poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Doo-wop, doo-wop, bop! [OSGOOD] I've been lookin' for a gal for whom Cash is not an aphrodisiac [BELLHOPS] Good luck! [OSGOOD] 'Cause the nights are lonely, only countin' your stash And though I love my money It doesn't kiss back! [BELLHOPS] Aww! [OSGOOD] Do you believe in love at first sight? It sure is whetting my appetite So, say you'll sail on my yacht tonight With this [OSGOOD & BELLHOPS] Poor little millionaire! [OSGOOD, spoken] Oh, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Osgood Fielding the third.​ [DAPHNE, spoken] I guess that makes me Cinderella the second! [OSGOOD, spoken] I'm the proprietor of this humble oasis. We aim to make our guests feel equally welcome and properly pampered. May I help with your case? [DAPHNE, spoken] I can do my own heavy lifting, thank you! [OSGOOD, spoken] You must be with the band! I have a front row table to your show tonight.​ [DAPHNE, spoken] I'll try not to spit on you.​ [OSGOOD, spoken] Oh, don't hold back on my account! I'm a Pisces! [DAPHNE, spoken] Good! Then you know there's other fish in the sea.​ [OSGOOD, spoken] Pardon me. Might you know that young Aphrodite's name? [JOE (as Josephine), spoken] Who, Daphne? [OSGOOD, spoken] Daphne! Time stands still! Daphne! [OSGOOD, BELLHOPS, BOTH] My poor love life was all at sea (Ooh) I was all resigned to walk the plank (Walk the plank) But now my heart's feeling quite fancy-free (Ooh) So let's bust open my piggy bank! (Piggy!) Be my matey and say "aye, aye!" (Aye!) The next step, baby, we'll hit the sky! On the kind of happiness money can't buy With your poor little millionaire! [BELLHOPS] Millionaire! [OSGOOD] Whoo!
