The I Love You Song

Lyrics

[PANCH, spoken] Miss Ostrovsky. Chimerical. [OLIVE, spoken] May I have a definition? [PANCH, spoken, voice fading out] It means "Unreal. Magical. Visionary. Wildly fanciful. Highly unrealistic." [RONA as OLIVE'S MOM] Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh [OLIVE] If I go to Washington Will I be on my own? Because if I go to Washington [OLIVE'S MOM] Aaah aah aah aah aah aah [OLIVE] Who will be my chaperone? [OLIVE'S MOM] We always knew you were a winner We saw it when you smiled Start from the beginning When you were a beginner You were the perfect child We always knew, we always knew, you were a champion You sadness filled my room Dear, if you should feel my gloom Blame it on me Blame it on your Daddily and Mammily 'Cause depression runs in our family I-I-I love you I-I-I love you I love everything about you dear And I swear it's true I love you [MITCH as OLIVE'S DAD] I-I-I love you [OLIVE, spoken] And my dad says: [OLIVE'S PARENTS] I-I-I love you I love everything about you, baby/babe And maybe it's true: I love you [OLIVE] I wrote you a letter How I found the spelling bee such fun Mama, Mama, Mama But you didn't react And you never asked me If I'd join you in the Bombay sun Mama, Mama, Mama I had quietly packed When are you returning? I know we agreed Tell me what you're learning Ma, I have Oh God This need... I think Dad is angry, Ma And I do not know what to do Mama, Mama, Mama Shanti, shanti and om I think he takes out on me What he wants to take out on you Mama, Mama, Mama How I wish you were home How I wish you were home How I wish you were Wish you were [OLIVE] Home— How I wish you were Home How I wish you were How I wish you were Home How I wish you were How I wish you were Home Mama, Mama, Mama How I Wish you were Home— Mama! I-I-I love you I love you, Mama I love you, Mama Mama! Mama! [OLIVE'S MOM] We always knew you were a winner A bathing beauty, You Olive, we couldn't be prouder Please let me say it One time louder I-I-I love you I-I-I love you I love everything about you, dear And I swear it's true I love you I-I-I love you I-I-I love you I love everything about you, dear And I swear it's true I love...

[OLIVE, spoken] Chimerical. C-h-i-m-e-r-i-c-a-l. Highly unrealistic, wildly fanciful. [PANCH, spoken] That is correct. [OLIVE & PARENTS] I love you
