How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[SMITTY]
How often does it happen that a secretary's boss
Wants to marry her?
[WOMEN]
Hallelujah!
[SMITTY]
How often does the dream come true
Without a sign of conflict or barrier?
[WOMEN]
Hallelujah!
[SMITTY]
Why treat the man like he was a typhoid carrier?
How often can you fly from this land of carbon paper
To the land of flowered chintz?
[WOMEN]
Hallelujah!
[SMITTY]
How often does a Cinderella get a crack at the prince?
[WOMEN]
Cinderella and the prince
[SMITTY]
Don't you realize
You're a real life fairy tale
A symbol divine?
So if not for your own sake
Please, darling, for mine
[WOMEN]
And mine, and mine, and mine
Don't, don't, don't
Cinderella, darling
Don't turn down the prince
[SMITTY]
Don't rewrite your story
You're the legend, the folklore
The working girl's dream of glory
[WOMEN]
We were raised on you, darling
And we've loved you ever since
Don't mess up a major miracle
Don't, Cinderella
Don't turn down the prince
[SMITTY]
Oh, let us live it with you
Each hour of each day
On from Bergdorf Goodman
[WOMEN, variously]
To Elizabeth Arden
In the station wagon
Hurry from Twenty-One...
To the Tarrytown P.T.A. 
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
No, New Rochelle
[WOMEN, SMITTY]
New Rochelle, P.T.A. 
(Please) Oh, do not leave us minus
(Please) Our vicarious bonus
(Please) We want to see his highness
(Please) Married to your lowness
[SMITTY]
On you, Cinderella, sits the onus
So when you name the happy day
Please, phone us
[WOMEN]
Phone us
But don't, don't
Don't, Cinderella, darling
Don't turn down the prince
[SMITTY]
Why spoil our enjoyment?
You're the fable
The symbol of glorified unemployment
[SMITTY & WOMEN]
We were raised on you, darling
And we've loved you ever since
Don't louse up our favorite fairy tale
Don't, Cinderella
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, Cinderella
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, Cinderella, don't
Don't turn down the prince
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Alright, I'll give him one more chance
[WOMEN]
Hallelujah!
