An American in Paris (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[HENRI]
All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers
Let me tell there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
[HENRI & COMPANY]
The gates of heaven
It's madness
[HENRI]
To be always sitting
[HENRI & COMPANY]
Around in sadness
[HENRI]
When you could be learning the steps of gladness
You'll be happy when you can do
[HENRI & COMPANY]
Just six or seven
[HENRI]
Begin today
You'll find it nice
The quickest way to paradise
When you practice
Here's the thing to do
Simply say as you go
[HENRI, spoken]
What you doing in my song?
[ADAM, spoken]
I wrote it
[HENRI]
On Monday, happy as a lark
You'll be getting started
When you learn to tow the mark
That's tow the mark
[HENRI, ADAM, & COMPANY]
Tow the mark!
[ADAM]
On Tuesday, you ought to show
Both your little regals
How to do the heel and toe
That's the heel and toe
[ADAM & COMPANY]
Heel and toe!
[HENRI]
On Wednesday, walk around the block
And then every corner
Stop and do the eagle walk
That's the eagle walk
[HENRI & COMPANY]
Eagle walk
[HENRI]
On Thursday, whistle as you go
To a journey off to Buffalo
[ADAM]
On Friday, take a little stroll
And do the Oceana roll
[HENRI]
On Saturday, you then let a go
When you do the tow the lo
[HENRI & ADAM]
On Sunday, I will guarantee
That you can do the chivalry
Chivalry, chivalry, chivalry
All together now!
[HENRY, ADAM, & COMPANY]
Tow the mark, heel and toe, eagle run off to Buffalo!
Oceana roll, tow the lo, chivalry
There you go!
[DANCE BREAK]
[HENRI, ADAM, & COMPANY]
I'll build a stairway to paradise
With a new step every day
I'm going to get there in any price
Stand aside, I'm on my way
[HENRI]
Hey! I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes go on and carry me there
[HENRI & COMPANY]
I'll build a stairway to paradise
[HENRI]
With a new step everyday!
[HENRI & COMPANY]
With a new, step, every, day!
[HENRI]
Day
[COMPANY]
I'll build a stairway to paradise
With a new step everyday!
