Guys and Dolls: First Complete Recording

[SKY, spoken]
\nI wonder what this guy will be like?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nHe will not be a gambler
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nI'm not interested in what he will not be
\nI am interested in what he will be
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nDon't worry, I'll know
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nFor I've imagined every bit of him
\nFrom his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
\nTo the homey aroma of his pipe
\n
\n[SKY]
\nYou have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad
\nThe breakfast-eating, Brooks Brothers type
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nYes
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nAnd I shall meet him when the time is ripe
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nYou got the guy all figured out
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nI have
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nIncluding what he smokes
\nAll figured out, huh?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nAll figured out
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nI'll know when my love comes along
\nI won't take a chance
\nFor oh, he'll be just what I need
\nNot some fly-by-night Broadway romance
\n
\n[SKY]
\nAnd you'll know at a glance
\nBy the two pair of pants
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nI'll know by the calm steady voice
\nThose feet on the ground
\nI'll know as I run to his arms
\nThat at last I've come home safe and sound
\nAnd 'til then, I shall wait
\nAnd 'til then, I'll be strong
\nFor I'll know when my love comes along
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nNo, no, no, you're talking about love
\nYou can't dope it like that
\nWhat are you picking, a guy or a horse?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nI wouldn't expect a gambler to understand
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nWould you like to hear how a gambler feels
\nAbout the big heart throb?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nNo
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nWell, I'll tell you
\n
\n[SKY]
\nMine will come as a surprise to me
\nMine I'll leave to chance and chemistry
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nChemistry?
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nYeah, chemistry
\n
\n[SKY]
\nSuddenly I'll know when my love comes along
\nI'll know then and there
\nI'll know at the sight of her face
\nHow I care, how I care, how I care
\nAnd I'll stop and I'll stare
\nAnd I'll know, long before we can speak
\nI'll know in my heart
\nI'll know and I won't ever ask
\n"Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?"
\nBut I'll stop and I'll stare
\nAt that face in the throng
\nYes, I'll know when my love
\n
\n[SKY & SARAH]
\nComes along (I'll know)
\n
\n[SKY & SARAH]
\nWhen my love comes along
\n
\n[SKY kisses SARAH tenderly but she doesn't respond. They separate. SARAH comes over to SKY and slaps him.]
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nI'll drop in again
\nIn case you want to take a crack at the other cheek
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nI won't take a chance
\nMy love will be just what I need
\nNot some fly-by-night Broadway romance
\nAnd 'til then, I shall wait
\nAnd 'til then, I'll be strong
\nFor I'll know when my love comes along\n\n
