Samuel Goldwyn’s Guys and Dolls

[SARAH, spoken]
\nAsk me how do I feel
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nHow do you feel?
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nAsk me now that we're cozy and clinging
\nWell, sir, all I can say is
\nIf I were a bell I'd be ringing
\nFrom the moment we kissed tonight
\nThat's the way I've just got to behave
\nBoy, if I were a lamp I'd light
\nAnd If I were a banner I'd wave
\n
\nAsk me how do I feel
\nLittle me with my quiet upbringing
\nWell, sir, all I can say is
\nIf I were a gate I'd be swinging
\nAnd if I were a watch I'd start
\nPopping my spring
\nOr if I were a bell I'd go
\nDing, dong, ding, dong, ding
\n
\nAsk me how do I feel
\nFrom this chemistry lesson I'm learning
\n
\n[SKY, spoken]
\nChemistry?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nYeah, chemistry!
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nAll I can say is
\nIf I were a bridge I'd be burning
\nYes, I knew my morale would crack
\nFrom the wonderful way that you looked
\nBoy, if I were a duck I'd quack
\nOr if I were a goose I'd be cooked
\n
\nAsk me how do I feel
\nAsk me now that we're fondly caressing
\nPal, if I were a salad
\nI know I'd be splashing my dressing
\nAsk me how to describe
\nThis whole beautiful thing
\nWell, if I were a bell I'd go
\nDing, dong, ding, dong, ding!\n\n
