[MARINE, spoken]
I bring a message for Miss Liza Elliott
[LIZA, spoken]
From?
[MARINE, spoken]
The President of the United States
[LIZA, spoken]
And?
[MARINE, spoken]
The President requests—
[LIZA, spoken]
Yes?
[MARINE, spoken]
That for the national unity—
[LIZA, spoken]
Yes?
[MARINE, spoken]
For the furtherance of goodwill—
[LIZA, spoken]
Yes?
[MARINE, spoken]
For the advancement of cultural and artistic achievement—
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Yes?
[MARINE, spoken]
Your portrait be painted and your likeness used on the new two-cent stamp
[LIZA, spoken]
How really lovely!
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, how thrilled she ought to be
At that, there's none so far as she
[LIZA, spoken]
Who is to paint me, and where?
[MARINE, spoken]
I am to paint you, and here
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, girl of the moment
With the smile of the day
And the charm of the week
And the grace of the month
And the looks of the year
Oh, girl of the moment
You're my moment every time
[MARINE, spoken]
The portrait is finished
[LIZA, shrieking]
Ah!
[WOMAN 1]
It looks like Liza
[MAN 1]
But is it Liza?
[WOMAN 2]
The looks of Liza
[MAN 2]
The size of Liza
[ENSEMBLE]
But if it's Liza
Why is Liza
So un-Liza-like?
[MARINE]
I painted Liza
It must be Liza
The looks of Liza
The size of Liza
[ENSEMBLE]
If she is Liza
And she is Liza
What is Liza really like?
What is Liza really like?
What is Liza really like?
What is Liza really like?
Oh, girl of the moment
With the smile of the day
And the charm of the week
And the grace of the month
And the looks of the year
Oh, girl of the moment
Where's the girl that was sublime?
