Finale Lyrics by Jack Cassidy (Actor), Laurel Shelby, Portia Nelson

On Your Toes (1952 Studio Cast)

0

[ENSEMBLE]
See the pretty apple, top of the tree
The higher up, the sweeter it grows
Picking fruit you've gotta be
Up on your toes
See the pretty penthouse, top of the roof
The higher up, the higher rent goes
Get that dough, don't be a goof
Up on your toes
They climb the clouds
To come through with airmail
The dancing crowds
Look up to some rare male
Like that Astaire male
See the pretty lady, top of the crop
You wanna know the way the wind blows?
Then, my boy, you'd bettеr hop
Up on your toes
Up on your toes
[PEGGY]
Mother told mе
There's no use asking why
[ENSEMBLE]
He loves she and she loves he
[PEGGY]
The heart is quicker than the eye
Mother warned me
That fair play doesn't apply
[ENSEMBLE]
Turn your back and love goes whack
[PEGGY]
The heart is quicker than the eye
[ENSEMBLE]
Love can kill you off, baby
Faster than "Flit"
It finds its mark
And toots, you're it
[PEGGY]
Mother told me
"Your looks don't rate so high"
[PEGGY & ENSEMBLE]
Don't you mind for love is blind
The heart is quicker than the eye
[ENSEMBLE]
It's gotta be love
[FRANKIE & ENSEMBLE]
It couldn't be tonsillitis (Oh no)
It feels like neuritis (Mmm hmm)
But nevertheless it's love
[ENSEMBLE]
Don't tell me the pickles and pie à la mode
They served me
Unnerved me
And made my heart a broken-down pump
It's gotta be love
[JUNIOR]
It isn't the morning after
That makes every rafter
Go spinning around above
[ENSEMBLE]
I'm sure that it's fatal, or why do I get
That sinking feeling?
I think that I'm gone
But nevertheless it's only love
Up on your toes
Up on your toes!
