Lotte Lenya: American Theater Songs

[MRS. ANNA MAURRANT]
Somebody's going to be so handsome
Somebody's going to make me proud
Somebody's going to be so wonderful
He'll stand out from the crowd
Such a manly arm I'll have to lean on
When I walk down the avenue
Somebody will always be my standby
Who do you think it is?
Guess who?
[WILLIE, spoken]
Is it me, Ma?
[MRS. ANNA MAURRANT, spoken]
Of course it is, Willie. 
Now give me a nice big kiss and run off to school, or you'll be late. 
(sung)
Somebody will never
No, not ever, forget to care and understand
Yes, that is the grandest feeling
That any woman ever knew
To know I havе somebody wonderful
To know I have a boy likе you
[WILLIE, spoken]
So long, Ma. See you later. 
[MRS. ANNA MAURRANT]
To know I have a boy like you
