How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (New Broadway Cast Recording (1995))

[SMITTY, spoken]
I've seen some ambitious characters around here
But this boy is the eagerest beaver of them all
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
New Rochelle
[SMITTY, spoken]
Huh?
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Or maybe White Plains, no
[ROSEMARY]
New Rochelle
[SMITTY, spoken]
What are you talking about?
[ROSEMARY]
New Rochelle
That's the place where the mansion will be
[SMITTY, spoken]
Oh, please
[ROSEMARY]
For me and the darling bright young man
I've picked out for marrying me
[SMITTY, spoken]
I don't believe this
[ROSEMARY]
He'll do well, I can tell
So it isn't a moment too soon
To plan on my life in New Rochelle
The wife of my darling tycoon
[SMITTY, spoken]
Honey, you'll be in New Rochelle
Your darling tycoon will be here in the office
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Smitty, I–
[SMITTY, spoken]
Ah, ah!
The future Mrs. Finch is in for some very lonely nights
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
I'm prepared for exactly that sort of thing
[ROSEMARY]
I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
'Til he comes wearily home from downtown
I'll be there waiting until his mind is clear
While he looks through me, right through me
Waiting to say, "Good evening, dear, I'm pregnant
What's new with you from downtown?"
Oh, to be loved by a man I respect
To bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect
Oh, to belong in the aura of his frown
Darling busy frown
Such heaven!
Wearing the wifely uniform
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
'Til he comes wearily home from downtown
Wearily home from downtown
