Starting Here, Starting Now (Original London Cast)

0

[WOMAN 2]
\nThere's a big wide nuptial world just waiting for me
\nThere are pavements swarming with men, unmarried and free
\nThere are bachelors waiting in line
\nAnd there's one who's gonna be mine
\nHe doesn't know yet, but he is my fine young husband to be
\n
\nAnd he's just across the river
\nYes, he's just a bus ride away
\nSo I must get 'cross that river
\nIf I make this quick little hop
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, spoken]
\nYeah, yeah, yeah
\n
\n[WOMAN 2]
\nI can take my pick of the crop
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, spoken]
\nYeah!
\n
\n[WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nJust as soon as I set up shop
\n
\n[WOMAN 2 & MAN, WOMAN 1]
\nI'm starting my spree (There's a big wide nuptial world)
\n(Just waiting for me) What a matrimonial romp
\nIt's going to be (What a matrimonial romp)
\n
\n[MAN & WOMAN 1]
\n(It's going to be) For a girl who's loving and warm
\n
\n[WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2]
\nGuy who's loving
\n
\n[MAN]
\nHere's a life in need of some form
\n
\n[MAN, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2]
\nI know I can take this city by storm (Ooh)
\nIf she's there with me
\nAnd she's just (Just across the river)
\nAcross the river (Just across the river)
\nYes, she's just (Just across the river)
\nA stone's throw away (Just across the river)
\nLove is just (Just across the river)
\nAcross that river (Just across, just across)
\n
\n[MAN]
\nAnd a partnership with a wife
\nYes, I start the trip of my life
\nToday
\n
\n[MAN, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2]
\nIt starts today (Just across the river)
\nIt starts (Just across the river)
\nStarting here (Just across the river)
\nStarting now (Just across the river)
\nStarting love (Love! Wah dah doo love!)
\nWah dah doo love! Wah dah doo love!\n\n
