I Can Get It For You Wholesale (New Cast Recording)

[RUTHIE RIVKIN, spoken]
\nWhat a business
\n
\n[MISS MARMELSTEIN, spoken]
\nIn less than an hour, we'll know if we even have a business
\n(sung)
\nIf you don't want to get nervous
\nDo yourself a great big service
\nStay away, far away from 7th Avenue
\nYou can lose your sense and reason
\nGuessing what style for next season
\nYes, the dress business will make a wreck of you
\n
\n[RUTHIE RIVKIN & MISS MARMELSTEIN]
\nOn guessing what a day will say
\nA sheer impossibility
\nThese poor kids brave, they work away
\nAnd try to build an industry
\nHow crazy, bold, and reckless
\nCan human beings be?
\n
\n[TEDDY ASCH, spoken]
\nGood afternoon, ladies and gentleman
\nAnd welcome to the premier showing of Apex Modes Inc
\nOur collection is designed to make you dream
\nWhether you're seeing our creations or wearing them
\nFirst on our stage, the lovely Vera, wearing 104
\nBasics come, and basics go, right?
\nWell, here is a basic that is not going anywhere
\nBecause basically, it's sensational
\nLadies and gentleman, at 49.95, this is the biggest bargain on 7th Avenue
\nAnd now, make way for Janet in one of our most elegant creations
\nNumber 629
\nWhich you'll be seeing in the next issue of
\nWell, I promised Vogue I wouldn't tell
\nLadies and gentleman, that's number 629
\nAnd now, our proudest moment
\nThe number that represents for us the meeting of the world's two greatest streets
\nBroadway and 7th Avenue
\nHere she is, direct from the Great White Way
\nWearing Apex's number 777
\nWrapped in Martha's pink
\nMiss Martha Mills\n\n
