    • Verse 1
    You know, I've 
    been watching you from the wings. 


    And what did I tell 
    you? 

    I know 
    that 
    you go very 
    far. 

    Why, you could 
    really be 
    a star. 

    If you'll 
    just put yourself 
    in my 

    hand
    s. 

    What's the matter, 
    Soph? 

    What's the matter? 

    Girls, 
    you've been wonderful. 

    But you must 
    be very tired. 

    Just 
    a minute. 

    You may 
    leave now. 

    You 
    may leave 
    now. 

    But Soph! 
    You 
    may leave. 

    Soph! 
    Soph! Tell 
    me, Soph. 

    What's the idea? 

    Well, 
    Jimmy 
    Durante, I'm 
    tired 
    of you 
    flaunt

    ing these beautiful 
    girls in front 
    of my face. 

    I've watched you 

    all during rehearsals 

    and I'm 
    just tired of 
    it, 
    that's all. 

    Well, I did
    n't think you 

    cared. 

    Well, now you know 
    it. 

    I 
    tried 
    to keep it a 
    secret for years. 

    I'm 
    sorry. 

    But don't 
    be 
    sorry. 

    I feel 
    the same way about 
    you. 

    Now 
    the 
    first time I 
    went out with Lana, 


    boy, it was 
    kicks. 

    And how Rita 
    melted 

    when she 
    saw my bag 
    of tricks. 

    You 
    all know about 
    Mar
    garet Truman, 

    Swanson, 

    and the 
    rest. 

    They 
    tried to break 
    my heart, 

    but they 
    wound up second 
    best. 

    Why, the 
    Marquis de 
    Pillsbury 

    tried to get 
    me in his clutches. 

    I'm 
    glad I play 
    the field, 

    for 
    now I'd 
    be some duke's 

    old duchess. 

    You know, 

    if you 
    travel 
    long enough 
    on any 
    road, 

    you'll 
    find it's 
    true that 
    some

    where it 
    has an ending. 

    And, Jimmy, 
    my trail 
    ends 
    with you. 

    Why, 
    you and 
    me, 
    yes, I 
    agree, 

    would 
    you give 
    up that 
    millionaire 
    oil 
    man 

    if 
    I told 
    you that you 
    could have me? 

    If you're 
    really sincere, 

    oh, my 
    darling, my 
    dear, 

    I'm as ready 
    as I'll ever be. 

    What about 
    these 
    cov

    er girls 

    that you have around 
    you? 

    Are you going to get rid of 

    them immediately? 

    Say 
    the word 
    and 
    you know 

    all the others 
    must go 

    Cause I'm as 
    ready as 
    I'll 
    ever be 

    When 
    the loves 
    of the century 

    are 
    written 

    Jimmy, 
    our names 
    will 
    be on top 

    Ah, 
    come here, Sophie, 
    please 

    Ah, 
    don't tease 

    Oh, 
    Jimmy, 
    after all 
    these years 

    This is the first 
    time you've ever 
    kissed me 

    I 
    wanted 
    you to know 

    that you haven't 
    lived in 
    vain 

    Call 
    Niagara 
    and 
    make reserva
    tions 

    Why, 
    you're gor
    geous, 

    you're so 
    heavenly 

    I 
    love 
    you, 
    Jimmy D 

    I 
    love you, 
    Sophie T 

    We're 
    as 
    ready 
    as 
    we'll ever 
    be 

    An
    d 
    I'm 
    the 
    last 

    of the 
    Red Hot 
    Mama 

    Yeah, 
    the kind of 
    daddy 

    who will 
    cool 
    you down 

    Now, 
    if you 
    mean it, 

    what 
    are you gonna do 
    about 
    it? 

    Well, 
    what am I going to 

    do 
    about 
    it? 

    We'll form 
    a merger. 
    Yes. 

    Instead 
    of a courtroom... 

    What? 
    We'll 
    use the 
    Club Dur

    ant. 
    Wonderful! 

    And instead 
    of 
    a judge... 

    Well? 
    Mr. 
    Eddie 
    Jack
    son! 
    boy! 

    Yeah! 


    Yeah! 
    do you 
    take this 
    woman 

    for 
    your 
    red 
    -hot mama? 

    I 
    do, 
    do, 
    do, do, 
    do, 
    do. Yeah! 

    And 
    do you 
    take this 
    man 

    to 
    be your 
    red -hot 
    papa? 

    I do, 
    do, 
    do, do, 
    do, 
    do. 

    Yeah, 
    and 
    will you 
    love him 

    when this man 
    no 
    longer 

    sings 
    the blues? 

    Will you 
    love him 

    when 
    he's worn 
    out 

    all 
    his 
    dancing 
    shoes? 

    I love 
    that man 

    when 
    he's down to 
    his last 

    trombone. 

    Uh -huh. 

    And 
    maybe, 

    maybe 
    we'll 
    have a swing 
    band 
    all our 
    own. 

    And from 
    now 
    on at 
    the Cover 
    Girls, 

    I'll never 
    weep
    . 

    I'll 
    cherish 
    you till 
    you're just 

    down 
    to your last 
    leap. 

    And forever 
    and 
    forever 

    we 
    will 
    keep 
    our love 
    alive. 

    And 
    I 
    now pronounce 
    you 

    Mr. 
    and Mrs. 
    Jive. 

    Oh, 
    Mr. 
    and Mrs. 
    Johnson! 

    Mr. 
    and Mrs. 
    Johnson! 

    Mr. 
    and Mrs. 
    Johnson! 

    What's 
    the 
    matter? 

    We haven't 
    gone on 
    our honeymoon 
    yet, 

    and 
    he's 
    taken over 
    the show! 

    That 
    does 
    it, 
    that does 
    it. 

    Come on, 

    let's get 
    on with the 
    cel
    ebration! 

    Yeah, 
    send us 
    presents 
    immediately! 

    We're 
    going 
    steady! 

    Thank 
    you, 
    Eddie!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
