Verse 1
Miss Waitress (F major) from Flatbush,
get (D minor) down from up there.
(F major) Don't you know that
you're out of your class? (Daug)
Miss (G major) Waitress from Flatbush,
I hope you're aware.
You're be (C major) having like
(G major) some little as (C major) s. (D major)
Hey, (A minor) Miss. (C major) (A minor) What's this? (Daug)
See (G major) that fascinating creature
with per (E minor) fection stamped
on every (G major) feature.

(C major) the kid from (D major) the deli.
(B minor) But mother of (G major) God,
(E flat major) look (A minor) what happened to Ma (D major) bel.
From (G major) now on, this pile of flesh

and Mis (A minor) s BLT Down
(D major) is the toast of the town.
(B minor) Mary (G major) and Joseph (E flat major) ,

Every (F sharp major) gesture and position that she takes (B minor)
is smart and meticulous.

look what (A minor) happened on May (D major) ball!
(G major) Yesterday, a tip collector,
but today, (E minor) just turn (G major) on that (E major) projector
and Mis (A minor) s Aven (C major) ue R (D major)
is a regular (A minor) star. (D major)
Holy (G major) mother, (Gaug) McCree,
(B flat major) look what (Adim) happened to Ma (D major) bel.
(F sharp major) Up to now, I never really knew
that (B minor) I could be so ambitious.
But sud (E minor) denly,
(E major) I know I have to say good (A minor) bye
to ba (D major) gels and panishes. (C major) (B major)
(D major) I (G major) know that you might think I'm balmy,
but the (E minor) queen of corned beef and salami (E major)
is a (A minor) glamorous (D major) goddess
(A minor) who's (D major) bus (Bdim) ted our bodice.
(E major) Oh, (A major) jump in, St. Jude! (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(D major) Look what happened to (G major) Ma (F major) bel! (E major) (E flat major)
(D major) (G major)
That song is,
course, by Jerry Herman
from his show Mack and Mabel.
I spoke to Jerry just a few weeks ago
because I wanted to talk
to him about Irving Berlin.
I'd heard that Irving Berlin
had played a big role in his career in his development and he said
yes that's true that he felt and still feels that Irving Berlin
is his mentor when he was just
a very very young man
he went to see Annie Get Your Gun
for the first time
he feels that that Berlin's music
is so available
so so pure and so simple in the right way
that he was able that night
to come home after the show
and never having heard these songs before
to sit down at the piano
and he played three of them
from memory
and he said to himself
that was the moment.
At that moment I said to myself
this is what I want to do.
So this first song is by Irving Berlin
and the second is
