Fanny and Nick steal a private moment
at the party and discover they are both
a little lonely. Fanny sings:

We travel single-oh
Maybe we´re lucky, but I don´t know--
With them,
Just let one kid fall down
And seven mothers faint.
I guess we´re both happy, but maybe--
We ain´t.
People--people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world,
We´re children, needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside,
Acting more like children
Than children.

Lovers are very special people,
They´re the luckiest people
In the world.
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half,
Now you´re whole.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
Who needs people.
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world!

Nick has to leave the party early because
he´s going to Kentucky the next day but
promises to call Fanny when he returns
to New York.
