Nick and Fanny meet up in Baltimore where
Fanny is on a tour with Ziegfeld´s latest show.
They have dinner at a private dining room.
Fanny is annoyed that Nick hasn´t been in
touch for ten months. Nick orders, mainly
in French, which Fanny doesn´t understand.
Fanny is uneasy that Nick might make
advances in such an intimate room.
[Nick:]
You are woman, I am man,
You are smaller, so I can be taller than,
You are softer to the touch,
It´s a feeling I like feeling very much.
You are someone I´ve admired,
Still, our friendship
Leaves something to be desired.
Does it take more explanation than this?
You are woman, I am man--
Let´s kiss.
[Fanny:]
Isn´t this the height of nonchalance,
Furnishing a bed in restaurants?
Well, a bit of dinner never hurt,
But guess who is gonna be dessert?
Do good girls do just what mama says,
When mama´s not around?
It´s a feeling,
Oy vey, what a feeling.
[Nick:]
A bit of pate?
[Fanny:]
I drink it all day.
Should I do the things he´ll tell me to?
In this pickle what would Nellie do?
In my soul I feel an inner lack,
Just suppose he wants his dinner back?
[Both:]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[Fanny:]
Just some dried-out toast in a sliver,
On the top a little chopped liver.
How many girls become a sinner
While waiting for a roast beef dinner?
Though most girls slip in ordinary ways
I got style--I do it bordelaise.
Well, at least he thinks I´m special
--He ordered a la carte.
It´s a feeling I like feeling very...
I feel the feeling down to my toes.
Now I feel that there´s a fire here,
Try that once a little higher, dear,
What a beast to ruin such a pearl,
Would a convent take a Jewish girl?
[Both:]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[Fanny:]
Ooo, the thrills and chills goin´ through me,
If I stop him now,
Can he sue me?
[Nick:]
You are woman...
[Fanny:]
You are man...
[Both:]
Let´s kiss!
