Bathing Beauty
Ladies and gentlemen
Mr. Y is pleased to present to you
His final surprise of the season
A command performance by Christine Daaé
The most heavenly diva of this or any age
But first, for those of you
Whose taste is a little more earthbound
The sweetheart of the midway
The Ooh La La Girl
The incomparable... Meg Giry!
MEG:
I took a little trip to Coney Island
To get away from all the city sprawl
I couldn't bear to choose which bathing suit to use
So, goodness me, I guess I brought 'em all
But when at last I got to Coney Island
And found myself a spot upon the sand
I noticed something strange
There was no place to change
GIRLS:
Uh oh!
MEG:
And so I asked my friends to lend a hand
Girls?
GIRLS:
Aah, ooh!
Bathing beauty
Take a look at you
Bathing beauty on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello!
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go
Posing under her parasol
She is what you call a real spectacle
Prim and proper with class of poise
But she's got the boys at the plaque to call
Bathing beauty on the beach
See her practically glow!
Wearin' a smile and hittin' Coney Island
Bathing beaut of a show
Bathing beauty on the beach
MEG:
Stripes!
GIRLS:
Ooh!
What a cutie, what a peach!
MEG:
Spots!
GIRLS:
Ooh!
Bathing beauty, bathing beauty
MEG:
Checks! Checks!
GIRLS:
Checks, checks, checks, checks!
MEG:
Oops!
GIRLS:
Bathing beauty on the beach
See her practically glow
Takin' the sun in 'till all the boys are runnin'
Go and unclothe her and get a tan all over
Wearing a smile and hittin' Coney Island
The bathing beaut of our show
Bathing beauty, say -
MEG:
Hello!
