Låttexter: Soundtrack Artists. Rare Songbirds On Display.
Daisy & Violet:
We're singing sweet bird songs of love
As we float and flutter above
And each little sparrow and dove
Wants to play
Our love songs are music for mating
But these little lovebirds are waiting
Will someone find us captivating prey?
Daisy, Violet, Company:
Till that day
They're songbirds on display
Company:
Two birds in flight
Delighting far above the fray
They're winging
They're singing
They're bringing melodies our way
Ah - what a feather spray
Rare songbirds on display
Buddy:
Good show, you two!
Violet:
Remember when the compliments came with kisses?
Daisy:
Not anymore
People might talk
Violet:
Imagine what they'd say
Buddy:
That's not fair
The tabloids keep trying to link you to us
Why add fuel to the fire?
Daisy:
Why not?
They write whatever they want
Violet:
God forbid they should mention you in connection with us
Buddy:
Violet, nothing makes me prouder than working with you
And you know it
Violet:
Sometimes I do
Jake:
Let's get cracking, you two
We're gonna be late for the party
Buddy:
What an exciting night
New York's society coming to meet you
Daisy:
I can't wait
Violet:
I can
Daisy:
Being the toast of the town
Is such a hardship for her
Violet:
People point and stare
Buddy:
But this crowd does it with flair
Daisy:
And we've got beautiful gowns to wear
Jake:
Wait till you see them
Take it from a cannibal
Good enough to eat
Violet:
You're very sweet
But stop fussing over me
Daisy:
We want you to have fun
Buddy:
I'll see to that
Jake:
So will I
Violet:
All right, I'll try
Buddy:
That's all we ask.
Now hurry up and change, you two
Daisy and Violet leave to get ready for the party...
Buddy:
Does Violet seem unhappy to you?
Jake:
Maybe so
Buddy:
Do you know why?
Jake:
Maybe so
Buddy:
You know I'd do anything to help her
Jake:
Only guessing
But remember when remember when you first met the girls?
And they told you their dreams?
Buddy:
Like it was yesterday
Jake:
Well, Daisy's dream has come true
They're famous now
Buddy:
But Violet doesn't have a husband
Jake:
She could
Buddy:
Of course
She's a wonderful woman
But she is a Siamese twin
Jake:
That wouldn't matter to me
Buddy:
To you?
Jake:
I mean, it wouldn't matter to someone who loved her
Terry:
Well, gentlemen, if you had any doubts,
tonight is proof that we have arrived.
Buddy:
We're dressed for the occasion.
Jake:
Not bad for some bums from the sideshow.
Buddy:
Speak for yourself.
Terry:
And I am so confident about our future,
that I have resigned from the Orpheum Circuit.
Buddy:
You're kidding.
Terry:
I can't stand to be away from our girls.
