Generate meaning
1
Fanny waits for Eddie to come out of the theatre and
2
Tries to explain that she doesn't fit into the chorus
3
Because she's got star potential.
4
[Fanny:]
5
Listen,
6
I've got thirty-six expressions--
7
Sweet as pie to tough as leather,
8
And that's six expressions more
9
Than all them Barrymores put together.
10
Instead of just kicking me
11
Why don't they give me a lift?
12
It must be a plot,
13
'Cause they're scared that I got
14
Such a gift--well, I'm miffed--'cause
15
I'm the greatest star--
16
I am by far, but no one knows it!
17
Wait, they're gonna hear a voice,
18
A silver flute--ah hah, ah hah--
19
They'll cheer each toot
20
(Yay! She's terrific!)
21
When I expose it!
22
Now, can't you see to look at me
23
That I'm a nach'ral Camille?
24
As Camille I just feel
25
I've so much to offer.
26
Kid, I know I'd be divine because
27
I'm a nach'ral cougher.
28
(coughs)
29
Some ain't got it--not a lump,
30
I'm a great big clump of talent!
31
Laugh!
32
They'll bend in half.
33
(Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
34
A thousand jokes:
35
Stick around for the jokes,
36
A thousand faces.
37
I reiterate,
38
When you're gifted,
39
Then you're gifted,
40
These are facts--I got no axe to grind.
41
Hey, what are they--blind?
42
In all of the world so far
43
I'm the greatest star!
44
Who is the pip with piz-azz?
45
Who is all ginger and jazz?
46
Who is as glamorous as?
47
Who's an American Beauty rose
48
With an American Beauty nose,
49
And ten American Beaty toes,
50
Eyes on the target, and wham--
51
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
52
Hey, Mr. Ziegfeld, here I am!
53
I'm the greatest star,
54
I am by far,
55
But no one knows it!
56
That's why I was born--
57
I'll blow my horn
58
Till someone blows it!
59
I'll light up like a light
60
Right up like a light
61
I'll flicker, then flare up
62
All the world's gonna stare up
63
Lookin' down
64
You'll never see me--
65
Try the sky,
66
'Cause that'll be me.
67
I can make 'em cry,
68
I can make 'em sigh,
69
Someday they'll clamor
70
For my dram-er.
71
Have you guessed yet,
72
Who's the best yet?
73
If you ain't I'll tell you one more time.
74
You bet your last dime
75
In all of the world so far
76
I'm the greatest, greatest star!
