New York, New York movie - Happy Endings lyrics
rate me<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Happy endings all around me<br>
Happy endings all I see are <br>
Happy endings on a silver screen<br>
That's Hollywood!<br>
Lovely lady<br>
Gallant fellow<br>
Meet one evening hear that cello<br>
Troubles come between<br>
But in that final scene<br>
Count on a happy ending by a river<br>
Happy ending on a mountain<br>
Happy ending in a Broadway show<br>
But oh-<br>
The life I lead is less dramatic<br>
Not remotely cinematic<br>
Happy endings far as I can see<br>
Are only for the stars <br>
Not in the stars for me<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Pst! Pst!<br>
Pardon me, miss,<br>
I've a problem<br>
Then I wonder could you help me<br>
Lost my glove and I could use your light<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Right!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
I was leaving, <br>
It's so silly,<br>
But I think I must have dropped it<br>
All at once it seemed to disappear--<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Here!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Gee, I'm grateful<br>
And I'd like to show you my appreciation<br>
Maybe take you out to dinner--<br>
<br>
SOMEBODY:<br>
SSSH!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
When do you get off?<br>
I can wait.<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Oh no, I coundn't possibly--<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
I can wait.<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Oh well I, I don't do thats.<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
I can wait<br>
<br>
SOMEBODY:<br>
SSSH!<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
No, I-I--<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
I can wait<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
EIGHT!<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?<br>
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
You sing here?<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Sometimes, after work<br>
Relieves the stress<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
But you've got stress?<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Yes, I guess!<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight!<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
When Mister Right comes along<br>
Ev'ry melody that sound is so wrong<br>
We'll be blended in a beautiful song<br>
When Mister Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght--<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Ma, she's wonderful!<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Comes along!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
You're terrific, just amazing <br>
What a talent, it's astounding,<br>
You should be star in a Broadway show--<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Yes, I know,<br>
But got tired, tired of waiting<br>
Tired of hacking those auditions<br>
It's started starving<br>
So I think it what's the use--<br>
By the way what do you do?<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
You won't believe it.<br>
<br>
SHE:<br>
Try me!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
I produce.<br>
<br>
[TINKLE]<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
I am feeling aces high<br>
And it's because of you that <br>
I am feeling aces high<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
Aces high<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
We're a King and a Queen in the heavens<br>
No longer at sixes and sevens<br>
But eights!<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
Now that she's found out<br>
She's finally his<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Say!<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
She is the happiest, happiest lady there is.<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
ACES HI-I-I-I-I-I-GH<br>
<br>
CHORUS:<br>
OH OH OH OH<br>
Aces High!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Now it's happened,<br>
Now you've made it,<br>
By tomorrow you'll be famous--<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Famous...<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
You'll discover all New York is at your feet--<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
My feet!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
You'll have a brilliant career<br>
Think champagne instead of pretzels and beer--<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
And you'll be with me ev'rywhere I appear--<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
NO!<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
No?<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
No, I've done ev'rything for you I could possibly do.<br>
You don't need me anymore. And if I stayed, why I'd <br>
be Mister Peggy Smith? I fear, I couldn't bear that--<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
But--<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Goodbye, my dear...<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Donald!<br>

M.C.:<br>
Our Guest of Honor is Broadway's dearest and most <br>
luminous light, in her own time a legend, a myth,<br>
Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Peggy Smith.<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
What a night I won't forget. I'm just a theater usherette<br>
and who'd have dreamed that someday this would all come<br>
true? Would you? But there's a man, one certain man, who<br>
helped me when it all began, and he's the one who really own<br>
this honor tonight...but he is not here...<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Peggy!<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
I wish he were here!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Peggy!<br>
<br>
Peggy!<br>
I can't believe it!<br>
<br>
HE:<br>
Peggy!<br>
Peggy!<br>
PEGGY!<br>

PEGGY:<br>
Now my life is like a beautiful song,<br>
My Mister Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i--<br>
Are only for the stars hmm-hmm-hmm<br>
Not in the stars for me.<br>
<br>
DONALD:<br>
Pst! Pst!<br>
Pardon me, miss,<br>
I've a problem,<br>
And I wonder<br>
Could you help me<br>
Lost my glove and <br>
I could use your light?<br>
<br>
PEGGY:<br>
Right! <br>
Uh, yeah! <br>
Well, I guess you're a big Broadway producer, uh!<br>
<br>
DONALD:<br>
As a matter of fact I am, how did you know that?<br>
<br>
