South Pacific movie - Twin Soliloquies lyrics

rate me

<br>

Nellie:<br>

Wonder how I'd feel<br>

Livin' on a hillside,<br>

Lookin' on an ocean,<br>

Beautiful and still.<br>

<br>

Emile:<br>

This is what I need,<br>

This is what I've longed for.<br>

Someone young and smilin'<br>

Climbin' up my hill!<br>

<br>

Nellie:<br>

We are not alike.<br>

Probably I'd bore him.<br>

He's a cultured Frenchman,<br>

I'm a little hick.<br>

<br>

Emile:<br>

Younger man than I,<br>

Officers and doctors.<br>

Probably pursue her,<br>

She could have her pick.<br>

<br>

Nellie:<br>

Wonder why I feel<br>

Jittery and jumpy!<br>

I'm like a school girl<br>

Waitin' for a dance.<br>

<br>

Emile:<br>

Can I ask her now?<br>

I'm like a school boy!<br>

What will be her answer?<br>

Do I have a chance?<br>

<br>
