South Pacific - Twin Soliloquies lyrics

rate me

Nellie:

Wonder how I'd feel

Livin' on a hillside,

Lookin' on an ocean,

Beautiful and still.

Emile:

This is what I need,

This is what I've longed for.

Someone young and smilin'

Climbin' up my hill!

Nellie:

We are not alike.

Probably I'd bore him.

He's a cultured Frenchman,

I'm a little hick.

Emile:

Younger man than I,

Officers and doctors.

Probably pursue her,

She could have her pick.

Nellie:

Wonder why I feel

Jittery and jumpy!

I'm like a school girl

Waitin' for a dance.

Emile:

Can I ask her now?

I'm like a school boy!

What will be her answer?

Do I have a chance?
