Original Off-Broadway Cast
Take My Advice and Live (”Dear Abby!”)
[Abby]
Life's full of glamour
And sparkle and zest
Take my advice and live!

[Chorus]
Hey, Abby!

[Abby]
Start blowing your bugle
And don't be depressed

[Chorus]
Abby!

[Abby]
Take my advice and live!

[Chorus]
Hey, look, there's Abby!

[Abby]
Watch me strut, 'cause I'm an old pro
I can't sing or dance, but I'm the star of the show!

[Chorus]
So while she's got it to give
Take her advice and live!

Start crashing the cymbals
And beating the band
Take her advice and live!

[Male Singers]
Let's start living!

[Chorus]
We're kicking our heels up
So give us a hand
Take her advice and live!

[Male Singers]
Live, live, live!

[Abby]
And if I should wander too far astray
My chorus boys'll come, and I'll get carried away!

[Chorus]
So while she's got it to give
Take her advice and
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live

[Abby]
Life is a star vehicle - and most poor suckers are in a bus and truck!

[Chorus]
Live!
