Original Broadway Cast of “Crazy for You”
Nice Work If You Can Get It
[BOBBY, spoken]
Polly...

[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is
The only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love, you won't regret it
That's the best work of all if you can get it
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky

[BOBBY, sung]
Oh that is nice work if you can get it

[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh

[BOBBY, sung]
Oh, nice work if you can get it
[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someonе
Waiting at the cottage door

[ELAINE, LOUISE, & SUSIE, sung]
Waiting at the cottagе door

[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
Where two hearts become one

[FOLLIES GIRLS & BOBBY, sung]
Who could ask for anything more?

[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow

[FOLLIES GIRLS & BOBBY, sung]
Nice work if you can get it

[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
And if you get it

[BOBBY, sung]
Won't you tell me how?
[FOLLIES GIRLS, sung]
And you can get it if you try
And you can get it if you try
And you can get it if you try
And you can get it if you try

[BOBBY, sung]
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Who could ask for anything more?
