Frederick Loewe
It’s A Bore
[HONORE]
Look at all the captivity
Fascinating things there are to do
[GASTON]
Name two
[HONORE]
Look at all the pleasures
All the myriad of treasures
We have got
[GASTON]
Like what?
[HONORE]
Like Paris in the spring
When each solitary thing
Is more beautiful than ever before
You can hear every tree
Almost saying, "Look at me!"
[GASTON]
What color are the trees?
[HONORE]
Green!
[GASTON]
What color were they last year?
[HONORE]
Green!
[GASTON]
And next year?
[HONORE]
Green!
[GASTON]
It's a bore
[HONORE]
Don't you marvel at the power
Of the mighty Eiffel Towеr
Knowing there it will remain еverymore?
Climbing up to the sky
Over 90 stories high
[GASTON]
How many stories?
[HONORE]
Ninety!
[GASTON]
How many yesterday?
[HONORE]
Ninety!
[GASTON]
And tomorrow?
[HONORE]
Ninety!
[GASTON]
It's a bore
[HONORE]
The river Seine!
[GASTON]
All it can do is flow
[HONORE]
Think of wine!
[GASTON]
It's red or white
[HONORE]
Think of girls!
[GASTON]
It's either yes or no
And if it's no or if it's yes
It simply couldn't matter less
[HONORE]
But think of a race
With your horse in seventh place
Then he suddenly begins
And he catches up and wins
With a roar
[GASTON]
It's a bore!
[HONORE]
Life is thrilling as can be
[GASTON]
Simply not my cup of tea
[HONORE]
It's a year-romantic fling
[GASTON]
If you like that sort of thing
[HONORE]
It's intriguing
[GASTON]
It's fatiguing
[HONORE]
It's a game
[GASTON]
It's the same
The world wherever you go
Whatever place your hat
The earth is round
But everything on it is flat
[HONORE]
Don't tell me Venice has no lure
[GASTON]
Just a town without a sewer
[HONORE]
The Leaning Tower I adore
[GASTON]
Indecision is a bore
[HONORE]
But think of the thrill
Of a bullfight in Seville
When the bull is uncontrolled
And he charges at a bull matador
[GASTON]
It's a bore
[HONORE]
Think of lunch beneath the trees
[GASTON]
Stop the carriage, if you please
[HONORE]
You mean you don't want to come?
[GASTON]
The thought of lunch leaves me numb
[HONORE]
But I implore
[GASTON]
Oh no, Uncle, it's a bore
