Leonard Bernstein
Gabey’s Comin’ / Pickup Song
[OZZIE & CHIP]
Gabey's comin'
Gabey's comin' to town!
He's on the town!
With a day to burn
You're gonna turn
New York City upside down!
[OZZIE, CHIP & GABEY]
Gabey's comin' to town!
[OZZIE, spoken]
Here's the way you do it!
(sung)
Hello, baby, gosh, you're pretty
I'm so tall and strong and witty
God's great gift to New York City
How's about a date tonight?
[CHIP]
When a guy is feeling tender
He don't want no solo bender
What he craves is sweet surrender
How's about a date tonight?
[GIRLS]
Date tonight? Date tonight? Love it!
Gabey's comin'
Gabey's comin' to town!
He's on the town!
Gonna brush my teeth
Down underneath
Slip into my sheerest gown
Gabey's comin' to town!
[OZZIE]
Hello, babe, you look delicious
You're the answer to my wishes
Let's start buying breakfast dishes
How's about a date tonight?
[CHIP]
Aren't we having lovely weather?
We're two birdies of a feather
We could make such tunes together
How's about a date tonight?
[GIRLS]
Date tonight? Date tonight? Love it!
Gabey's comin'
Gabey's comin' to town!
He's on the town!
Gonna take a dive
In Chanel Five
For that lover
[GABEY & GIRLS]
For that lover
[GABEY, CHIP & GIRLS]
For that lover
[GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE & GIRLS]
Of renown!
Gabey's comin' to town!
Gabey's comin' to town!
Gabey's comin' to town!
