A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody
[MOLLY]
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day
Just like the strain of a haunting refrain
She'll start upon a marathon and run around your brain
You can't escape, she's in your memory
By morning, night and noon
She will leave you and then come back again
A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune
[TERENCE]
A pretty girl
[MOLLY]
La ta da ta da de da
[TERENCE]
Is like a melody
[MOLLY]
La ta da ta da de da
[TERENCE]
That haunts you night and day
[MOLLY]
They go together like sunny weather
Goes with the month of May
[TERENCE]
Just like the strain
[MOLLY]
La la la la la...
[Sits down on the table and falls from it. The audience laughs.]
[TERENCE]
Of a haunting refrain
She'll start upon a marathon and run around your brain
[MOLLY]
You can't escape, no, no, no, no, n...
[Falls from the table again. The audience laughs.]
[TERENCE]
She's in your memory
[MOLLY]
In your memory by morning, night and noon
She will leave you and then
[TERENCE]
Come back again
[MOLLY & TERENCE]
A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune
