Where’s My Shoe?
[AMALIA, spoken]
You've come to see if I'm really sick, is that it? So you can tell everyone there's not a thing wrong with me, that I just don't care about my job. Well Mr. Novack you're not gonna have that chance. What time is it? I won't be very late

[GEORG, spoken]
Miss Balish you're sick, you ought to be in bed

[AMALIA]
Where's my other shoe, help me find my other shoe
Don't just stand there like that where's my shoe?

[GEORG]
I think you should lie down

[AMALIA]
Help me find my other shoe
I can't leave until I do
Will you give me my hat
Where's my shoe?

[GEORG]
Please Miss Balash, lie down

[AMALIA]
I hate to disappoint you
Now that you've got your hopes up
Thrilled to be doing something mean
[GOERG]
Miss Balash do be sensible

[AMALIA]
Just tell me if it's cold out
Come help me pick a sweater
I can't decide on white or green

[GEORG]
Now Miss Balash you're sick and you ought to lie down

[AMALIA]
Where'd you put my shoe?
That's a sneaky thing to do
You don't want me to go do you?
I can see right through you
Where's my shoe?

[GEORG]
You shouldn't be on your feet

[AMALIA]
Where's my shoe?

[GEORG]
Be a good girl and go
[GEORG / AMALIA]
Back to / My right

[AMALIA]
If I were a shoe, where would I have gotten to?
Well, if I were a shoe I'd be there

[GEORG]
Please Miss Balash lie down

[AMALIA]
Is it very cold? Yes, you told me it was cold
Tell me what kind of dress should I wear?

[GEORG]
You have fever I think

[AMALIA]
I couldn't wear a sweater
That wouldn't suit my mood now
I feel like wearing
Something gay

[GEORG]
Miss Balash, you're hysterical
[AMALIA]
I'm feeling so much better
I feel so gay and giddy
One shoe and I'll be on my way

[GEORG]
You are going to bed which is where you belong

[AMALIA]
Hahahaha see? There is nothing wrong with me
I am going you can't stop me
Stop it now please drop me

Put me down

[GEORG]
No, you're not leaving this room

[AMALIA]
Where's my shoe?

[GEORG]
You're going nowhere but

[GEORG / AMALIA]
Back to bed / My right shoe
