Where’s My Shoe?
[AMALIA, spoken]
So you've come to see if I'm really sick, is that it?
[GEORG, spoken]
No, no
[AMALIA, spoken]
So you can tell everyone there's not a thing wrong with me
[GEORG, spoken]
No no no, I-
[AMALIA, spoken]
That I just don't care about my job
[GEORG, spoken]
No I-
[AMALIA, spoken]
Well Mr. Novack you're not gonna have that chance. What time is it?
[GEORG, spoken]
What?
[AMALIA, spoken]
I won't be very late
(sung)
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
Whеre's my shoe?
[GEORG]
Pleasе Miss Balash, lie down
[AMALIA]
I hate to disappoint you
Now that you've got your hopes up
Thrilled to be doing something mean
[GEORG]
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 f it 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
