Can’t You See It
[JOE]
Can't you see it?
It's clear as it can be
It makes a sunny beam of light
That seems to follow me
Can't you hear it?
Sopranos everywhere
A chorus of the choicest voices
Singing in the air
It makes the soot
Underfoot
Flash like diamonds
And every cop
Dances by like Fred Astaire
Can't you see it?
It's blazed across the sky!
If you can see it
You're as happy as I
[Dance break]
[JOE]
Can't you see it?
It's pleasanter than spring
It's what the humble peasant felt
The day they made him king
It makes the fumes
From the bus
Smell so clean
And every bum
On a bench
Sings like Dean
Can't you see it?
It makes the buildings fly
If you can see it
Then you're as happy as I
If you can see it
You're as happy as I
