I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here
[Grace]
Cecile will pick out all your clothes
[CECILE, spoken]
Blue is her best color, no red I think
[Grace]
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer
[Mrs. Greer, spoken]
Soap? No, bubbles, I think
[Grace]
Annette comes in to make your bed
[Annette, spoken]
The silk? No the satin sheets, I think
[Annie]
I think I'm gonna like it here!
[Grace]
The swimming pool is down the stairs
[Annie, spoken]
Inside the house? Oh boy!
[Grace]
The tennis court is in the rear
[Annie, spoken]
I never even picked up a racket
[Grace]
What?
Have an instructor here at noon
[Grace, spoken]
Oh, and get that Don Budge fellow if he's available
[Annie]
I think I'm gonna like it here
[Mrs. Pugh]
When you wake, ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray
[Drake]
When you're through Mrs. Pugh
Comes and takes it away
[Mrs. Pugh]
Annie
Annie
[Grace & All]
No need to pick up any toys
[Grace]
No finger will you lift my dear
[All]
We have but one request
Please put us to the test
[Annie]
I know I'm gonna like it here
Used to room in a tomb
There I'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me please!
[Grace]
We've never had a little girl
[All]
We've never had a little girl
We've never had a little girl
[Annie]
I'm very, very, very glad to volunteer
[Grace]
I'm glad she's glad to volunteer
[Grace & All]
We hope you understand
Your wish is our command
[Annie, Grace with All, & Everyone]
I know I'm (We know you're) gonna like it here
