First there was...
Harmony
Unforgettable

Harmony
Harmony
[RABBI]
Did we have
[RABBI & HARMONISTS]
Harmony
[RABBI]
But that's just about all we had!
[HARMONISTS]
Ah, ooh...
[RABBI]
Suddenly, a little
[RABBI & HARMONISTS]
Harmony
[RABBI]
And the poverty's not so bad
[HARMONISTS]
Ah, ah...
[RABBI]
Thin, we were
[RABBI & HARMONISTS]
Poor as sin in Berlin, we were!
Patches on our pants
[HARMONISTS]
But we had
[RABBI]
Mercif'lly, when you're in
[RABBI & HARMONISTS]
Harmony
[RABBI]
You're in a trance
[HARMONISTS]
Ooh, ooh, ah...
[RABBI]
Others went marching
[HARMONISTS]
Ta-rum-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
[RABBI]
Not us, we'd dance
Believe it or not I was a rabbi before all this started!
Can your rabbi do that?
[HARMONISTS]
Then did we
Oh, so splendidly blend, did we
Like a spell had come
It was clear
That all of us could hear
A different

[HARMONISTS]
In this joint
All encounters with counterpoint
End in harmony (Counterpoint in harmony)
And it's clear
No man's a solo here
Not even
[BOBBY]

[HARMONISTS]
No solo mio!
No, we've got harmony!
If we've got harmony
Then just maybe we've got a chance
Oh harmony, the best is harmony!
And the rest is a song and dance!
Where you find
You're in harmony
There you find
Shelter in a storm
Every note
A button on the coat
That keeps you warm
[YOUNG RABBI]
Stars have the heavens
[HARMONISTS]
But we've got harmony!
(Oh we got harmony)
Harmony!
(Oh yes we sing in harmony)
Harmony!
Harmony!
Harmony!
Harmony!
That troubles disappear
And what you feel is what you hear
Not what you see!
[RABBI]
Yes, first there was
[RABBI & HARMONISTS]
Harmony!
