Girl Meets Boy 歌詞

 

JOE:

Girl meets boy

 

That's a safe beginning

 

BETTY:

It's nearly closing

I thought you weren't going to show

 

JOE:

So did I

 

I felt it might be kinder

 

BETTY:

What are you saying

JOE:

Come on Miss Schaefer you know

BETTY:

What

JOE:

Every time I see some young kid

 

Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece

I just want to throw them on the next train home

BETTY:

Never thought

 

You'd be so condescending

 

JOE:

Sorry Miss Schaefer

 

I didn't come here to fight

 

BETTY:

Girl meets boy

If that's how you want it

 

She's a young teacher

 

He's a reporter

It's hate at first sight

JOE:

 

It won't sell

 

These days they want glamour

 

Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel

 

The problem is

 

She thinks he's a burglar

 

Would you believe it

 

A wedding in the last reel

BETTY:

It doesn't have to be so mindless

 

You should write from your experience

Give us something really moving

Something true

 

JOE:

Who wants true

Who the hell wants moving

 

Moving means starving

 

And true means holes in your shoe

 

BETTY:

No you're wrong

 

They still make good pictures

 

Stick to your story

 

It's a good story

 

JOE:

O K Miss Schaefer

 

I give it to you

 

BETTY:

What do you mean

JOE:

Just what I said I've given up writing myself So you write it

 

BETTY:

Oh I'm not good enough to do it on my own

But I thought we could write it together

 

JOE:

I can't I'm all tied up

BETTY:

Couldn't we work evenings Six o'clock in the morning

I'd come to your place

JOE:

Look Betty it can't be done It's out

 

Look let's keep in touch through Artie

That way if you get stuck we can at least talk

 

Write this down

 

I'll give you some ground rules

 

Plenty of conflict

 

But nice guys don't break the law

 

Girl meets boy

She gives herself completely

 

And though she loves him

JOE &BETTY:

She keeps one foot on the floor

 

BETTY:

No one dies except the best friend

 

No one ever mentions communists

 

No one takes a black friend to a restaurant

 

JOE:

Very good

 

Nothing I can teach you

 

We could have had fun

 

Fighting the studio

 

BETTY:

Yes Mr Gillis

That's just what I want

ARTIE:

What a nightmare

Good to see you

Come to my new year's party

JOE:

Last year it got out of hand

ARTIE:

Guaranteed bad behaviour

JOE:

See you then

BETTY:

Don't give up

You're too good

 

JOE:

 

Thanks
