Rain on the Roof / Ah, Paris! / Broadway Baby (Medley)

作曲 : Stephen Sondheim

作詞 : Stephen Sondheim

Listen to the rain on the roof go

Pit-pitty-pat, pit-pitty-pat-pitty

Sit, kitty cat, We won't get home for hours

Relax and Listen to the rain on the roof go

Plunk-planka-plink, Plunk-planka-plink-planka

Let's have a drink And shelter from the showers

Rain, rain, don't go away

Fill up the sky

Rain through the night

We'll stay cozy and dry

Listen to the rain on the roof go

Pit-pitty-pat-Plunk-a-plink-Plank

Pity that It's not a hurricane

Listen - plink - to the - Lovely rain

New York has neon, Berlin has bars

But ah! Paris!

Shanghai has silk and Madrid guitars

But ah! Paris!

In Cairo you find bizarre bazaars

In London - pip! pip! You sip tea

But when it comes to love

None of the above...

...Compares, Compris?

So if it's making love That you're thinking of

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

Paris!

I have seen the ruins of Rome

I've been in the igloos of Nome

I have gone to Moscow, It's very gay

Well, anyway, On the first of May!

I have seen Rangoon and Soho

And I like them more than so-so

But when there's a moon

Goodbye Rangoon

Hello, Montmartre

hello

Peking has rickshaws, New Orleans jazz

But ah! Paris!

Beirut has sunshine - that's all it has

But ah! Paris!

Constantinople has Turkish baths

And Athens that lovely debris

Carlsbad may have a spa, But for ooh-Ia-Ia

You come with me

Carlsbad is where you're cured After you have toured...

...Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

Paris!

I'm just a Broadway Baby

Walking off my tired feet

Pounding 42nd Street To be in a show

Broadway Baby

Learning how to sing and dance

Waiting for that one big chance To be in a show

Gee, I'd like to be On some marquee

All twinkling lights

A spark To pierce the dark

From Battery Park To Washington Heights

Some day, maybe, All my dreams will be repaid

Hell, I'd even play the maid To be in a show

Say, Mr Producer

I'm talking to you, sir

I don't need a lot

Only what I got

Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow-spot

I'm a Broadway Baby

Slaving at a five-and-ten

Dreaming of the great day when I'll be in a show

Broadway Baby

Making rounds all afternoon

Eating at a greasy spoon To save on my dough

At My tiny flat

There's just my cat, A bed and a chair

Still I'll stick it till

I'm on a bill All over Times Square

Broadway Baby, walking off my tired feet, Pounding 42nd Street To be in a show.../New York has neon, Berlin has bars, But ah! Paris! Shanghai Has silk and Madrid.../Listen to the rain on the roof go Pit-pitty-pat...

Working for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weismann

In a great big Broadway Show!
