Happy Endings / Let’s Hear it for Me lyrics

[GORDON KENDRICK, spoken]
Frankie! Come to the opening night party with me and my guests!
We'll stay out all night, watch the newspapers with the reviews get loaded onto the trucks, then watch the line form at the box office

[GORDON KENDRICK, sung]
Happy endings, all around you
Happy endings, all I see are
Happy endings on a Broadway stage

[FRANCINE, spoken]
I only have one line —

[GORDON KENDRICK, spoken]
You'll be down front soon enough, picture this:

[GORDON KENDRICK, sung]
Lovely lady, gallant fellow
Meet one evening, hear that cello!
Let the passion rage, but on that final pagе
Count on a happy ending
Making music, happy ending
Making money
Happy еnding in a Broadway show

[GORDON KENDRICK, spoken]
Someday, everyone will be cheering for you
[STAGE HAND]
Places for the finale!

[GORDON KENDRICK, spoken]
Don't worry! I'll find you later tonight, yes?

[FRANCINE, SPOKEN]
There's a gentleman at the door, he says he's your brother

[COMPANY, spoken]
Your brother?!

[COMPANY]
Happy endings, all around me
Happy endings, all I see are
Happy endings on a Broadway stage, ooh!
Lovely lady, gallant fellow
Meet one evening, hear that cello!
Let the passion rage, but on that final page
Count on a happy ending
By a river, happy endings
On a mountain, happy endings
In a Broadway show, ooh!

Cheering for me now
Cheering for me now
Cheering for me now
[FRANCINE]
Blow the bugle, sound the cymbal
All my troubles fill a thimble
I'm as happy as it's legal to be
Come on folks, let's hear it for me!
Give the downbeat, start the drumming
Cue the chorus, keep 'em humming
'Cause I'm climbing to the top of that tree
Come on folks, let's hear it for me!
For this overwhelming sensation
I could stand a standing ovation
Give my entrance cue to the band
And give the little lady a great big hand

Slide the trombone, let it swell out
This performance is a sell out
And the critics and the public agree
I'm the number one attraction to see
So applaud it and cheer it
Come on now, let's hear it for me!

[COMPANY]
Happy endings
Happy endings
In a Broadway show!
[FRANCINE]
Grab a ticket, find your row now
Feel the house lights start to go now
Tell those maddening distractions to flee
They've been banished by a royal decree
And your head feels so good
When you finally clear it
If I saw a worry, I wouldn't go near it
Come on now, come on kid
Let's hear it
Let's hear it for me!
