On the Twentieth Century the Musical - Five Zeros Lyrics

OWEN & OLIVER
One two three four five
One two three four five
Five zeros, preceded by a two,
Preceded by a dollar sign
Is too, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Wonderful for words.
Hello old friend,
Hello mister money.
YouТve been away so long,
Pull up a chair, put up your feet.
Hello old friend,
We've missed you Mister Money,
So stick around,
Don't leave us,
Cause when you are here we eat!

MRS. PRIMROSE
(spoken) Ah yes. One more zero...

OWEN & OLIVER
Five zeros preceded by a two,

OWEN
Preceded by a dollar sign is

OLIVER & OWEN
Too, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wonderful for words!

MRS PRIMROSE
Five zeros, preceded by a two
Is just the merest bagatelle,
ThereТs so oh, oh, oh, oh, oh much more I can do.
My newfound friends,
why what good is money?
Except to bring salvation
to this sorry vale of tears?

OSCAR
My newfound friend,
I'll take your sacred money
And soon you'll share the glory
when the theatre bursts with cheers!

OSCAR, OLIVER, OWEN, MRS. PRIMROSE
Hello old friend,
Hello Mister Broadway,
You ainТt seen nothing yet,
WeТre gonna tear this town apart.
Hello old friend,
We're bringing back to Broadway,
An Oscar Jaffee classic that's commercial
Yet itТs art!
Five zeros, preceded by a two,
Preceded by a dollar sign is
Too oh, oh, oh, oh, oh wonderful for words!
