Allegro the Musical - Finale Lyrics
The song is written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
LANSDALE: (spoken)
Bigby Denby, M.D.! Physician!
Scientist! Humanitarian!
And better than all these...
An executive!
To use a phrase of his own,
Hе has been "a good soldier".
Bigby Denby has for years
ENSEMBLE:
Broccoli, hogwash, baldеrdash
Phoney baloney, tripe and trash
No one knows where his youth has gone
No one knows where his heart has gone
But the talk talk talk
Goes on and on
And on and on and on
Ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta...
DENBY: (spoken)
Mr. Chairman... trustees... friends...
The cup of my happiness runneth over!
My heart is so full - words fail me!
And yet-
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
The prattle and the tattle
The gab and the gush
The chatter and the patter
And the twaddle and the tush
Go on and on and on and on
Ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta...
DENBY: (spoken)
...My co-worker,
my young but very talented friend,
Joseph Taylor, Jr. -
The youngest man ever
to receive this appointment!
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Joseph Taylor, Jr
JOE: (spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen,
I look upon
this appointment as a challenge.
One must approach with deep humility
the task of succeeding so illustrious
a predecessor as Dr. Bigby Denby
He has been an ornament to medicine...
An ornament to his city... an ornament...
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Ornament.
A man's brain is sometimes cleared
By the sudden light of one word
In the flash of a split second
He sees a signpost,
Pointing down a new road
And he may take a new turning
That will affect the rest of his life
The split second is over
JOE: (spoken)
It takes a special talent
to be an ornament.
I am not blessed with this talent
GRANDMA: (spoken)
Marjorie, look!
JOE: (spoken)
I must therefore, respectfully...
ENSEMBLE:
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot...
JOE: (spoken)
I decline the appointment!
As a matter of fact,
I have another offer in a smaller hospital
where my father is physician-in-chief.
I'll be his assistant...
I want to practice medicine
again among people I understand.
I'm going home
ENSEMBLE:
Come home, come home
Where the brown birds fly
Through a pale blue sky
To a tall, green tree
There is no finder sight
For a man to see
DENBY: (spoken)
You can't do this!
What'll I tell the papers?!
LANSDALE: (spoken)
Tell the papers
He's just a small-town doctor
JOE: (spoken)
Okay! Tell'em that!
ENSEMBLE:
Now you can do
Whatever you want
Whatever you want to do
EMILY: (spoken)
Dr. Taylor!
Can you use a nurse back there?
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Here you are in a wonderful world
Especially made for you
CHARLIE: (spoken)
Hey! What about me?!
DENBY: (spoken)
Charlie!
JOE: (spoken)
C'mon!
EMILY, JOE, CHARLIE AND ENSEMBLE:
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
Now you can do
Whatever you want
Whatever you want to do
One foot out,
And the other foot out
One foot out,
And the other foot out
One foot out,
And the other foot out
And the world belongs to you!
