Funny Girl - I Want to Be Seen with You Lyrics

2022 Broadway revival
Funny Girl the Musical - I Want to Be Seen with You Lyrics

The song is written by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill.

NICK:
I want to be seen, be seen with you
With you on my arm
To wear you like a charm
Your glitter decorating my arm

Now naturally, such proximity
Gets rumors to rise
We'll let them analyze
What our amalgamation implies

Oh, yes
The gossips will press
Too willing to stress
The seamy-side
Know what?
So what?

I want to be seen, be seen with you
With you on my arm
Let's give this town a light
And hit it like a meteorite
Tonight I want to be seen with you

FANNY: (spoken)
My mother’s got the whole
neighborhood waiting for me
I gotta go
You wanna come?

NICK: (spoken)
I’d love to

FANNY: (spoken)
You don’t mean it?

NICK: (spoken)
Of course I do
It’s not every night that an actual verified,
glorifiеd Ziegfeld girl invites mе to Brooklyn

FANNY: (spoken)
I don’t want you to ruin your evening

NICK: (spoken)
How can I when I’ll be with you?

FANNY:
The moon over mother's saloon
Have a nice macaroon
I'll buy you a light beer

NICK:
Right, dear

BOTH:
I wanna be seen, be seen with you

NICK:
With you on my arm
Let's give this town a light

FANNY:
Let's give this town a light

BOTH:
And hit it like a meteorite
Tonight, I want to be seen with

NICK:
Just gotta be seen with

FANNY:
I'd like to be seen with

BOTH:
I want to be seen with you
