Happy Endings Lyrics

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Happy endings all around me
Happy endings all I see are
Happy endings on a silver screen
That's Hollywood!
Lovely lady
Gallant fellow
Meet one evening hear that cello
Troubles come between
But in that final scene
Count on a happy ending by a river
Happy ending on a mountain
Happy ending in a Broadway show
But oh
The life I lead is less dramatic
Not remotely cinematic
Happy endings far as I can see
Are only for the stars
Not in the stars for me

[DONALD]
Pst! Pst!
Pardon me, miss
I've a problem
Then I wonder could you help me
Lost my glove and I could usе your light

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Right

[DONALD]
I was leaving
It's so silly
But I think I must have dropped it
All at oncе it seemed to disappear--

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Here

[DONALD]
Gee, I'm grateful
And I'd like to show you my appreciation
Maybe take you out to dinner

[MOVIEGOER]
Shhh!

[DONALD]
When do you get off?
I can wait

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Oh no, I coundn't possibly--

[DONALD]
I can wait

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Oh well I, I don't do that

[DONALD]
I can wait

[MOVIEGOER]
Shhh!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
No, I ---

[DONALD]
I can wait

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Eight!

[CLUBBERS]
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?

[DONALD]
You sing here?

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Sometimes, after work
Relieves the stress

[DONALD]
You've got stress?

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Yes, I guess

[CLUBBERS]
Hey, Peggy, you're gonna sing tonight?

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
When Mister Right comes along
Ev'ry melody that sound is so wrong
We'll be blended in a beautiful song
When Mister Right --

[ALL]
Ma, she's wonderful!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Comes along!

[DONALD]
You're terrific, just amazing
What a talent, it's astounding
You should be star in a Broadway show-

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Yes, I know
But got tired, tired of waiting
Tired of hacking those auditions
It's started starving
So I think it what's the use?
By the way what do you do?

[DONALD]
You won't believe it

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Try me

[DONALD]
I produce!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
I am feeling aces high
And it's because of you that
I am feeling aces high
We're a king and a queen in the heavens
No longer at sixes and sevens
But eights!

[CLUBBERS]
Now that she's found out
She's finally his

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Say!

[CLUBBERS]
She's the happiest, happiest lady there is

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Aces high!

[CLUBBERS]
Oh, aces high!

[DONALD]
Now it's happened
Now you've made it
By tomorrow you'll be famous

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Famous!

[DONALD]
You'll discover all New York is at your feet

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
My feet!

[DONALD]
You'll have a brilliant career
Think champagne instead of pretzels and beer

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
And you'll be with me ev'rywhere I appear

[DONALD]
No

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
No?

[DONALD]
No, I've done ev'rything for you I could possibly do. You don't need me anymore. And if I stayed, why I'd be Mister Peggy Smith? I fear, I couldn't bear that

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
But --

[DONALD]
Goodbye, my dear

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Donald! Donald! Donald!

[EMCEE]
Our Guest of Honor is Broadway's dearest and most luminous light, in her own time a legend, a myth
Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Peggy Smith

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
What a night I won't forget. I'm just a theater usherette and who'd have dreamed that someday this would all come true? Would you? But there's a man, one certain man, who helped me when it all began, and he's the one who really own this honor tonight, but he is not here

[DONALD]
Peggy!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
I wish he were here

[DONALD]
Peggy!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
I can't believe it

[DONALD]
Peggy, Peggy! Peggy!

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Now my life is like a beautiful song
My Mister Right
Are only for the stars
Not in the stars for me

[DONALD]
Pst! Pst!
Pardon me, miss
I've a problem
And I wonder
Could you help me
Lost my glove and
I could use your light?

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Right!
Uh, yeah!
Well, I guess you're a big Broadway producer, uh!

[DONALD]
As a matter of fact I am, how did you know that?

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Oooh!
Girls! Girls! Girls!

[GIRLS]
Happy endings

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
All around me

[GIRLS]
Happy endings

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
All I see are

[GIRLS]
Happy endings

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Gallant fellow

[GIRLS]
Meet one evening

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
Hear that cello

[GIRLS]
Troubles come between

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
But in that final scene
Count on a

[GIRLS]
Happy ending by a river
Happy ending on a mountain
Happy ending

[FRANCINE/PEGGY]
In a Broadway show
Happy endings far as I can see
Are not reserved for the stars
They're in the stars for me
