I Got Rhythm

[HENRI]
Days can be sunny
With never a sigh;
Don't need what money can buy
(spoken)
Can we light up the accompaniment?

[ADAM, spoken]
No, we cannot

[HENRI]
Birds in the tree sing
Their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along?
(spoken)
It's like a funeral...

[JERRY, spoken]
Kinda gloomy

[HENRI]
I'm chipper all the day
Happy with my lot
(spoken)
Happy? It doesn't sound that way!

[ADAM]
How do I get that way?
(spoken; chuckles)
Something, something, something....

[HENRI]
I got rhythm
I got music-
(spoken)
No, no, no, no!
(sung)
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?
(spoken)
It's better in 4/4!
(sung)
I got daisies
In green pastures
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?

Ol' Man Trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him
'Round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
(spoken to Adam)
Stop it!
(sung)
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?

(spoken)
Look. Look at their faces. People need to laugh. Paris needs it!

[ADAM, spoken]
Who says music needs to cheer people up?

[HENRI, spoken]
I say it!

[HENRI and JERRY]
Ol' Man Trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him
'Round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?

[ENSEMBLE]
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies
In green pastures
I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more?

[ADAM, spoken]
And the day turned to night, and somehow, in that little slip of time, the three of us became...

[ADAM, JERRY, and HENRI, spoken]
The three musketeers!!!

The sound of an explosion, followed by screams of distress

It's okay, we'll take care of it
