Little Lady

[Rebecca, spoken]
Thank you, Mr. Bronfman. I don't know why everyone is so afraid of you. After all, we're Jewish! You're Jewish! No?

[Bronfman, spoken]
German Jewish. And it's hard to believe that you'd be afraid. Of anything

[sung]
I pride myself on my unerring eye
I can spy
Those with potential
And little lady, now it's you I spot
What you've got
Most have not
I predict for you
A bright American future...

I have seen a lot of folks come from the East
Who can never rise above a burden beast
You're not one of those
You've already rose
Past the ghetto mind and shtetl wig

Some here are defeated by the strange and new
Something tells me, little lady, that ain't you
Something I can sense
Gives me confidence
Little lady, you could make it big!

Take for instance, how you made that dress
With an eye for beauty and a nose for success
When you make buyers flock, it's
The way you fill your pockets
And never let them tell you that it won't buy happiness!

[spoken]
I have a client uptown. She's looking for a dress for her daughter, something that can turn a head. You think you could make something like that?

[Rebecca, spoken]
Of course I can!

[Bronfman]
Right away, I saw a special spark in you
And it doesn't hurt that you're good-looking, too
So what do you say?

[Rebecca]
Is it extra pay?

[Bronfman, spoken]
Sure!

[Rebecca]
Well then, okay
I can start today

[Bronfman]
"Well then, okay!"
See now, that's the way
A little lady makes it big!

[spoken]
Well, I see that I have interrupted your evening long enough. Goodnight

[Rebecca, spoken]
Goodnight, Mr. Bronfman

[Bronfman, spoken]
Please, call me Max

[sung]
To meet you, little lady
Was a pleasure mighty big
