[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Come out here! Come on out!
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
You didn't tell me I'd have to be a girl
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Please, Hysterium, we must convince the captain
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
He'll never believe I'm a girl. Look at me. Just look at me
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
I can't take my eyes off you
(sung)
You're lovely
Absolutely lovely
Who'd believe the loveliness of you?
Perfect
Sweet and warm and winsome
Radiant as in some dream come true

Helen and her thousand ships

(spoken)

I should have flowers!
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Flowers!
[HYSTERIUM]
I'm so lovely
[PSEUDOLUS]
Literally lovely
[BOTH]
That the world will never seem the same
[PSEUDOLUS]
You are lovely
[BOTH]
That the world will never seem the same

From Sondheim’s Finishing the Hat:
