Alternately titled ‘Mr. Goldstone’, ‘Mr. Goldstone, I Love You’, and ‘Have An Eggroll, Mr. Goldstone’, Rose sings this song to none other than Mr. Goldstone, an agent who gives the act a big break.
[ROSE]
Have an egg roll, Mr. Goldstone
Have a napkin, have a chopstick, have a chair!
Have a sparerib, Mr. Goldstone—
Any sparerib that I can spare
I'll be glad to share!
Have a dish, have a fork
Have a fish, have a pork
Put your feet up, feel at home
Have a smoke, have a Coke
Would you like to hear a joke?
I'll have June recite a poem!
Have a litchi, Mr. Goldstone
Tell me any little thing that I can do
Ginger peachy, Mr. Goldstone
Have a kumquat—have two!
Everybody give a cheer
Santa Claus is sitting here—
Mr. Goldstone, I love you!
Have a Goldstone, Mr. Egg Roll
Tell me any little thing that I can do
Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce
Have a cookie, have a few!
What's the matter, Mr. G?
Have another pot of tea!
Mr. Goldstone, I love you!
There are good stones and bad stones
And curbstones and Gladstones
And touchstones and such stones as them
There are big stones and small stones
And grind stones and gallstones
But Goldstone is a gem!
There are milestones, there are millstones
There's a cherry, there's a yellow
There's a blue!
But we don't want any old stone
Only Goldstone
Will do!
[ALL]
Moonstone, sunstone
We all scream for one stone:
Mervyn Goldstone, we love you!
(spoken)
Goldstone!
Mr. Goldstone, I Love You was written by Stephen Sondheim & Jule Styne.
Mr. Goldstone, I Love You was produced by Goddard Lieberson.
Sondheim doesn’t seem too proud of this one. “This is a boilerplate example of the ‘list’ song at its most egregious. A list song is just that: one idea illustrated by a list of examples..In this example, once Rose has offered Mr. Goldstone an egg roll, the joke is over…‘Have an Egg Roll, Mr. Goldst...
