Perfectly Marvelous

[SALLY, spoken]
If anyone should ask you about me one day, Cliff
You have two alternatives:
You can either say, "Yes, it's true, we're living in delicious sin"
Or you can simple tell them the truth, and say

[SALLY]
I met this perfectly marvelous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a glass to the start of a marvelous year
Before you knew it she called on the phone, inviting
Next moment I was no longer alone
But sat reciting

Some perfectly beautiful verse
In my charming American style
How I dazzled her senses was truly no less than a crime
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful room
And we're living together and having a marvelous time

[CLIFF, spoken]
Ah Sally, I'm afraid it wouldn't work
You're much too distracting

[SALLY, spoken]
Distracting? No, inspiring!

[SALLY]
She tells me perfectly marvelous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which I'll probably use as a chapter or two in my book
And since my stay in Berlin was to force creation
What luck to fall on a fabulous source of stimulation!

And perfectly marvelous too
Is her perfect agreement to be
Just as still as a mouse while I'm giving my novel a whirl
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invisible, perfectly marvelous girl

[CLIFF]
I met this
Truly remarkable girl
In this really incredible town
And she skillfully managed to talk her way into my room

[SALLY, spoken]
Oh, Cliff!

[CLIFF]
I have a terrible feeling I've said
A dumb thing
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed

[SALLY]
We'll think of something

[CLIFF]
And now this wild, unpredictable girl

[SALLY]
And this perfectly beautiful man

[SALLY & CLIFF]
Will be living together and having a marvelous life!
