[Sylvester]
(spoken)
Well, we're in a tough spot, Sandy
Out of a job, no money saved up
Illusions banged up
[Sandy]
What'll we do, Sylvester?
[Sylvester]
Well, let's ask the puppet
[Sandy]
Yeah! Good idea. Let's ask Clyde!
[Puppet]
Hah, you kids have nothing to worry about
You're young, you're in love!
The world is your oyster!
Better than that, the world is your balloon
(sung)
Love, love, when you're in love
The world is your balloon
Rain is confetti rain
The moon's a lantern moon!
Glowworms are footlights in the clover
For they know
Life's a bang up show!
Why should it irk us?
Ain't it a circus?
Yours is the the gate that swings
To clowns and tinker bells
Yours is the hope on wings
The heart on carousels
Yours is the Earth to play with
On a summer afternoon
For when girl loves boy
The world is a toy balloon (x2)
[Sandy]
Pretty little world, valley, and stream
Floating in rainbow weather
[Sylvester]
Something for a girl and boy with a dream
Something to share together
[Both]
Lucky are they who never lose the string
To youth and spring
[All Three, with Ensemble]
Yours is the the gate that swings
To clowns and tinker bells
Yours is the hope on wings
The heart on carousels
[Sandy]
Yours is the Earth to play with
[Sylvester]
On a summer afternoon
[All]
For when girl loves boy
The world is a toy balloon!
