Upon seeing one of her old movies on TV, Margo makes fun of her younger self with this song jabbing at the fashions and slang of the 1940s, when she was a newly minted movie star.
[MARGO, spoken]
Which one does Bill want to marry?
Margo today?
Margo on stage?
Or that one?
Nineteen year old Margo Channing on the Late, Late Show
(sung)
Who's that girl with the permanent wave
And the dress below her knees?
Who's that doll with the open toed pumps?
Would you kindly tell me, please?
Look at her, Miss 1946
Teenage Margo, queen of the forties flicks
Melloroony
Who's that girl with the Maybelline eyes
Acting like she knew the score?
Ixnay, daddy-o, I never saw that girl before
Who's that girl with the permanent grin
And the stockings with the seams?
Did that kid with the caps on her teeth
Launch a million GIs' dreams?
Where is she, that girl of yesterday?
With her falsies, leading Lew Ayres astray
Boogie woogie, baby
Who's that girl with the chic shoulder pads?
Could it be that long ago?
Nosirreebop, fooryackasackee
She isn't anyone I know
[Dance break]
[MARGO]
Watch her dance, you can tell that she's hep
'Cause she digs that jumpin' jive
Wind her up and she really can act
You would swear that she's alive
How she smokes those brand new filter tips
Watch her pucker those red-hot Tangee lips
Hey-bob-a-re-bob!
Who's that girl in the platform heels?
Who could that tomato be?
That snazzy chick
Floy doy, floy doy
Truckin' on down
Tuxedo junction
[EVE]
In the pinstriped suit!
[MARGO]
And the up-swept hair
Boogie woogie bugle boy from Company B
Knock! Knock!
[EVE]
Who's there?
[MARGO]
Me!
Hubba hubba!
