Wunderbar (1999 Revised)

[FRED, spoken]
I could’ve sworn it was right after we closed on the road in that flop revival of the Prince of Potsdam.
Yes, I was understudying the lead!

[LILLI, spoken]
No, dear. We were both in the chorus
[Music in.]
Oh, there was a waltz in it, remember? Something about a bar... [she starts to hum]

[FRED, spoken]
“Ja! Madam, you are ravishing tonight. You have made me the happiest of men!”

[LILLI laughs]

[LILLI, spoken]
“Oh! Your highness!”

[FRED & LILLI suddenly remember, and speak.]

[FRED & LILLI, spoken]
Wunderbar!

[FRED & LILLI]
Wunderbar, wunderbar!

[LILLI]
There's our fav’rite star above

[FRED]
What a bright, shining star

[FRED & LILLI]
Like our love, it's wunderbar!

[FRED]
Gazing down on the Jungfrau

[LILLI]
From our secret chalet for two

[FRED]
Let us drink, Liebchen mein

[LILLI]
In the moonlight benign

[FRED & LILLI]
To the joy of our dream come true

Wunderbar, wunderbar!

[FRED]
What a perfect night for love!

[LILLI]
Here am I, here you are

[FRED]
Why, it's truly wunderbar!

[FRED & LILLI]
Wunderbar, wunderbar!

[FRED]
We're alone, and hand in glove

[LILLI]
Not a cloud near or far

[FRED]
Why, it's more than wunderbar!

[LILLI]
Say you care, dear

[FRED]
For you madly

[LILLI]
Say you long, dear

[FRED]
For your kiss

[LILLI]
Do you swear, dear?

[FRED]
Darling, gladly

[LILLI]
Life's divine, dear!

[FRED]
And you're mine, dear!

[FRED & LILLI]
Wunderbar, wunderbar!

[FRED]
There's our fav’rite star above

[LILLI]
What a bright, shining star

[FRED & LILLI]
Like our love, it's wunderbar!

[Dance: to the music of the bridge of the song - fourteen measures.]

[FRED]
And you're mine, dear!

[FRED & LILLI]
Wunderbar, wunderbar!

[FRED]
There's our fav’rite star above

[FRED & LILLI]
What a bright, shining star
Like our love, it's wunderbar!

[Music out. They kiss.]
