"Ladies Who Lunch" from Company
Another long exhausting day
Another thousand dollars
A matinée, a Pinter play
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's
I'll drink to that
And one for Mahler...

"Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George (This song is about the painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by George Seurat)
Sunday, by the blue purple yellow red water
On the green purple yellow red grass
Let us pass through our perfect park
Pausing on a Sunday

By the cool blue triangular water
On the soft green elliptical grass
As we pass through arrangements of shadow
Toward the verticals of trees
Forever

By the blue purple yellow red water
On the green orange violet mass of the grass
In our perfect park...

"Folies Bergeres" from Nine
Love cannot be love without "le singing,"
A string, a clarinet, a saxophone.
Take a lesson from this old Parisian
And the finest entertainment she/he has known.
Folies Bergeres
What a showing of color, costume, and dancing!
Not a moment in life could be more entrancing
Than an evening you spend aux Folies Bergeres.
Folies Bergeres...

You fill the air with smiles
For miles and miles and miles

For world's I'd not replace
Your sunny-- funny face...

"Key Largo," Bertie Higgins
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey, I was your hero
And you were my leading lady
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our own late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo...

Make me a poster of an old rodeo...
