Blind Date - Barbra Streisand

FANNY & CHORUS 
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows 
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress 
Look at me I am shaking all over, 
Shaking all over 
I'm a mess 
Waiting wondering what I'll be thinking 
When he comes walking through that door 

What'll come walking through that door 
A man I never saw in my life before 
Oh, 
I am so nervous 
I got a blind date waiting to call on me (any minute now) 
I got a blind date what am I gonna see (any minute now) 
Right over there's the doorway, he will be walking through 
Will he be six foot eight or maybe four foot two (it could happen) 

I got a blind date waiting to come around (any minute now) 
Oy but I'm nervous listen to my heart pound 
Why do I need this headache, single is not a crime 
I got a blind date 
An with my luck he'll be on time 

I got a girlfriend Shirley, who says why not (she's an idiot) 
This guy is a friend from a friend of a friend she got (hello, how do you do 
what an idiot) 
One thing I know is Shirley ain't sitting on no shelf 
If he was such a vow she'd keep him for herself (it's only natural) 
She says she is he's nice and he deals in stocks (sounds good, but she's an 
idiot) 
I'll bet a buck he looks like month-old lox (also and idiot) 
What do I need from Shirley her and her fifty cup 
I got a blind date and I'm praying he stands me up 

Wait wait, what am I praying he stands me up, I'll stand him up. I smell a rat 
anyway. Umm. I'm gonna hide under the bed, he'll never see me, he'll walk in and look 
around, I wouldn't be there, he'll go away and that's the end of that. 
Perrfect! 
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear 
You didn't see a thing 
Oeps there he is! 
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet! 

Blind date: Rosalie?! 
Rosalie: Oi, oi, oi 
Blind date: Rosalie?! that's odd she doesn't seem to be here 
Rosalie: Smart, smart! 
Blind date: I've been stood up, it's news 
Rosalie: Well it's better than put down 
Blind date: This has never happened before 
Rosalie: What and ego! 
Blind date: Rosalie?! 
Rosalie: Sh, sh, sh! 
Rosalie: It worked, it worked! 
He never saw me. Boy am I lucky I didn't see him neither, 
but I can just imagine what a lox that one was. 

Rosalie: I got it right her Shirley was playing tricks 
Voice: No, no, that's wrong, you got it wrong 
Rosalie: Wait, wait, what that's not right? 
Voice: No, he was gorgeous he looked like Rudolph 
Rosalie: Rudolph who? 
Voice: Rudolph Valentino 
Rosalie: Get away 
Voice: Yeah, the sheik from Arabia 
Rosalie: Not the phantom from the opera? 
Voice: Uh, Uh 
Rosalie: The sheik from where? 
Voice: The sheik from Arabia 
Rosalie: Get away 
Voice: That's right 
Rosalie: Wait a minute is this person kidding me around here? 
Voice: No, no absolutely 
Rosalie: Get away 
Rosalie: Well that's what happened I let him get away 

What do I'll do now maybe become a nun (That's impossible) 
I'm calling Shirley maybe she'll bring a gun 
Please Shirley, even if he's Lon Chaney fat, bald or short or tall 
Having a blind date is better than having 
No date, at no time with no one at all. 
Wait a minute maybe I spoke too soon 
Shirley get me out of here! 
Oh this one is cute.
