2012 New York City Center Encores! Merrily We Roll Along the Musical - It's A Hit Lyrics
Joe: Listen to that! Will you listen to that!
Frank: Do you know what that means? Let me tell you what that means — Wait, no, anyone who even thinks it, Don’t say it, you’ll jinx it —
Charley: Listen to that!
Joe: Did you listen to that?
Frank: Does that make you feel proud? Well, feel more than just proud —
Okay, wait, i’ll tempt fate And i’ll state it out loud
That’s the sound of a —
Hit! It’s a hit! Gang, i think this is it! No more writing clever little shows For those basement saloons, No more proclamations from the pros That “you can’t hum the tunes”—
Charley: No more sneaking in at intermission To the plays you wish you could afford —
Mary: Or producers having you audition Whenever they’re bored —
Charley: And who’ll say Right away As you play The first chord:
All: We’re a hit! We’re a hit!
Joe: Standing up — The whole bit!
Frank: No more coaching those sopranos With voices like bees —
Charley: No more secondhand pianos With six broken keys —
Mary: No more agents giving you opinions As they turn you over to their minions —
All: Just for these Guarantees We should please Thank the lord It’s a hit! It’s a hit!
Beth: Will my folks have a fit! After all of that baloney They’ve made me go through, All that, ‘honey, not that he’s a phony, But what does he do?’ Will their faces be stony When they see on their sony Someone handing the phony The tony Award!
Frank: Listen to that! Will you listen to that? Tell me, is that a noise Or is that a noise? That is a noise we’ve been waiting The whole of our lives to hear!
Beth: Listen to that! Did you listen to that? Honey, is that a noise Or is that a noise? That is the loveliest noise For a breadwinning wife to hear!
Frank: Listen to that, Will you listen to that! I can’t stand it!
Mary: Listen to that! That’s obscene!
Mary, joe: That is a noise, That is really a — Listen to that! Will you listen to that? Golly, i can’t — listen to that! Will you listen to that?
Charley: Listen to that! Fellas, that is a noise, That is really a noise! I can’t stand it! Will you listen to that! Will you listen to that!
Beth: Listen to that! Did you listen to that? I can’t stand it! Did you listen to that! Listen to that! Will you listen to that!
Frank: Listen to that! That is the noise i’ve been waiting My life to hear! Listen to that! Will you listen to that! Will you listen to that!
All: That’s the sound of an audience Losing its mind! It’s the pope on his balcony Blessing mankind!
Joe: Folks, it’s “funny girl,” “fiddler” And “dolly” combined!
All: It’s a hit! It’s a hit! It’s a palpable hit!
Frank, charley If it only even runs a minute At least it’s a wedge, It’s the theater and we’re really in it, Not just on the edge!
Joe: If your spirits ever need improving, You can drop in any night for free!
Frank: But the thing that’s positively moving —
Charley: You could have fooled me —
Frank, charley: Is we’re still old friends! Nothing can kill old friends!
Frank, charley, mary: Where there’s a will, old friends Don’t need success to survive!
Trio, beth: And us, old friends, What’s to discuss, old friends?
All: We’ve got a surefire Genuine Walkaway Blockbuster Lines down to broadway Boffola Sensational Box office Lalapalooza Gargantuan — Hit!
It’s a hit! (and again) It’s a hit! It’s a hit! It’s a hit! It’s a hit!
