OSGOOD: Well... They say the Great Depression's gotten everybody's goat But Pops invented root beer, And it’s keeping me afloat! And so I've sailed the sеven seas To find myself a matе Love comes and goes And heaven knows, I've spent a lot on bait! Yes, money can be made or lost, For that's what money does But that's not why, at night, I cry The reason is because...
I like sailing on every coast I've got millions, but I can't boast Because I'm missing what I need most I’m a poor little millionaire!

DAPHNE & OSGOOD: (spoken) Absolutely beautiful!
OSGOOD: I was sitting in sad repose But then the boat started rockin' And there she blows!
BELLHOPS: Woo!
OSGOOD: So now I'm hoping that Lorelei goes For a poor little millionaire!
BELLHOPS: Doo-wop, doo-wop!
OSGOOD: Like Captain Ahab, I'm in my prime And I could show you a whale of a time I pray you aren't put off that I'm Just a poor little millionaire!
BELLHOPS: Doo-wop, doo-wop, bop!
OSGOOD: I've been lookin' for a gal for whom Cash is not an aphrodisiac
BELLHOPS: Good luck!
OSGOOD: ‘Cause the nights are lonely, Only countin' your stash And though I love my money It doesn't kiss back!
BELLHOPS: Aww!
OSGOOD: Do you believe in love at first sight? It sure is whetting my appetite So, say you'll sail on my yacht tonight With this
OSGOOD & BELLHOPS: Poor little millionaire!
OSGOOD: (spoken) Oh, allow me to introduce myself I'm Osgood Fielding the third
DAPHNE: (spoken) I guess that makes me Cinderella the second!
OSGOOD: (spoken) I'm the proprietor of this humble oasis We aim to make our guests feel equally welcome and properly pampered May I help with your case?
DAPHNE: (spoken) I can do my own heavy lifting, thank you!
OSGOOD: (spoken) You must be with the band! I have a front row table to your show tonight
DAPHNE: (spoken) I'll try not to spit on you
OSGOOD: (spoken) Oh, don't hold back on my account! I'm a Pisces!
DAPHNE: (spoken) Good! Then you know there's other fish in the sea
OSGOOD: (spoken) Pardon me. Might you know that young Aphrodite's name?
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken) Who, Daphne?
OSGOOD: (spoken) Daphne! Time stands still! Daphne!
OSGOOD & BELLHOPS: My poor love life was all at sea (Ooh) I was all resigned to walk the plank (Walk the plank) But now my heart's feeling quite fancy-free (Ooh) So let's bust open my piggy bank! (Piggy!)
Be my matey and say “aye, aye!” (Aye!) The next step, baby, we'll hit the sky!
On the kind of happiness money can't buy With your poor little millionaire!
BELLHOPS: Millionaire!
