I Got Rhythm - Max von Essen, Brandon Uranowitz, Robert Fairchild

Days can be sunny

With never a sigh;

Don’t need what money can buy

(spoken)

Can we light up the accompaniment?

No, we cannot

Birds in the tree sing

Their day full of song

Why shouldn’t we sing along?

(spoken)

It’s like a funeral…

Kinda gloomy

I’m chipper all the day

Happy with my lot

(spoken)

Happy?

It doesn’t sound that way!

How do I get that way?

(spoken; chuckles)

Something, something, something…

I got rhythm

I got music-

(spoken)

No, no, no, no!

(sung)

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

(spoken)

It’s better in 4/4!

(sung)

I got daisies

In green pastures

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Ol' Man Trouble

I don’t mind him

You won’t find him

'Round my door

I got starlight

I got sweet dreams

(spoken to Adam)

Stop it!

(sung)

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?

(spoken)

Look.

Look at their faces.

People need to laugh.

Paris needs it!

Who says music needs to cheer people up?

I say it!

Ol' Man Trouble

I don’t mind him

You won’t find him

'Round my door

I got starlight

I got sweet dreams

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?

I got rhythm

I got music

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies

In green pastures

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

And the day turned to night, and somehow, in that little slip of time,

the three of us became…

The three musketeers!!!

I got rhythm

I got music

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies

In green pastures

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Ol' Man Trouble

I don’t mind him

You won’t find him

'Round my door-

The sound of an explosion, followed by screams of distress

Don’t worry, it’s only an electricity

It’s okay, we’ll take care of it

A dance number ensues as the people relax while the electricity is being fixed

I got rhythm, I got rhythm

As Jerry pedals a bike to get the lights to start working again

Allez, allez, allez, allez…

I got rhythm

I got music…

The lights burst back on;

the music starts again full swing

I got rhythm

I got music

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Ol' Man Trouble

I don’t mind him

You won’t find him

'Round my door

I got starlight

I got sweet dreams

I got my gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?
