1-20
(m) Jule Styne (w) Stephen Sondheim (I) Musical: Gypsy by Ethel Merman
You’ll be swell, you’ll be great,
Gonna have the whole world on a plate.
Starting here, starting now,
Honey, everything’s coming up roses!
Clear the decks, clear the tracks,
You got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss, Take a bow,
Honey, everything’s coming up roses!

Now’s your inning, stand the world on its ear!
Set it spinning. That’ll be just the beginning!
Curtain up, Light the lights,
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You’ll be swell, You’ll be great, I can tell, Just you wait!
That lucky star I talk about is due.
Honey, everything’s coming up roses for me and for you!

Bridge:
You can do it! All you need is a hand.
We can do it, Momma is gonna see to it!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell, Wait and see!
There’s the bell, Follow me!
And nothing’s gonna stop us till we’re through!
Honey, everything’s coming up roses and daffodils,
Everything’s coming up sunshine and Santa Claus,
Everything’s gonna be bright lights and lollipops.
Everything’s coming up roses for me and for you.
