Rose Brice's Saloon on Henry Street is the center
|
of a block party decorated with banners congratulating
|
Fanny. The neighbors and party guests all sing:
|
|
[All:]
|
Henry Street,
|
No, it ain't Broadway, it's Henry Street.
|
Way after midnight
|
Lit up as bright as a lighthouse
|
Brighter tonight than the White House.
|
[Boys:]
|
We're proud to tell you that C.P.A.'s
|
We got in dozens, and lawyers, take your choice.
|
Messes and messes of young D.D.-esses,
|
A looney who teaches voice,
|
[Girls:]
|
Ah, ha, ha, ha--
|
[All:]
|
Henry Street has something it ain't had so far:
|
The greatest, most glamorous, genuine, glorified
|
Ziegfeld star.
