Afterwards, Ziegfeld is angry but agrees she was right
|
to go for the comedy. Nick Arnstein comes backstage
|
and wants to escort Fanny out to celebrate her opening night.
|
Fanny would love to go out with Nick but she's obligated to
|
appear at a party at her mother's saloon; she invites Nick
|
and he accepts.
|
|
[Nick:]
|
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
|
With you on my arm,
|
To wear you like a charm,
|
Your glitter decorating my arm.
|
Now, natch'rally such proximity
|
Gives rumors a rise,
|
We'll let them analyze
|
What our amalgamation implies.
|
Oh yes,
|
The gossips will press,
|
So willing to stress
|
The seamy side--
|
Know what?
|
So what!
|
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
|
With you on my arm.
|
Let's give this town a light,
|
And hit it like a me-te-or-ite-- tonight.
|
I want to be seen with you.
|
[Fanny:]
|
The moon over mother's saloon,
|
Have a nice macaroon
|
I'll buy you a light beer.
|
[Nick:]
|
Right, dear.
|
[Both:]
|
I want to be seen, be seen with you,
|
[Nick:]
|
With you on my arm.
|
Let's give this town a light
|
And hit it like a me-te-or-ite--
|
[Both:]
|
Tonight--I want to be seen with,
|
[Nick:]
|
Oh, please let me be seen with,
|
[Fanny:]
|
And I would like to be seen with
|
[Both:]
|
I want to be seen with you.
