Only For Him (Only For You)

[Meg:] jesus, what a crowd.

[Showgirl:] nervous?

[Meg:] just a bit.

[Showgirl:] kid, look who you are!
The headline act!
A major star!
You're already a hit.
(got a match?)

[Meg:] wonder what he'll think...

[Showgirl:] the boss?

[Meg:] if he's even here.

[Showgirl:] honey please... He's here.
And in just two days,
He'll be there tossing you bouquets
At our gala premiere.
Picture it!
The cream of manhattan!
Celebrities! Millionaires!
Watching you!

[Meg:] i'll be waiting in the wing,
Wound up tighter than a spring,
As the house begins to dim.
And i'll practice every line,
Hoping desperately to shine.
Shining only for him.

[Showgirl:] just imagine how they'll cheer
At the moment you appear.

[Meg:] stepping out before the scrim...!
Let them whoop and let 'em call,
I won't hear the crowd at all...

[Showgirl:] no, it's only for him.

[Meg:] tell me how i look.

[Showgirl:] fine.

[Meg:] just fine? What about my hair?

[Showgirl:] beautiful.

[Meg:] you swear?

[Showgirl:] trust me, once the boss
Sees how you put that song across.

Hell, he ain't got a prayer.

[Meg:] you mean it?

[Showgirl:] you'll step out into the light.
Looking lovely!
Burning bright!
All vitality and vim!

[Meg:] ah-ahh...!
And i'll rapturously float
Through the melody he wrote,
Singing only for him.

[Showgirl:] and before the music dies,
Up the audience will rise,
Nearly bursting at the brim!
And you'll stand there in the glow...

[Meg:] and perhaps, at last he'll know...

[Showgirl:] girls! Hurry up! We're on!

Onlookers: (where is she?) (look! There!)
(in the center!) (just like in the posters!)
(it's the ooh la la girl!) (meg giry!)

[Meg:] welcome each and everyone
To our firmament of fun!

[Showgirl:] a buffet of ballyhoo!

Meg & [Showgirl:] it's where coney comes to play
And it's opening today!

[Meg:] and it's only for you!

[Showgirl:] and you!
And you!
And you!

Meg & [Showgirl:] entertainment day and night,
Sure to dazzle and delight!

[Meg:] and of course we'll be there too!

[Meg:] & [Showgirl:] we're so happy that you're here,
For the season's big premiere!
And it's only for you!
