Ann Sothern:
What say, let’s be buddies
What say, let’s be pals
What say, let’s be buddies
And keep up each other’s morales
I may never shout it
But many’s the time I’m blue
What say, how’s about it
Can’t I be a buddy to you?
Stephen Boyd: What is a circus? What does it mean?
Is it a banjo? Or a tambourine?
Is it a phony snake charmer routine?
Song lyrics to I’m Feelin’ Like a Million (1937) Music by Nacio Herb Brown, Lyrics by Arthur Freed, performed in Broadway Melody of 1938, performed by George Murphy and Eleanor Powell.

In Sherlock Jr., Buster Keaton stars as a movie theater projectionist who dreams of becoming a super-sleuth. In one sequence, he literally steps into the screen and brings his fantasies to life.
Sherlock Jr. [Buster Keaton]
When the whole world seems wrong
Just learn the words of a simple song,
Of blue skies above,
Be a troubadour and all is love.
Song lyrics to Yours and Mine (1937) Music by Nacio Herb Brown, Lyrics by Arthur Freed, Sung by Judy Garland in Broadway Melody of 1938
Yours and Mine song lyrics
Let 76 trombones lead the big parade! It’s The Music Man, the screen version of one of Broadway’s all-time blockbusters. Starring Robert Preston as the slick salesman and Shirley Jones as the not-quite-gullible librarian.
