For Me and My Gal (1942), starring Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, George Murphy

For Me and My Gal is a good many things — an ode to vaudeville, with some excellent song and dance routines, a “boy meets girl” movie, the film debut of Gene Kelly, a patriotic movie — and a very good movie overall. Frankly, what’s most refreshing about  For Me and My Gal is that the protagonist is a flawed person.  His flaws lead to his problems, and whose overcoming them leads to character growth.

We Need A Little Christmas

We Need A Little Christmas lyrics, written by Jerry Herman, originally performed in Mame by Angela Lansbury on Broadway, later by Lucille Ball in the motion picture

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stockings
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet

We Need A Little Christmas

My Best Girl

My Best Girl lyrics, written by Jerry Herman, performed by Lucille Ball in Mame

You’re my best girl and nothing you do is wrong,
I’m proud you belong to me;
And if a day is rough for me,
Having you there’s enough for me.
But if someday another girl comes along,
It won’t take her long to see,
That I’ll still be found, just hanging around
My best girl.

My Best Girl

If He Walked Into My Life

If He Walked Into My Life, written by Jerry Herman, performed by Lucille Ball in Mame

Where’s that boy with the bugle?
My little love was always my big romance;
Where’s that boy with the bugle?
And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants?

Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?If He Walked Into My Life

It’s Today

It’s Today lyrics, written by Jerry Herman, performed by Lucille Ball in Mame

Mame: Light the candles,
Get the ice out,
Roll the rug up,
It’s today.
Though it may not be anyone’s birthday,
And though it’s far from the first of the year,
I know that this very minute has history in it, we’re here!

It’s Today

Havin’ A Wonderful Wish (Time You Were Here) lyrics – performed in Sorrowful Jones, music by Jay Livingston, lyrics by Ray Evans, sung by Lucille Ball (dubbed by Annette Warren)

And I’m saving all my love for you
Just keeping all my love for you
The stars look down, they seem to say
Maybe love is on it’s way
I’m having a wonderful wish
I’ve been waiting so long,
Time you were here.
