Mame: Light the candles,
Get the ice out,
Roll the rug up,

I know that this very minute has history in it, we’re here!

And I’m saving all my love for you
Just keeping all my love for you

Maybe love is on it’s way
I’m having a wonderful wish

When you see a gal, you skitter
Open a new window,
Open a new door,
Travel a new highway,
That’s never been tried before;
Before you find you’re a dull fellow,
Punching the same clock,
Walking the same tightrope
As everyone on the block.

I am just a sweet young thing of 22
Or so.
I never sink to smoke or drink
My life is one long…
