No. 9 - Song - Willie van Astorbilt - "The Land of the Midnight Son."
| Willie: | I'm a Broadway boy, right up to date, A rollicking jolly young reprobate. My only aim is to celebrate. I'm a fellow who's out for fun. I'm always dressed quite "out of sight." I'd buy this town, if I only might. For the day is gay and there is no night In the land of the Midnight Son. |
| Men: | For the day is gay and there is no night |
| All: | In the land of the Midnight Son. |
| Willie: | It's here and there, and everywhere I hear the ladies say: He's out today, there's no one can say him nay. With his smiling face and his elegant ways, He's certainly "out of sight." He may be a sinner, but still he's a winner, For he's all right. |
| Chorus: | It's here and there, and everywhere you'll hear the ladies say: He's out today, there's no one can say him nay. With his smiling face and his elegant ways, He's certainly "out of sight." He may be a sinner, but still he's a winner, |
| All: | For he's all right. |
| Willie: | I've money to burn. Just watch my smoke. My father's a broker. I'm never broke. My life itself is a blithering joke. It's a game already won. I know I'm a mush, but they call me a mash. I'm short of brains, but I've lots of cash. What else is needed to cut a dash In the land of the Midnight Son. |
| Men: | For the day is gay and there is no night |
| All: | In the land of the Midnight Son. |
| Willie: | It's here and there, and everywhere I hear the ladies say: He's out today, there's no one can say him nay. With his smiling face and his elegant ways, He's certainly "out of sight." He may be a sinner, but still he's a winner, For he's all right. |
| Chorus: | It's here and there, and everywhere I hear the ladies say: He's out today, there's no one can say him nay. With his smiling face and his elegant ways, He's certainly "out of sight." He may be a sinner, but still he's a winner, |
| All: | For he's all right. |
