No. 16 - Quintet - The Genie, Fanny, Chris, Miss Prisms & Scotty
Genie: | When Wagner had the lamp, He came one day to me, "Oh, I am in an awful fix And can't get out," said he, "For in my latest work I cannot end Act II; Of ten Finales none will suit, I don't know what to do." |
All: | He is the nicest man I ever work'd for, I'm/He's telling you the truth so do not doubt me/him; He was clever, I/he'll admit, And talented a bit, But he couldn't do a blessed thing without me/him. |
Genie: | When Forrest had the lamp, He ruled the local stage, I really show'd him how to act And made him all the rage. You'd ne'er have heard of Ned If me he'd never met; A lot of things I taught to him The rest are doing yet. |
All: | He was the nicest man I ever work'd for, I'm/He's telling you the truth so do not doubt me/him; He was clever, I/he'll admit, And talented a bit, But he couldn't do a blessed thing without me/him. |
