Bye Bye Birdie Page #5

The line is still busy?

Yes, Hugo.

Well, of course

I'll always wear it on everything.

Oh, except my gym blouse.

Miss Turgnisht won't allow it.

Tonight?

Well, I have no plans.

I think I can get out

till about 10:
00.

Oh, you have to be in by 9:00.

Well, c'est la vie.

Until tonight then, mon amour.

Bye.

When you're a skinny child of 15

Wired with braces from ear to ear

You doubt that

you will ever be appealing

Then, hallelujah, you are 16

and the braces disappear

And your skin is smooth and clear

And you have that happy grown-up

Female feeling

How lovely to be a woman

The wait was well worthwhile

How lovely to wear mascara

And smile a woman's smile

How lovely to have a figure

That's round instead of flat

Whenever you hear boys whistle

You're what they're whistling at

It's wonderful to feel

The way a woman feels

It gives you such a glow

just to know

You're wearing

lipstick and heels

How lovely to be a woman

And have one job to do

To pick out a boy

and train him

And then when you are through

You've made him

the man you want him

To be

How lovely to be a woman

Like me

How wonderful to know

The things a woman knows

How marvelous to wait

for a date

In simply beautiful clothes

How lovely to be a woman

And change from boys to men

To go to a fancy nightclub

And stay out after 10:00

How lovely to be so grown up

And free

Life's lovely

when you're a woman

Like me

Hello? Oh? Well,

hold on, Operator.

Kim, it's for you.

She says it's long distance.

- Thank you, Doris.

- Who could be calling Kim...

- Did you say "Doris"?

- It's the modern way, dear.

Makes mother and daughter

more like friends.

Harry, I think you took the news

about Hugo and I awfully well. Hello?

- She called you "Harry."

- Yeah.

- Yes, this is Miss Kim McAfee.

- Yesterday I was a mother.

- Today I'm a friend.

- Yes, I'll hold on.

Well, maybe you could call me Mom.

That's modern.

Times are changing. You go along

or else you're out ot it.

Harry, do you have a cigarette?

I've run out.

Oh, so have I.

How about my pipe?

- Hello?

- Hello?

- Kim McAfee? I have a great prize.

- Harry? Kids.

You have been selected from all

the teenagers in the United States...

to be kissed by Conrad Birdie on

The Ed Sullivan Show this Sunday night.

We'll be in touch. Good-bye!

Conrad Birdie?

To kiss me?

Mother!

- Mommy!

- Baby! What happened?

Conrad Birdie's

coming here to kiss me!

- Isn't that nice?

- You don't understand!

Conrad Birdie's coming

to Sweet Apple to kiss me!

Oh, Mommy!

I never thought I'd say it,

but God bless Conrad Birdie!

Conrad Birdie's

coming here to kiss me!

Now, listen. Now,

the absolute instant he appears...
