Ahhh

I'd like to set you

to music

Ahhh

Immortalize you

in music

I'd like to borrow

The lilt of April's breeze

And then reprise you

In these melodies

Ahh

And when I finish

the music

Oooh, hooo hooo

You'll hear the sweet

orchestration

Of the birds...

I'd like to set you

to music

Just because

You're far,

far too wonderful

For words

- La da, da da

- Ooh ooh

La da, da da

La da, da da

La dee, da da

But there's no one

lovelier than you

Man:
I'd like to set you to music

Immortalize

you in music

I'd like to borrow

The lilt of April's breeze

And then reprise you

In these melodies...

And when I finish

the music

La da dee,

da da da da dum

You'll hear

the sweet orchestration

Of the birds

I'd like to set you to music

Just because

You're far

Far too wonderful

Far too marvelous...

For words

La da, la da

La da, da da.

- Waiter!

- Yes, sir?

- Same thing, please.

- What'll you have?

A... what's the matter

with you?

Why aren't you

waiting on the tables?

I can't.

Why not?

I'm in love.

But she likes

Johnny Long.

I know that.

If I was a musician,

I'd have a much better

chance with her.

- But you're not.

- I know that, too. I'm a big dummy.

I never took lessons

with nothing.

- You can't play any instruments?

- I can't play nothing.

Hey, wait a minute!

I've got an idea.

Do you know

what's in there?

- There's a Victrola in there.

- A Victrola?

- What are you going to do with that?

- With a piano record.

I was supposed to take it

on the other side of the pool.

- Why don't you go and take it over there?

- Wait a minute.

I'm going to take this thing

in back of the piano.

You're gonna take the Victrola

in back of the piano?

Go over and ask her if she

wants you to play the piano.

- If she says yes, I'm stuck, huh?

- You're not stuck!

You go over to the piano

and you say, "All right. "

When you say, "All right,"

I'll put on the record.

She'll think you're playing.

Then, when you say "All

right" the second time, I stop.

Oh, we're gonna

flimflam her?

- No!

- Let's have one rehearsal.

Go ahead.

All right.

- All right.

- Stop.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Hello!

Hello.

- How are you?

- Fine. How are you?

I... do you

like musicians?

Why, I love them.

You do?

I play piano.

I didn't know you could

play the piano.

Do you play by ear?

No, I use my hands

like everybody else.

They hurt

when I play that way.

Oh, I see.

Like that. Would you like to

have me play something for you?

Sure.

Come on.

Do you mind

sitting over here?

- Not at all.

- Thank you.

You sit right down there and I'll

play something on the piano for you

like you never heard in your life.
