Ziegfeld Follies Page #6

Synopsis: In heaven, showman Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. fondly recalls his first Broadway revue, the Ziegfeld Follies of 1907. Even from heaven, he is hoping that he can, for one last time, create that same magic by mounting one last follies. As he thinks about who he would like to appear in these follies, he is assisted in realizing his fantasy, at least in his own mind, by such luminaries as Fred Astaire, Edward Arnold, 'Lucille Ball', Marion Bell, Lucille Bremer, Fanny Brice, Cyd Charisse, Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, James Melton, Victor Moore, Virginia O'Brien, Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Keenan Wynn, and, of course, a bevy of beautiful girls.

- What, again? Hand it to him.

- Don't worry, they can't do this.

- Please pay him the 2 dollars.

- I'll have you out in 20 minutes.

- I wanted to pay them.

Don't do a thing, Victor,

until you hear from me.

Maybe it was the music

Or the glamorous sky of blue

Maybe it was the mood I was in

Or maybe it was really you

Really you

This heart of mine

Was doing very well

The world was fine

As far as I could tell

And then quite suddenly I saw you

And I dreamed of gay amours

At dawn I'll wake up singing

Sentimental overtures

This heart of mine

Is gaily dancing now

I taste the wine

Of real romancing now

Somehow this crazy world

Has taken on

A wonderful design

As long as life endures

It's yours, this heart of mine

This heart of mine

Was doing very well

The world was fine

As far as I could tell

And then quite suddenly I met you

And I dreamed of gay amours

At dawn I woke up singing

Sentimental overtures

This heart of mine

Is gaily dancing now

I taste the wine

Of real romancing now

Somehow this crazy world

Has taken on a wonderful design

As long as life endures

It's yours, this heart of mine

Somehow this crazy world

Has taken on

A wonderful design

As long as life endures

It's yours

This heart of mine
