Dainty June and Her Farmboys

Farmboys
Extra!
Extra!
Hey, look at
The headline
Historical news
Is being made
Extra!
Extra!
They’re drawing
A red line
Around the biggest scoop
Of the decade
A barrel of charm
A fabulous thrill
The biggest little headline
In vaudeville
Presenting
In person
That 5' 2″
Bundle of dynamite
Dainty… June
(:drum roll:)
June
Hello, everybody!
My name is June!
What’s yours?
(:music playing:)
I have a moo cow
A new cow
A true cow
Named Caroline
Louise
Moo, moo, moo, moo
June
She’s an extra-special
Friend of mine
Louise
Moo, moo, moo, moo
June
I like everything
About her fine
Louise
Moo, moo
Moo, moo
June
She likes to moo in
The moonlight
When the moody moon
Appears
And when she moos in
The moonlight
Gosh, it’s moosic
To my ears
She’s so moosical
She loves a man cow
A tan cow
Who can cow her
With a glance
Louise
Moo, moo
Moo, moo
June
When he winks at her
She starts to dance
Louise
Moo, moo, moo, moo
June
It’s what grown-ups call
A real romance
Louise
Moo, moo, moo, moo
June
But if we moooved
To the city
Or we settled
By the shore
She’d make the mooove
'cause she
Loves me more
(:music ends:)
Woman
Thank you very much
That’s all
Rose
But we have a great finish
Woman
I’m sure
But mr.
Grantziger--
Rose
Ah… hit it!
(:music playing:)
Farmboys
Broadway
Broadway
We miss it so
We’re leaving soon
And taking June
To star her in a show
Bright lights
White lights
Rhythm and romance
The train is late
So while we wait
We’re gonna do
A little dance
June
Broadway
Broadway
How great you are
I’ll leave the farm
With all its charm
To be a Broadway star
Bright lights
White lights
Where the neons glow
My bag is packed
I’ve got my act
So all aboard
C’mon, let’s go
Farmboys
Let’s go
(:train whistle blowing:)
June
Wait!
Stop the train
Stop the music
Stop everything!
I can’t go to Broadway
With you
Farboy
Why not, dainty June?
June
Because…
I’m staying here
With Caroline, my favorite cow!
Farmboys
Yay!
Yay!
(:playing the stars
And stripes forever:)
(:music ends:)
