Lyrics Good Morning, Good Day - Simon Connolly, Barry James, Tracie Bennett

Good Morning, Good Day

Good morning!
Good day!
How are you this beautiful day?
Isn’t this a beautiful morning?
Very!
Hey, Sipos, how’s this…
That’s a very elegant pose,
But is all that elegance necessary?
ARPAD (speaking): And why not?
I represent Maraczek, don’t I?
We’re not a butchershop or a hardware store--we're a parfumerie!
And that means we’re… we’re…
SIPOS (singing):
We’re stylish.
That’s it!
With a quiet dignity.
Yes, and we get the tilt of our hats right.
That’s right!
When I ride my bike,
People see what Maraczek’s like,
So I think it’s very important that I look my best.
Good morning!
SIPOS & ARPAD:
Good day!
How are you this glorious day?
Have you seen a lovelier morning?
SIPOS & ARPAD:
Never!
It’s too nice a day to be inside shuffling soap;
I have no more energy whatsoever.
Good morning!
SIPOS, ARPAD & ILONA
Good day!
How are you this radiant day?
What a rare magnificent morning!
SIPOS & ARPAD:
Is it?
KODALY (to ILONA):
Good morning, my dear!
How are you this ravishing day?
Do you know, you’ve never looked more exquisite.
Thank you, kind sir.
KODALY (speaking): What a lovely dress!
ARPAD: It’s the same one she had on yesterday, Mr. Kodaly.
GEORG (singing):
Good morning!
THE OTHERS:
Good day!
Isn’t that a beautiful sky?
What a perfect sample of summer weather!
It’s too nice a day to be indoors counting out change.
What a waste of holiday weather!
All together,
Let’s all run away.
Wouldn’t it be something if we all took off from work?
Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk!
Why not have a picnic?
I could bring my wife’s preserves.
Champagne might be nice with hot hors d’oeuvres!
It’s too nice a day to be stuck inside of a store.
We could all be getting our summer suntan!
It’s so nice a day to be dozing under a tree--
And we’ll all be out of a job--
If it costs that much to get suntanned--
I’ll stay untanned.
Pale, but solvent.
A picnic--a picnic--
Oh, well.
