Only For Him / Only For You

MEG:
Jesus, what a crowd
GIRL 1:
Nervous?
MEG:
Just a bit
GIRL 1:
Kid, look who you are!
GIRL 2:
The headline act!
GIRL 1:
A major star
GIRL 2:
You’re already a hit!
(Got a match?)
MEG:
Wonder what he’ll think
GIRL 1:
(The boss?)
GIRL 2:
Ha, if he’s even here
GIRL 1:
(Honey, please, he’s here!)
GIRL 2:
And in just two days
He’ll be there tossing you bouquets
At our gala premiere
Picture it!
GIRL 1:
The cream of Manhattan!
GIRL 2:
Celebrities, millionaires!
GIRL 1:
Watching you!
MEG:
I’ll be waiting in the wing
Wound up tighter than a spring
As the house begins to dim
And I’ll practice every line
Hoping desperately to shine
Shining only for him
GIRLS:
Just imagine how they’ll cheer
At the moment you appear
MEG:
Stepping out before the scrim
Let them whoop and let them call
I won’t hear the crowd at all
GIRLS:
No, it’s only for him
MEG:
Tell me how I look
GIRL 1:
(Fine!)
MEG:
(Just fine?)
What about my hair?
GIRL 2:
(Beautiful!)
MEG:
(You swear?)
GIRL 1:
Trust me, once the boss sees
How you put that song across
GIRL 2:
Hell, he ain’t got a prayer!
MEG:
(Oh, you mean it?)
GIRLS:
You’ll stand proud into the light
GIRL 1:
Looking lovely
GIRL 2:
Burning bright
GIRLS:
All vitality and vim
MEG:
Ah-Ahh!!!
And I’ll rapturously float
Through the melody he wrote
Singing only for him
GIRLS:
And before the music dies
Up the audience will rise
Nearly bursting at the brim
And you’ll stand there in the glow
MEG:
And perhaps at last he’ll know…
GIRL 3:
(Girls, hurry up, we’re on!)
AUDIENCE MEMBERS:
Where is she?
(Look!)
The center!
(Just like in the posters!)
There!
(The ooh-la-la girl!)
ALL:
Meg Giry!
MEG:
Welcome, each and everyone
To our firmament of fun
GIRLS:
A buffet of Ballyhoo!
GIRLS/MEG:
It’s where Coney comes to play
And it’s opening today
MEG:
And it’s only for you!
GIRL 1:
And you!
GIRL 2:
And you!
GIRL 3:
And you!
GIRLS/MEG:
Entertainment day and night
Sure to dazzle and delight
MEG:
And of course we’ll be there too!
GIRLS:
Yoohoo!
GIRLS/MEG:
We’re so happy that you’re here
For this season’s big premiere
And it’s only for you!
ANNOUNCER:
(Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Meg Giry! The ooh-la-la girl! Five shows daily only
here at Phantasma! And now the aerial exoticism of the fabulous Miss Fleck!
Half bird, half woman! All for only 10 cents a ticket…)
MEG:
(How was I? Tell me!)
MADAME GIRY:
(Delightful, Meg, you were just perfect. And I say that not only as your mother,
but as your producer.)
MEG:
(Was he watching?)
MADAME GIRY:
(I'm sure he was. I’m sure he’ll have much to say about how much you’ve
progressed. By the way, it seems you have an admirer… a certain Mr. Thompson.)
MEG:
(Is he important?)
