（Alright Meg take 5girls take it one more time）
Bathing beauty on the beach
Very nice Meg
Do you think so mother really
You've come a long way since the beginning of the season
Does he agree
It's been three months he never comes to see the show
Even a word from him just one
You may get more than that
He has been composing again late at night
Not this cheap Vaudeville trash something glorious
For for me
Continue to work hard
Make yourself useful to him
Mother
Patience Gustave first I must find the stage manager
My dressing room the musical director
Then we'll go look for our friend and go see the island
I'm sure he'll send for you when he's ready
Well excuse me miss would you mind
Heaven help me could it be
No it couldn't possibly
Sorry do I
Yes I think you do
Have we
Go on take a guess
Wait it can't be is it
Yes
Oh my God I can't believe it's you
Look at you Christine
Regal as a queen and beautiful
Meg and you as well
I could hardly tell it's you
My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here old friend
After all this time
So glad you came
You look sublime
You look the same
My sweet old friend
Never thought we'd meet old friend
Look at you a star
And you a wife
And isn't life a splendid thing
And here we are
To see the sights
And sing
To sing
And of course as a treat for my son
Meg meet Gustave
Who hired you to sing here
You
It can't be you
Is this a jest
How can this be
We've come to work
At whose request
The contract's here
I want to see
My God the price
It's rather high
Why it's absurd
Oh yes I know
Inform your boss
That by the by
The fee goes up
Or else we go
My dear old friend
Here's how things appear old friend
He who pays the bill
Times two or three
Be sure he will
And handsomely
And dear old friend
Now that we are clear old friend
That's all very well but till you're gone
You'll wait upon my boss'whim
Ah yes your boss and who is that
It's him
Sorry did I hear you right
Here to sing
Tomorrow night
I'm afraid there must be some mistake
You can't be performing
Mainly dear 'cause so am I
Why
I'm in fact the star for heaven's sake
What are you to sing
Just one little thing an aria
Please you needn't fret
I'm sure you will get your due
Him
That's what I said
You work for him
Now so do you
And my poor wife
We thought him dead
She'll be appalled
Unless she knew
Darling please are you alright
（Tell me now that music who was its creator ）
Darling please don't squeeze so tight
（Something's going on here I'll deal with you later）
Did you know
How could I know
Why would they come
Why won't they go
My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here old friend
Speaking as your host
As an artist
What a surprise
To say the least
Yes dear old friend
That's a happy tear old friend
I can't conceal try though I may
The way I feel so I pretend
I'm sure it's clear
To such a dear old friend
You mustn't stay
Why would I leave
Why are we here
Don't play naive
What dear old friends
Don't we all live here old friends
Nothing has been changed
And never will
Just rearranged
And yet we're still
Such grand old friends
Such devoted and old friends
Words cannot suggest
What's in my heart
And for the rest
Why even start
My dear old friends
So much longer near old friends
Back again at last
When everyone
Is doing great
Won't this be fun
With dear old friends
Utterly sincere old friends
Honey break a leg
Madame good day
Enjoy your stay
Hope it extends
So glad you're here
A lovely dear old friend
Old friend
Gustave Gustave Gustave
Must we always be chasing after the boy
I promise you when I find him
No I will look for him
Break's over mate back to work
