1992 studio cast of lady, be good! - end of a string lyrics

[women]
love is a gamble
if you scramble
for the very first man who comes along
don’t be a+flutter
bread your b+tter
he may be the worst man who comes along

a chance for romance is meager
when a maiden is too eager
she may lose the one big leaguer
falling for the first man who comes along
the proper angle
is to let them dangle
is to let them dangle on a string
and have aplenty
really, ten or twenty
really, ten or twenty is the thing

but here tonight, with the moon so bright
and the music in the air
i very much fear, the first cavalier
can win this lady fair
but here tonight, with the moon so bright
and the music in the air
i very much fear, the first cavalier
can win this lady fair
[men]
love is a gamble
if you scramble
but we’ll take the first girl who comes along
we’ll do our duty
to each cutie
and we’ll take the first girl who comes along

on with the dancing
flirting and romancing
flirting and romancing so sublime
let’s throw all care off
and begin to pair off
and begin to pair off—now’s the time

[ensemble]
someone waits for me
wonder who he / she will be
on the end of a string
maybe fred or ned (maybe chloe or jo)
teddy or jed (floey or zoe)
on the end of a string
if full of pep, he’ll / she’ll find a peppy partner in me
i want to step and step until it’s way after three
oh, someone waits for me
wonder who he / she will be
on the end of my string
[josephine, spoken]
h+llo, everybody

[daisy, spoken]
h+llo, jo
this is a great party

[josephine, spoken]
well, daisy, who’ve you got on your line?

[daisy, spoken]
bertie bassett

[josephine, spoken]
bertie bassett?
i’m surprised at you

[daisy, spoken]
i’m trying to be a good influence
i admit he’s a pretty desperate case

[bertie, spoken]
i say, daisy, about this punch—

[josephine, spoken]
what about the punch, mr. bassett?
[bertie, spoken]
well, of course i know it’s gasoline
but what have you put in it?

[daisy, spoken]
oh, jo—

[josephine, spoken]
i see he’s drinking just as badly as ever
really, this is intolerable

[daisy, spoken]
oh, bertie
and you promised me
if i brought you to this party you would behave yourself
you said you wanted me to help you reform

[bertie, spoken]
i do, duckie, i do
but i don’t want to reform too darn fast
it might make you lose interest
if there wasn’t something about me for you to pick on

[daisy, spoken]
don’t worry, i’ll always find something
and believe me, reforming you is going to be a lifelong job

[bertie, spoken]
and as long as you keep working at it, i’ll know that you love me
