original london cast of lady in the dark - girl of the moment lyrics

[ensemble]
hip, hip! hip, hip!
liza elliott!

oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year—
oh, girl of the moment
you’re my moment every moment of the time

oh, girl of the moment
with the light in your eyes
and the sun in your hair
and the rose in your cheeks
and the laugh in your voice—
oh, girl of the moment
in a moment you could make my life sublime

in all my flights of fancy
your image i drew—
i look at you and can see
that fancy come true

oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year—
oh, girl of the moment
you’re my moment every time
[fanfares.]

oh goodness, oh gracious!
our minds are capacious
but what in the world does this mean?
although we are partial
to men that are martial
what reason brings you on the scene?

[marine, spoken]
i bring a message for miss liza elliott.

[liza, spoken]
from?

[marine, spoken]
the president of the united states.

[ensemble]
oh goodness, oh gracious!
our minds are capacious
but what in the world does this mean?
direct from the white house
he calls at this night house
one cannot say this is routine
[liza, spoken]
and?

[marine, spoken]
the president requests—

[liza, spoken]
yes?

[marine, spoken]
that for the national unity—

[liza, spoken]
yes?

[marine, spoken]
for the furtherance of goodwill—

[liza, spoken]
yes?

[marine, spoken]
for the advancement of cultural achievement–

[ensemble, spoken]
yes?
[marine, spoken]
your portrait be painted and your likeness used on the new three+cent stamp.

[liza, spoken]
oh, how really lovely!

[ensemble]
oh, how thrilled she ought to be
at that, there’s none so fair as she

[liza, spoken]
who is to paint me, and where?

[marine, spoken]
i am to paint you—and here!

[ensemble]
oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year
oh, girl of the moment
you’re my moment every moment of the time

in all my flights of fancy
your image i drew—
i look at you and can see
that fancy come true

oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year—
oh, girl of the moment
you’re my moment every time

[marine, spoken]
it’s finished. the portrait is painted.

[ensemble]
of beauty untainted
the portrait is painted
the portrait the nation awaits
oh, please, sir—unveil it!
and when we can mail it
to friends in the forty+eight states?

[liza]
is it impressionistic?
is it american primitive?
this work of art he’s done
is it pointillistic?
is it surrealistic?
or is it a wpa+ish one?

[ensemble]
is it impressionistic? (of beauty untainted the portrait is painted)
is it surrealistic? (the portrait the nation awaits)
this work of art (oh, please sir, unveil it)
he’s done? (and when can we mail it, and when can we mail it)
please, sir, unveil it (and when can we mail it)
please, sir, unveil it (and when can we mail it)
please, sir, unveil it (and when can we mail it)
and when we can mail it
to friends in the forty+eight states?

[pierre, spoken]
ladies and gentlemen, my little establishment tonight becomes a shrine of historic importance.

[beekman]
the portrait painted on these premises
promises to produce
a popular period of peace and prosperity
that probably will be prolonged
to perpetuity

[ensemble]
oh, how thrilled she ought to be
at that, there’s none so fair as she

[liza, shrieking]
no!

[woman 1]
it looks like liza

[man 1]
but is it liza?

[woman 2]
the looks of liza

[man 2]
the size of liza

[ensemble]
but if it’s liza
why is liza
so un+liza+like?

[marine]
i painted liza
it must be liza

[women]
the looks of liza

[men]
the size of liza

[ensemble]
if she is liza
and she is liza
what is liza really like?
what is liza really like?
what is liza really like?
what is liza really like?

oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year—
oh, girl of the moment
every moment was a waste of precious time!

oh, girl of the moment
with the light in your eyes
and the sun in your hair
and the rose in your cheeks
and the laugh in your voice—
oh, girl of the moment
from this moment to the heights no more you’ll climb

[men]
my dreams are torn asunder
your image i drew
i see you now and wonder
what i saw in you

[ensemble]
oh, girl of the moment
with the smile of the day
and the charm of the week
and the grace of the month
and the looks of the year—
oh, girl of the moment
where’s the girl that was sublime?
