Song: Singin’ in the rain
I'm singing in the rain,
Just singing in the rain.
What a glorious feelin'!
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above.
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain.
I have a smile on my face.
I’ll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin', singin' in the rain.
Dancin’ in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

Song: Good Morning!
Good morning, good morning
We’ve talked the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you !
Good morning, good morning
It’s great to stay up late
Good mornin’, good mornin’ to you!
When the band began to play
The stars were shining bright
Now the milkman’s on his way
It’s too late to say goodnight
So good mornin’, good mornin’
Sunbeams will soon shine through
Good morning, good morning to
Good morning, good morning to you
And you and you and you !
Good mornin’, good mornin’
We’ve gabbed the whole night through
Good morning to you !
Nothing could be grander
Than to be in Louisiana
In the morning, in the morning
It’s great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you!
Might be just as zippy
If we were in Mississippi
When we left the movie show
The future wasn’t bright
But came the dawn, the show goes on
And I don’t wanna say goodnight
So say good morning, good morning to you
Rainbows are shining through
Good mornin’, good mornin’
Bonjour !……Buenos dias !….muchas frias!
Guten morgen ! guten morgen !

OTHERS SONGS IN THE MUSICAL SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
(Source : http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/singinintherain/)
FIT AS A FIDDLE
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor
ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU
Debbie Reynolds & Girly Chorus
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love.
I can jump over the moon up above.
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
Kathy and Girls:
All I do is dream of you
The whole night through
With the dawn, I still go on
And dream of you
You're every thought
You're everything
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring.
I haven't a worry, I haven't a care,
I feel like a feather that's floating on air,
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
Soon all the church bells will be ringing
And I'll march with Ma and Pa.
All the church bells will be ringing,
With a hey naughty-knotty and a hotcha-cha
darling.
Hi, diddle-diddle, my baby's OK,
Ask me a riddle, I'm waiting to say
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
Soon all the church bells will be ringing
And I'll march with Ma and Pa.
All the church bells will be ringing,
With a hey naughty-knotty and a hotcha-cha
darling.
And were there more
Than twenty-four hours a day,
They'd be spent in sweet content
Dreamin' away
When skies are grey
When skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you
All I do the whole day through dream of you.
It's cat's meow!
Hi, diddle-diddle, my baby's OK,
Ask me a riddle, I'm waiting to say
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you!
MAKE 'EM LAUGH
Donald O'Connor
Cosmo:
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
(Ha ha!)
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"
You start off by pretending
You're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'till they're
Giggling all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the
face
Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite
elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to
eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know... all the...wants..?
My dad...
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines
Make 'em... Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh My
grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke
But give it plenty of hoke
Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall
But a wall
Split a seam
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
Ah ha ha ha ha ha há
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
Beautiful girl, you’re a lovely picture
Beautiful girl, you’re a gorgeous mixture
Of all that lies, under the big blue skies
My heart cries...
Beautiful girl, you’re a dazzling icon
Beautiful girl, I could never ----[Dialogue]
If I have you making my dream come true
They may be blondes or brunettes
They are hard to resist
You surpass them like a queen
You’ve got those lips
That were meant to be kissed
And you’re over sweet sixteen
Oh, Beautiful girl, what a gorgeous creature
Beautiful girl, let me call a preacher
What can I do
But give my heart to you
[spoken]
(A beautiful girl is like a great work of art.
She’s stylish, she’s chic and she also is smart.
For lounging in her boudoir, this simple plain
pajama.
Her cloak his trimmed with monkey fur to lend a
dash of drama.
Anyone for tennis? This will make them cringe,
And you’ll knock’em dead at dinner if your gown
just drips with fringe.
You simply can’t be too modest at the beach or at
the pool.
And in summer time it’s organdy, that’ll keep you
fresh and cool.
You’ll never guess what loud applauses this
cunning hat receives,
And you'll never dream the things that you could
hide within these sleeves.
A string of pearls with a suit of tweed, it started
quite a riot.
And if you must wear fox to the opera, dame a
fashion says dye it.
Black is best when you are in court)
The judge will be impressed,
But white is right when you’re a bride
And you'll want to be well dressed.
Beautiful girl, for you I’ve got a passion
Beautiful girl, you’re my queen of fashion
I’m in a whirl, over my beautiful girl.
YOU WERE MEANT TO ME
Gene Kelly
Don:
Life was a song,
You came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared to think you'd care
This is what I'd say to you
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one
You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me...
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me...
MOSES
Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses supposes erroneously
And Moses, he knows his toeses aren't roses
As Moses supposes his toeses to be
Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses supposes erroneously
A Rose is a rose
A Nose is a nose
A Toese is a toese
Hupidubidu! (ehehehehe)
Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses supposes erroneously
And Moses, he knows his toeses aren't roses
As Moses supposes his toeses to be

BROADWAY RHYTHM BALLET
Gene Kelly and Chorus
Don:
Don't bring a frown to old Broadway
Ah, you got a clown on Broadway
Your troubles there, they're out of style
'Cause Broadway always wears a smile.
A million lights, they flicker there
A million hearts beat quicker there
No skies are gray on that great white way,
That's the Broadway Melody!
Oh, that Broadway rhythm.
When I hear that happy beat
I feel like dancin' down the street
In that Broadway rhythm writhing, beating
rhythm...
Chorus:
Gotta dance!
Don:
Gotta dance!

Oh, that Broadway rhythm...
Don:

YOU ARE MY LUCKY STAR
Debbie Reynolds & Gene Kelly
Kathy and Don:
You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes at me
They were gleaming
Beaming
I was star struck
You're all my lucky charm
I'm lucky in your arms
You've opened Heaven's portal
Here on earth for this poor mortal
You are my lucky star...
