No, No, Nanette Ensemble - Finaletto Act II

〈BOYS & GIRLS〉
What a peach of a girl
She is charming
She is sweet, she is swank
She is swell
You can bet Nanette
Was the pride and pet
Of the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel

〈SUE, spoken〉
Nanette, what are you doing here?

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
Well, you see, I spent the night in Trenton with my grandmother.

〈SUE, spoken〉
She lives in Omaha

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
No, the other one

〈SUE, spoken〉
She lives in Omaha

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
She went to her great reward ten years ago
〈SUE, spoken〉
Well, uh, I, uh-
Oh, it's no use, I have to tell the truth. I spent the night in Atlantic City.

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
Oh, no, Nanette.

〈BOYS & GIRLS〉
No, No, Nanette
You told a lie

〈Tom, spoken〉
How could you?

〈PAULINE, spoken〉
But I acted as her chaperone.

〈SUE, spoken〉
Pauline, pack Nanette's bags and take her back to New York on the next train.

〈NANNETTE, spoken〉
No, no.

〈SUE, spoken〉
Yes, yes, Nanette
〈BOYS & GIRLS〉
Yes, yes, Nanette
And now goodbye

〈SUE, spoken〉
Lucille.

〈Lucille, spoken〉
Sue.

〈SUE, spoken〉
You're my best friend.

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
And you're mine.

〈SUE, spoken〉
There's something I must tell you. Why should you get an anonymous letter or overhear it in a powder room?

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
What is it?

〈SUE, spoken〉
Well, your husband has been philandering with those three lovely girls, especially the big one.

〈TOM, spoken〉
That's a lie!
〈BILLY, spoken〉
Shh! There's ten thousand in it.

〈TOM, spoken〉
Well, I mean that's not a lie.

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
Tom.

〈TOM, spoken〉
Yes?

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
Get my bags. I'm going to stay at the Hotel Traymore.

〈TOM, spoken〉
Right.

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
And as for you, Billy:

〈LUCILLE〉
You can dance with any girl at all
Just forget me
And act as though
You never met me

〈BILLY, spoken〉
Lucille, do you really think I'd:

〈BILLY〉
Show those ladies every step I know?
Just raise Hades till they tingle
Or mingle till they think I'm single?

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
Tom.

〈TOM, spoken〉
Hands off me, woman.

〈NANETTE, spoken〉
He called me "woman"!

〈TOM, spoken〉
And only yesterday:

〈TOM〉
I confessed to the breeze
"I loved you"
Told the birds and the bees
Your name

〈LUCILLE, spoken〉
Come, Tom.

〈PAULINE, spoken〉
Come, N. Back to little old New York.

〈SUE, spoken〉
Jimmy!

〈JIMMY, spoken〉
Oh, there you are. I've been looking high and low for you.

〈SUE, spoken〉
Have you any idea what's been going around here?

〈JIMMY, spoken〉
None, dearest. All I can tell you is:

〈JIMMY〉
I want to be happy

〈FlORA, BETTY & WINNIE〉
But he can't be happy

〈ALL〉
Till we are all happy too
