Sheldon Harnick - Good Morning, Good Day lyrics

[ARPAD] Good morning [SIPOS] Good day [ARPAD] How are you this beautiful day? Isn't this a beautiful morning? [SIPOS] Very [ARPAD] Hey, Sipos, how's this? [SIPOS] That's an awfully elegant pose. But is all that elegance necessary? [ARPAD: SPEAKING] And why not? I represent Maraczek's, don't I? We're not a butcher shop or a hardware store. We're a parfumerie. And that means we're... we're... [SIPOS] We're stylish [ARPAD] That's it! [SIPOS] With a quiet dignity [ARPAD] Yes! And we get the tilt of our hats right [SIPOS] That's right [ARPAD] When I ride my bike, people see what Maraczek's like. So I think it's very important that I look my best [SIPOS: SPEAKING] And, uh, how many people have you run over today? [ARPAD: SPEAKING] Not one [SIPOS: SPEAKING] Well, it's early [ARPAD: SPEAKING] Here comes Miss Ritter [SIPOS] Ah [ARPAD: SPEAKING] She spent the night with Mr. Kodaly [SIPOS: SPEAKING] Again? [ARPAD: SPEAKING] They always kiss goodbye at the newsstand. Then, she walks around the block to make us think she's been home [ILONA] Good morning [ARPAD & SIPOS] Good day [ILONA] How are you this glorious day? Have you seen a lovelier morning? [ARPAD & SIPOS] Never [ILONA] It's too nice a day, to be inside shuffling soap. I have no more energy whatsoever [SPEAKING] Anybody mind if I take the day off? Arpad, why aren't you old enough to take me away from all this? [ARPAD: SPEAKING] I'm old enough [ILONA: SPEAKING] Well, then marry me, and I'll quit my job. No... I'm afraid you're not really quite old enough [ARPAD: SPEAKING] It won't be long, though. I'm catching up. You know, Miss Horvath always used to say I'd get to be 35 before you ever did [SIPOS: SPEAKING] Ah, Mr. Kodaly [KODALY] Good morning [ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA] Good day [KODALY] How are you this radiant day? What a rare, magnificent morning [ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA] Is it? [KODALY] Good morning, my dear. How are you this ravishing day? Do you know you've never looked more exquisite? [ILONA] Thank you, kind sir [KODALY: SPEAKING] What a lovely dress [ARPAD: SPEAKING] Same one she had on yesterday, Mr. Kodaly [SIPOS: SPEAKING] Well, if it isn't Mr. Nowack [GEORG] Good morning [ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA & KODALY] Good day [GEORG] Isn't that a beautiful sky? What a perfect sample of summer weather. It's too nice a day, to be indoors counting out change. What a waste of holiday weather, all together, let's all run away [ILONA] Wouldn't it be something if we all took off from work? [SIPOS] Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk? [ARPAD] Why not have a picnic? [SIPOS] I could bring my wife's preserves [KODALY] Champagne might be nice with hot hors d'oeuvres! [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] It's too nice a day [ILONA & KODALY] It's too nice a day [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORGE] To be stuck inside of a store [ILONA & KODALY] To be stuck inside of a store [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] We could all be getting a... [ILONA & KODALY] We could all be getting a... [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] Suntan [ILONA & KODALY] Suntan [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] It's so nice a day [ILONA & KODALY] It's so nice a day [ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG] To be dozing under a tree [ILONA & KODALY] To be dozing under a tree [SIPOS] Then we'll all be out of a job [ILONA] If it costs that much to get suntanned [SIPOS] I'll stay untanned [KODALY] Pale, but solvent [ARPAD] A picnic... [ALL] A picnic... Ah... oh, well
