Charm Song

Now, kiddies
 A charm song is the southern belle of musicals
 It don't have to do a lick of work
 It just has to make the audience smile
 Charm song
 Nothing to it
 Charm song
 You can do it
 Take a lesson from the kid
 You'll be awfully glad you did
 Charm song
 Blithe and breezy
 Charm song
 It's so easy
 If you wanna get ahead
 It's a way to knock 'em dead
 They don't really have to laugh out loud (Ha ha ha)
 Do the charm song and tomorrow at ten there'll be a crowd for that
 Charm song
 Sell those tickets!
 Charm song
 Sticky wicket
 Belt away, I swear it'll do no harm
 To turn their heads
 Turn on the charm
 Class, how would you write a charm song
 For a musical about Fred Astaire?
 Gingerly
 Oh! Very good!
 How would you write a charm song
 For a musical about the flying Wallendas?
 I'd try it in swing time!
 You're in Boston with a slow act one
 Cut that ballad and the show will run
 On simply
 Charm songs
 Short and snappy!
 Charm songs
 Keep 'em happy
 Shoot that smile, I swear you can't go wrong
 So live and learn
 Do a good turn (Uh-huh)
 It always goes (It always goes)
 It saves most shows (It do, it do!)
 And when they head for Sardi's whistlin' right along
 They'll turn and say
 "What was that charming song?" (Charming song)
 I wouldn't kid ya!
