Better Than Anything

Better than cream cheese and bagels
 Better than honey on bread
 Better than champagne and pretzels
 Better than breakfast in bed
 Better than chili rellenos
 Better than chocolate e'clairs
 Better than hothouse tomatoes
 Better than fresh Bartlett pears
 Better than dining a la carte
 Or simply gastronomic art
 Better than anything except being in love
 Better than making a million
 Better than being a queen
 Better than oil wells and gold mines
 Better than pastures of green
 Better than finding a horseshoe
 Better than losing your head
 Better than anything ever thought of
 Better than anything ever said
 Ah, ha, better than singing right out loud
 Or being, ha, spotted in a crowd
 Better than (better than anything) anything except being (except being) in love
 (Musical Interlude)
 Better than elephants, elephants are dancing
 Better than clowns on parade
 Better than peanuts and popcorn
 Better than pink lemonade
 Better than rides on the midway
 Better than seals blowing horns
 Better than men shot through cannons
 Better than fresh ears of corn
 Ah, better than balancing on a wire
 Or watching tigers jump through fire
 Better than anything except being in love
 Better than driving 'round the park
 Or watching fireflies after the dark
 Better than anything except being in love
 Hey, Diana?
 Yeah?
 Are you sure that love is even better than shopping?
 Well, there's a little sale on late floor at Barneys but it's still better
 Oh, come on, come on
 What about that thirty percent sale at Jimmy's shoes
 And Sachs Friends and Family Day? Ha?
 Still better
 Well, maybe close second
 Very close second
 Better, more better
 Better, better, better
