1.LES GIRLS
Performed by Gene Kelly
'Round the map I've been a dancer
From New Jersey to Japan,
And if not a perfect prancer
I'm at least a tip-top travelin' man,
Yes, I've played ad infinitum
Ev'ry mountain, ev'ry coast,
For each country has the item
That I enjoy the most
Les Girls, Les Girls,
There's no doubt about it,
I just love Les Girls!
Les Girls, Les Girls,
No wonder I shout it,
I worship Les Girls!
Ah, what charms they disclose
Fiom their hats to their hose,
From the tips of their toes up to their curls.
I simply adore,
And ev'ry day more,
Les Girls,
Les Girls,
Les Girls.

3.ÇA, C'EST L'AMOUR
Performed by Taina Elg
When suddenly you sight
Someone for whom you yearn,
Ça, c'est l'amour.
And when to your delight
She loves you in return,
Ça, c'est l'amour.
Then dawns a dreary day,
Your darling goes away
And all is over, you are sure.
But, oh, when she returns
And loves you as before,
You take her in your lonely arms
And want her even more,
Ça, c'est l'amour,
Ça, c'est l'amour.

5.WHY AM I SO GONE (ABOUT THAT GAL)
Performed by Gene Kelly
I've always had both feet on the ground before,
But lately I've been foolish enough to fall
For a doll I only wish I did not adore,
'Cause she isn't my type at all.
I'm crazy for a baby that I can't forget,
This baby is a blonde, I like 'eh jet-brunette--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
I go for hair that's curly,
Hers is strictly straight,
The color of her lipstick is my favorite hate--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
To ask her out to dinner I'd be more inclined
But she's got one terrible flaw--
She eats a lot of veg'tables of ev'ry kind
And all of 'em raw!
Her body is a poem when she does a dance
But not for anybody seekin' hot romance--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
Each time I say hello, she always says goodbye,
She wants to be alone, I want to multiply--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
To sit with her and neck with her
Would be so nice
If I only could find a way to melt the ice--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
Her clo'es at any supper club are much too plain,
I'm for fancy satin and silk,
And when I ask the waiter for his best champagne,
She hollers for milk!
Yet ev'ry time she's near me I begin to ache,
"Espeshly" if she socks me when I'm on the make--
Oh, why am I so gone about that gal?
