On How To Be Lovely

MAGGIE
Just listen and repeat after me

MAGGIE / (--JO--) / BOTH
On how to be lovely
(--On how to be lovely--)
You got to be happy
(--You got to be happy--)
When you can feel
Light and gay
Then you'll be lovely
As a holiday

On how to be charming
(--On how to be charming--)
You got to be merry
(--You got to be merry--)
If only to weave a spell
And you'll be lovely
As a carousel too

I (--I know you can--) show how
It's (--it's all in the--) know-how
And (--and once you know--) oh how
The world looks good to you
As it should to you

On how to be lovely
(--On how to be lovely--)
You got to be jolly
(--You got to be jolly--)
When you can be fancy-free
And flash a smile that
Folks come flocking to see

You'll be as lovely
As can be

Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo-ee
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo-ee
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo
Boo-diddly-ba-bau! Ee-

Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo-ee
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo-ee
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo
Boo-diddly-ba-bau!
(--Boo-diddly-ba-bau! --)
Boo-diddly-ba-baa-pa-daa!

Can't (--can't do it with--) make-up
You (--you've just got to--) wake up
And (--and startin' to--) take up
A life delirious
Nothing serious

On how to be lovely
(--On how to be lovely--)
You got to be cheery
(--You got to be cheery--)
I'll give you a guarantee
You don't need dough
You don't need a college degree

Make sorrow incidental
(--Let joy be monumental--)
And you'll be lovely
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo (---ee--)
Do-wee-oo
Do-wee-oo (---ee--)
You'll be as lovely
As can be
A-do-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo!
