friars club tribute to barbra streisand - harold arlen lyrics
[intro: stanley adams]
good evening, ladies and gentlemen
the warm and close relationship between the songwriter and the singer
is traditional
it has never been better evidenced than the presence here tonight
of several great ascap composers
to join in the tribute to a shining star, barbra streisand
now each one of them has something to say
and may i introduce them to you
george bernard shaw once said that h*ll was filled with musical amateurs
that remark alone assures harold arlen a place in heaven
[verse 1: harold arlen]
i’m gonna love you like n0body’s loved you
come ray or come stark
my brooklyn princess who eats her cheese blintzes
above central park
travels with her jason
to the chic paris salons
then gets a new face on that is not quite british
but beautifully yiddish
[verse 2: harold arlen]
she overcame me with clothes c*ckamamie
from bergdorf and klein’s
she broke all records, including my records
but not jule styne’s
her days will always be sunny
but chunk full of taxable money
but i’m with you, brünnhilde
i’m with you rain or shine
