Getting to Know You

by Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein (The King and I, 1951/1956)

It's a very ancient saying, but a true and honest thought,

That if you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught.

As a teacher I've been learning -- You'll forgive me if I boast --

And I've now become an expert on the subject I like most.

Getting to know you.

Getting to know you, Getting to know all about you.

Getting to like you, Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you, putting it my way, but nicely,

You are precisely my cup of tea.

Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy

When I am with you, getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed suddenly I'm bright and breezy?

Because of all the beautiful and new things I'm learning about you

Day by day.

It Might as Well be Spring 

by Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein (State Fair, 1945)

The things I used to like, I don't like anymore.
I want a lot of other things I've never had before.

It's just like mother says, I sit around and mope,
Pretending I am wonderful and knowing I'm a dope.

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string.

I'd say that I had spring fever, but I know it isn't spring.

I'm starry-eyed and vaguely discontented like a nightingale without a song to sing.

Oh, why should I have spring fever when it isn't even spring?

I keep wishing I were somewhere else, walking down a strange new street.

Hearing words that I have never heard from a man I've yet to meet.

I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams, I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing.

I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud Or a robin on the wing.

But I feel so gay, In a melancholy way, That it might as well be spring,

It might as well be spring.
