In this show-tune in search of a show, the narrator sings the praises of the girl who has transformed him into a lover and a dancer.

lyrics

FINE AND DANDY
Emerald eyes and hair so curly
She stays up late and rises early
That’s the scoop on my girl Shirley
It’s just something words cannot convey
My love for her grows deeper day by day

She has turned my heart to jelly
Now I know just why Gene Kelly
Sang and danced with his umbrelly
It’s just something words cannot explain
But here I am dancing in the rain

CHORUS Milk and honey, silk and
money
Every day is fine and dandy
The final word on our love story
Everything is hunky-dory
Fine and dandy, hunky-dory, yeah

BRIDGE
Hands clappin’, toes tappin’
Even got my fingers snappin’
I can pass for Mister Fred Astaire
Watch me now, I can dance on air
And it’s all her fault
My heart keeps doin’ a somersault
She’s my rhumba samba rose
Thanks to her I’m Mister Twinkletoes

Days were dull, nights were duller
Now they play in technicolour
I can’t help but whoop and holler
It’s just something words cannot express
Now I’ve found the key to happiness

CHORUS Milk and honey, silk and
money
Everything is fine and dandy
The final word on our love story
Everything is hunky-dory
Fine and dandy, hunky-dory, yeah
