- [calling after Frank as he's walking away] Hey, mister...? Don't you like girls?
- My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name.
He signs his checks with "x's"
But they cash them just the same.
- I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pen point, I'm number one.
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
- But they don't by pajamas, for Pistol packin' mamas
- They say that falling in love is wonderful.
It's wonderful, so they say.
And with a moon up above, it's wonderful.
It's wonderful, so they tell me.
I can't recall who said it.
I know I never read it.
I only know that falling in love is grand
And the thing that's known as romance
Is wonderful, wonderful,
In every way, So they say.
- How I felt as I fell I just can't recall.
But his arms held me fast
As it broke the fall.
And I said to my heart,
As it foolishly kept jumping
All around, I got lost,
But look what I've found.- "I Got Lost in His Arms"
- A ceremony with a bishop
who will tie the not and say,
"Do you agree to love and honor?"
Love and honor yes, but not obey.- "Old Fashioned Wedding"
- I want a wedding like the Vanderbilts had.
Everything big, not small.
If I can't have that kind of a wedding,
I don't want to be married at all.- "Old Fashioned Wedding"
- Rumors fly and they often leave without,
But you've come to the right place to find out.
Ev'rything that you've heard is really so.
I've been there once or twice and I should know.
You'll find that falling in love is wonderful,
It's wonderful, as they say.
- We'll have an old fashioned wedding,
Blessed in the good old fashioned way.
I'll vow to love you forever.
You'll vow to love and honor and obey.- "Old Fashioned Wedding"

- There's no business like show business,
Like no business I know.
Everything about it is appealing,
Everything the traffic will allow,
No where could you have that happy feeling,
When you aren't stealing that extra bow.
There's no people like show people,
They smile when they are low,
Yesterday they told you you would not go far,
That night you opened and there you are,
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star.
Let's go on with the show!- Chorus, "There's No Business Like Show Business"
