Lyrics Perfectly Marvelous - John Benjamin Hickey feat. Natasha Richardson

I think people are people, I really do, Cliff
Don't you?
I don't think people should have to explain anything
For example, if I should paint my fingernails green oh and it just so happens I do paint them green
Well, if anyone should ask me why, I say, "I think it's pretty!"
("I think it's pretty," I reply.)
So, if anyone should ask about you and me, you have two alternatives
You can either say, "Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin."
Or you can simply tell the truth, and say:

I met this perfectly marvelous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a glass
To the start of a marvelous year
Before I knew it she called on the phone
Inviting
Next moment I was no longer alone
But sat reciting
Some perfectly beautiful verse
In my charming American style
How I dazzled her senses
Was truly no less than a crime

Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful room
And we're living together
And having a marvelous time

Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out
You're much too distracting

Distracting? No, inspiring!

She tells me perfectly marvelous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which I'll probably use
As a chapter or two in my book

And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Creation
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Of stimulation
And perfectly marvelous, too
Is her perfect agreement to be
Just as still as a mouse
While I'm giving my novel a whirl

Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invisible
Perfectly marvelous, girl

Sally, I can't afford...
Do you have any money?

A few marks, uh
Six!
Oh, God!

Oh please, Cliff, just for a day or two? Please!

I met this
Truly remarkable girl
In this really incredible town
And she skillfully managed
To talk her way in to my room

Oh, Cliff!

I have a terrible feeling I've said
A dumb thing
Besides, I've only got one narrow bed

We'll think of something
