Charles Strouse - She's No Longer A Gypsy lyrics

[DUANE] She's no longer a gypsy She'll be leaving us soon She did the "understudy to the rescue" bit Now she's half way to the moon She's no longer a gypsy No more Equity calls She's gonna get them crazy invitations now To Truman Capote's balls [DUANE & GYPSIES] Have a beer Your last one here From this night on it's all champagne [BONNIE] The star was late And I was great! [DUANE] You got up early And pulled a Shirley MacLaine [BONNIE] I'm no longer a gypsy Put me on the marque It's out of the chorus into heaven time [GYPSIES] It should happen It should only happen God, let it happen to me She's no longer a gypsy She'll be leaving the street And she's a regular Mitzi Gaynor now Don't you love them dancing feet? Fame! Success! Autographs! Me, please, God! Who? Broadway! Hollywood! Money, money! Thank you, thank you! Me! What is it that we're living for? Applause, applause! Nothing I know brings on the glow Like sweet applause She's no longer a gypsy It's goodbye to the bunch [BONNIE] If you ever get to Beverly Hills Don't drop in for lunch [GYPSIES] Treat her nice That's our advice Just take good care of this dear girl [DUANE] I'm telling you She will come through But if she doesn't Oh, why not give me a whirl? [GYPSIES] She's no longer a gypsy Put her on the marque [BONNIE] Get to meet George Jessel at a Friars Roast [DUANE] You'll be a big fat star and have the world on toast! [GYPSIES] But don't forget your friends who love you most! It should happen to me It should happen to me It should happen to me It should happen It should happen It should happen It should happen It should, it should, it it It should It should happen to me!
