3.Judy's Olio Medley:

a.(Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You
Lyrics:Joseph Mccarthy
Music:Jimmy Monaco

Dear Mr. Gable,
I am writing this to you
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
and I stutter and I stammer
every time I see you at the picture show.
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so.

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it.
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad.
But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad.
You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand, that's true
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do.
I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling.
You know you made me love you!

(dialogue)

Aw, gee, Mr. Gable, I don't wanna bother you! Guess you got a
lotta girls that tell you the same thing. And if you don't wanna
read this, well, you don't have to. But I just had to tell you
about the time I saw you in 'It Happened One Night'. That was
the first time I ever saw you, and I knew right then you were
the nicest fella in the movies! I guess it was 'cause you acted
so, well so natural like - not like a real actor at all, but
just like any fella you'd meet at shool or at a party. Then one
time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford, and I had to cry
a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her
- not 'till the end of the picture, anyway. And then one time I
saw you in person. You were making a personal appearance at the
theatre, and I was standing there when you got out of your car,
and you almost knocked me down! Oh - but it wasn't your fault!
Naw, I was in the way. But you looked at me, and you smiled.
Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it, and I cried all
the way home just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!
Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable. Honest injun. You're my
favorite actor!

(singing)

I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop.
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top,
'cause you know you made me love you.

b.For Me And My Gal
Lyrics:Edgar Leslie/Ray Goetz Music:George W.Meyer

What a beautiful day
For a wedding in May!
See the people all stare
At the loveable pair.

She's a vision of joy,
He's the luckiest boy.
In his wedding array
Hear him smilingly say:

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing,
Every Susie and Sal.
They're congregating for me and my gal,
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal.
And sometime
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
For three or four or more,
In Love-land for me and my gal.

See the relatives there
Looking over the pair!
They can tell at a glance
It's a loving romance.

It's a wonderful sight
As the families unite.
Gee! It makes the boy proud
As he says to the crowd:

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing,
Every Susie and Sal.
They're congregating for me and my gal,
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal.
And sometime
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
For three or four or more,
In Love-land for me and my gal.

(repeat chorus)

c.The Boy Next Door
Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane

The moment I saw him smile,
I knew he was just my style,
My only regret is we've never met,
Though I dream of him all the while.

But he doesn't know I exist,
No matter how I may persist,
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,
Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue
And he lives at 5133.

How can I ignore
The boy next door?
I love him more than I can say.
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me,
And he never sees me glance his way.

And though I'm heart-sore
The boy next door affection for me won't display,
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The boy next door.

I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The boy next door.

d.The Trolley Song
Lyrics:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin Music:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin

With my high starched-collar and my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head,
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley, and lost my heart
instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen so I counted to ten, then I counted to ten
again.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley, ding, ding, ding went the
bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings, from the moment I saw
him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, bump, bump, bump went the
brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings, when he smiled I
could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat, and took a seat, he said he hoped he hadn't
stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, pop, pop, pop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels, when
the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couldn't squeak, in fact you loved him so
you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer, plop, plop, plop went the
wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to leave, I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned, he stayed on with me and it was grand
just to stand
With his hand holding mine to the end of the line.
