"My Man" from "Funny Girl"

FANNY
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more

"Funny Girl" from "Funny Girl"

FANNY
Funny,
Did ya hear that?
Funny!
Yes, the guy said:
"Honey,
you're a funny girl!"
That's me,
I just keep them in stictches,
Doubled in half.
And tho' I may be all wrong for the guy,
I'm good for a laugh.
I guess it's not funny,
Life is far from sunny,
When the laugh is over,
And the joke's on you.
A girl ought to have a sense of humor.
That's one thing you really need for sure
When you're a funny girl,
The fellow said "a funny girl."
Funny,
How it ain't so funny,
Funny girl.

Fanny from "Funny Girl" by Isobel Lennart

Suppose all ya ever had for breakfast was onion rolls. Then one day, in walks (gasp) a bagel! you'd say, "Ugh, what's that?" Until you tried it! That's my problem - I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls. Nobody recognizes me! Listen, I got thirty-six expressions. Sweet as pie and tough as leather. And that's six expressions more than all those . . . Barrymores put together. Instead of just kicking me, why don't they give me a lift? Well, it must be a plot, 'cause they're scared that I got . . . such a gift! 'Cause I'm the greates star, I am by far, but no one knows it. Wait - they're gonna hear a voice, a silver flute. They'll cheer each toot, hey, she's terrific!, when i expose it. Now can't you see to look at me that I'm a natural Camille, and as Camille, I just feel, I've so much to offer. Kid, I know I'd be divine because I'm a natural cougher (coughs) - some ain't got it, not a lump. I'm a great big clump of talent! Laugh, they'll bend in half. Did you ever hear the story about the travelling salesman? A thousand jokes, stick around for the jokes. A thousand faces. I reiterate. When you're gifted, then you're gifted. These are facts, I've got no axe to grind. Ay! What are ya, blind? In all of the world so far, I'm the greatest star! No autographs, please. What? You think beautiful girls are gonna stay in style forever? I should say not! Any minute now they're gonna be out! FINISHED! Then it'll be my turn!
