ALL [SINGING]:
See the showboat

Cotton Blossom
Will you go?
Are you coming to the show?
‘Twill be delightful
Right, right, rightfully they say

Don’t you want to see the show?
Captain Andy has gathered a troupe in the
Greatest of dramas and jolly comedies
Stephen Baker
The handsomest leading man
And beautiful Julie LaVerne as well
Cotton Blossom, Cotton Blossom
Captain Andy’s floating show
Thrills and laughter, concert sfter
Everybody’s sure to go
Leave the lumber in the sawmill
Leave the cotton on the stalk
Make believe
Our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss
Or two or three
Might as well make believe
I love you
For to tell the truth
I do
OI’ man tiver
That ol’ man river
He must know somethin’
But don’t say nothin’
He just keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’
Along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in
Jail
I gets weary
And sick of trying
I’m tired of living
And scared of dying
But ol’ man river
He just keeps rolling
Along
I’ll go my way by myself
Like a bird on the wing
