Twin Soliloquies - Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers

Wonder how I’d feel

Living on a hillside

Looking on an ocean

Beautiful and still

This is what I need

This is what I’ve longed for

Someone young and smiling

Climbing up my hill

We are not alike

Probably, I bore him

He’s a cultured Frenchman

I’m a little hick

Younger men than I

Officers and doctors

Probably pursue her

She could have her pick

Wonder why I feel

Jittery and jumpy

I’m like a schoolgirl

Waiting for a dance

Can I ask her now?

I am like a schoolboy

What will be her answer?

Do I have a chance?
