Good Morning, Good Day - Simon Connolly, Barry James, Tracie Bennett

Good morning!

Good day!

How are you this beautiful day?

Isn’t this a beautiful morning?

Very!

Hey, Sipos, how’s this…

That’s a very elegant pose,

But is all that elegance necessary?

ARPAD (speaking): And why not?

I represent Maraczek, don’t I?

We’re not a butchershop or a hardware store--we're a parfumerie!

And that means we’re… we’re…

SIPOS (singing):

We’re stylish.

That’s it!

With a quiet dignity.

Yes, and we get the tilt of our hats right.

That’s right!

When I ride my bike,

People see what Maraczek’s like,

So I think it’s very important that I look my best.

Good morning!

SIPOS & ARPAD:

Good day!

How are you this glorious day?

Have you seen a lovelier morning?

SIPOS & ARPAD:

Never!

It’s too nice a day to be inside shuffling soap;

I have no more energy whatsoever.

Good morning!

SIPOS, ARPAD & ILONA

Good day!

How are you this radiant day?

What a rare magnificent morning!

SIPOS & ARPAD:

Is it?

KODALY (to ILONA):

Good morning, my dear!

How are you this ravishing day?

Do you know, you’ve never looked more exquisite.

Thank you, kind sir.

KODALY (speaking): What a lovely dress!

ARPAD: It’s the same one she had on yesterday, Mr. Kodaly.

GEORG (singing):

Good morning!

THE OTHERS:

Good day!

Isn’t that a beautiful sky?

What a perfect sample of summer weather!

It’s too nice a day to be indoors counting out change.

What a waste of holiday weather!

All together,

Let’s all run away.

Wouldn’t it be something if we all took off from work?

Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk!

Why not have a picnic?

I could bring my wife’s preserves.

Champagne might be nice with hot hors d’oeuvres!

It’s too nice a day to be stuck inside of a store.

We could all be getting our summer suntan!

It’s so nice a day to be dozing under a tree--

And we’ll all be out of a job--

If it costs that much to get suntanned--

I’ll stay untanned.

Pale, but solvent.

A picnic--a picnic--

Oh, well.
