Richard Rodgers
Thinking
[DI ROSSI]
I was thinking
All of that Puccini going to waste

[LEONA]
I was thinking
Coffee and Puccini isn't my taste

[DI ROSSI]
I keep thinking
Such a fine beginning
Such a lovely evening we could spend

[LEONA]
Such a fine beginning
I keep thinking more about the end

I was thinking
Wonder what he's thinking
Not what he should

[DI ROSSI]
I was thinking
All this heavy thinking
This is not good
But think of coffee cups clinking
To a duet
We could sit drinking
See the sun set
What are you thinking?

[LEONA]
I was just thinking
What you are thinking -
Forget!

I was thinking
Tete-a-tetes for two
So often fall flat

[DI ROSSI]
I was thinking
Tete-a-tetes for one
Are flatter than that
I am thinking
This is very awkward
Frankly, you prefer that I go?

[LEONA]
This is very awkward
I am thinking
Very frankly, no
I was thinking
Why is it I get so easily hurt?

[DI ROSSI]
I was thinking
Has she noticed yet
The spot on my shirt?

But think of two of us linking
Arms in the Square
See the stars winking
Feel the night air
What are you thinking?

[LEONA]
I was just thinking
What am I going to wear?

[DI ROSSI]
And as the sun starts sinking
Night starts to fall

[LEONA]
Stars appear blinking
Gondoliers call
[BOTH]
What am I thinking?
I should be thinking
Not what I'm thinking
At all!
