I Love Music
[JIMMY, spoken]
We might not agree, on all the things that we like, but we definitely agree on the things that we love.. For example, mountains, I like

[FRANCINE, spoken]
Never been!

[JIMMY, spoken]
Oh!

[JIMMY, sung]
The sea, I like

[FRANCINE, spoken]
There's nothing in the sea that wants you in there with it

[JIMMY, sung]
And lemon, in my morning cup of tea, I like

[FRANCINE, spoken]
Coffee! Black. No sugar. But..

[JIMMY, sung]
Liking is one thing, and loving is another
And I love music

[JIMMY, spoken]
And I'll prove it, I can play any instrument. See?
[JIMMY & FRANCINE, sung]
Checkers, I like (Meh)
And chess, I like (You play chess?)
And by the way, the way you wear that drеss.. (Pink? No!)
Liking is one thing, and loving is another
And I love music

[JIMMY, sung]
I lovе the flugelhorn
I love the base-basone
I think the zither and the oud are simply grand
But if you wanna see me up
Really see me happy
Put them all together in a great big band!

Biscuits, I like
And beer, I like
And bagels with a hefty double schmear, I like
Liking is one thing, and loving is another
And I love..

(What is that?)

[JIMMY, spoken]
We're simpatico
[FRANCINE, spoken]
Bells! Claves! Maracas!
Good luck!

[JIMMY]
Hey!

[JIMMY, FRANCINE & BOTH, sung]
And I love music!
I love music!
Music, is music, to why e-o-e-o-e-o is, is!
