I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here
[Grace]
Cecile will pick out all your clothes

[CECILE, spoken]
Blue is your best color, no red I think

[Grace]
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer

[Mrs. Greer]
(spoken)
Salts?...No, bubbles, I think

[Grace]
Annette comes in to make your bed

[Annette]
(spoken)
The silk? No the satin sheets, I think

[Annie]
I think I'm gonna like it here!

[Grace]
The swimming pool is to the left
[Annie]
(spoken)
Inside the house? Oh boy!

[Grace]
The tennis court is in the rear

[Annie]
(spoken)
I never even picked up a racket

[Grace]
Have an instructor here at noon
(spoken)
Oh, and get that Don Budge fellow if he's available

[Annie]
I think I'm gonna like it here

[Mrs. Pugh]
When you wake ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray

[Drake]
When you're through Mrs. Pugh
Comes and takes it away
[Grace & All]
No need to pick up any toys

[Annie]
(spoken)
That's okay, I haven't got any anyway

[Grace]
No finger will you lift my dear

[All]
We have but one request
Please put us to the test

[Annie]
I know I'm gonna like it here
Used to room in a tomb
Where I'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me please!

[Grace]
(spoken)
She didn't mean it
(Singing)
We've never had a little girl
[All]
We've never had a little girl

[Grace & All]
We hope you understand
Your wish is our command

(Said together)
[Annie]
I know I'm gonna like it here

[Grace & All]
We know you're gonna like it here

[All]
Welcome
