THREE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS AT THE EXACT SAME TIIME
where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your LIFE
Then by all means lead the way
NUMBER ONE
I'm a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious

it's a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler?
My sister
He's after me because I'm a Schuyler sister

It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance

He's a bit of a flirt, but I'mma give it a chance
I asked about his fam'ly, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance
He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants
Handsome, boy does he know it
Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is
Helpless
And I know she is
Helpless
And her eyes are just
Helpless
And I realize
