I Believe In You - Frank Loesser

FRUMP

Hello, Executive Washroom.

Oh!

Come on down.

We’re here making plans

COMPANY

Gotta stop that man

I’ve gotta stop that man cold

Or he’ll stop me

Big deal, big rocket

Thinks he has the world in his pocket

Gotta stop, gotta stop

Gotta stop that man

FRUMP

Now!

Look at him standing and staring at himself on the mirror!

FINCH

Now there you are

Yes, there’s that face

That face that somehow I trust

It may embrace you, too

Hear me say it

But say it I must

Say it I must

You have the cool clear

Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth

Yet, there’s that up turned chin

And the grin of impetuous youth

Oh, I believe in you

I believe in you

I hear the sound of good

Solid judgment whenever you talk

Yet, there’s the bold, brave spring

Of the tiger that quickens your walk

(roar, roar!)

Oh, I believe in you

I believe in you

And when my faith in my fellow man

Oh but falls apart

I’ve but to feel your hand grasping mine

And I take heart

I take heart

To see the cool clear

Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth

Yet with the slam, bang, tang

Reminiscent of gin and vermouth

Oh, I believe in you

I believe in you

MALE ENSEMBLE

Gotta stop that man

Gotta stop that man

Or he’ll stop me

Big will, big beaver

For we won’t live in front of this fever

Gotta stop, gotta stop

Gotta stop that man

FINCH

Oh, I believe in you…

COMPANY

Don’t let him be such a hero

FINCH

(ha, ha, ha)

You…

(ha, ha, ha)

You…

You!

COMPANY

Gotta stop that man!

Gotta stop him!

Stop that man!

Gotta stop him!

Gotta stop that man!
