Lyrics #2 Musicals, The Post Golden Age

Belt that song! Bring on the romance! Big screen Hollywood films! Big name composers Leonard Bernstein and Henry Mancini, big name choreographeres, big name stars, Barbra Streisand, Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, Shirley MacLaine, Dick Van Dyke
This is admittedly American-centric
This would be so much more fun and easier if small audio snippets could be the hints!

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match / Find me a find, catch me a catch
You coaxed the blues right out of the horn ____ / You charmed the husks right off ot the corn ____ / You got the banjos strumming and plunking out a tune to beat the band
In this life one thing counts, in the bank, large amounts / I'm afraid these don't grow on trees / You've got to pick a pocket or two
The minute you walked in the joint / I could see you were a man of distinction / A real big spender
If a lady in Iran can / If a shady African can / If a Jap with a slap of her fan can / Baby, you can ___ ___ too.
It's May, the lusty month of May / That darling month when everyone throws self-control away / It's time to do a wretched thing or two / And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue
To dream the impossible dream / To fight the unbeatable foe / To bear with unbearable sorrow / To run where the brave dare not go
Moon River, wider than a mile / I'm crossing you in style someday / Oh, dream maker, You heartbreaker / Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Put on your Sunday clothes, there's lots of world out there / Get out the brilliantine and dime cigars / We're gonna find adventure in the evening air / Girls in white In a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars!
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound / A buck or a pound, A buck or a pound / Is all that makes the world go around / That clinking, clanking sound / Can make the world go 'round
If a girl isn't pretty Like a Miss Atlantic City / ll she gets from life is pity and a pat / Kindly name a star who hasn't won / A contest or a pageant? If she hasn't, she just never gets to bat
Try to remember the kind of September / When life was slow and oh, so mellow / Try to remember the kind of September / When grass was green and grain so yellow
I'm a girl, and by me that's only great! / I am proud that my silhouette is curvy / That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait / With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.
You're sleek as a thoroughbred / Your seats are a featherbed / You’ll turn everybody's head today / We'll glide on our motor trip / With pride in our ownership / The envy of all we survey
We're clearly soldiers i petticoats /And dauntless crusaders for women's votes / And though we adore men individually / We agree that as a group they're rather stuuupid
You'll be swell, you'll be great / Starting here, starting now / Honey, everything's coming up roses
Rainbows on roses and whiskers on kittens / Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
If growing up means / It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree / I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up / Not me!

Thank you for taking the quiz! It's not so much learning it's watching the musicals themselves. Singin' in the Rain, Mary Poppins, Mame. My first musical that really hit me was West Side Story. Then in the 70s they got more reflective of activism, what with Vietnam, feminism, etc.
