There It Is Again
- (Billy.) Fiddlers are playing and dancers are swaying in close embrace,
- (Girls.) Close embrace.
- (Billy.) Bright eyes are yearning and soft fire is burning in each fair face.
- (Girls.) Each fair face.
- (Billy.) But though they're comely, you stand around glumly
- With gloom that is utter and stare at them dumbly.
- There it is again
- There it is again
- It's the tune that you adore,
- That you've danced before on the ballroom floor
- There it is again,
- And it fills you with despair.
- For the orchestra's playing your favorite dance
- And your favorite girl's not there.
- (Sally.) You miss her sadly for you love her madly But never mind,
- (Girls.) Never mind.
- (Sally.) Seek consolation that recommendation Is wise you'll find.
- (Girls.) Wise you'll find.
- (Sally.) As you can't get her, don't stop to reget her,
- But take someone else you will find it much better.
- There it is again
- There it is again
- She's not there whom you adore,
- But there's plenty more on the ballroom floor
- There it is again,
- There's no need for you to care.
- For the orchestra's playing your favorite dance
- And a lot of nice girl's are there.
