Blind Date Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Blind Date

Fanny & chorus
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me I am shaking all over,
Shaking all over
Im a mess
Waiting wondering what Ill be thinking
When he comes walking through that door

Whatll come walking through that door
A man I never saw in my life before
Oh,
I am so nervous
I got a blind date waiting to call on me [any minute now]
I got a blind date what am I gonna see [any minute now]
Right over theres the doorway, he will be walking through
Will he be six foot eight or maybe four foot two [it could happen]

I got a blind date waiting to come around [any minute now]
Oy but Im nervous listen to my heart pound
Why do I need this headache, single is not a crime
I got a blind date
An with my luck hell be on time

I got a girlfriend shirley, who says why not [shes an idiot]
This guy is a friend from a friend of a friend she got [hello, how do you do
What an idiot]
One thing I know is shirley aint sitting on no shelf
If he was such a vow shed keep him for herself [its only natural]
She says she is hes nice and he deals in stocks [sounds good, but shes an
Idiot]
Ill bet a buck he looks like month-old lox [also and idiot]
What do I need from shirley her and her fifty cup
I got a blind date and Im praying he stands me up

Wait wait, what am I praying he stands me up, Ill stand him up. I smell a rat
Anyway. umm. Im gonna hide under the bed, hell never see me, hell walk in and look
Around, I wouldnt be there, hell go away and thats the end of that.
Perrfect!
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear
You didnt see a thing
Oeps there he is!
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet!

Blind date: rosalie? !
Rosalie: oi, oi, oi
Blind date: rosalie? ! thats odd she doesnt seem to be here
Rosalie: smart, smart!
Blind date: Ive been stood up, its news
Rosalie: well its better than put down
Blind date: this has never happened before
Rosalie: what and ego!
Blind date: rosalie? !
Rosalie: sh, sh, sh!
Rosalie: it worked, it worked!
He never saw me. boy am I lucky I didnt see him neither,
But I can just imagine what a lox that one was.

Rosalie: I got it right her shirley was playing tricks
Voice: no, no, thats wrong, you got it wrong
Rosalie: wait, wait, what thats not right?
Voice: no, he was gorgeous he looked like rudolph
Rosalie: rudolph who?
Voice: rudolph valentino
Rosalie: get away
Voice: yeah, the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: not the phantom from the opera?
Voice: uh, uh
Rosalie: the sheik from where?
Voice: the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: get away
Voice: thats right
Rosalie: wait a minute is this person kidding me around here?
Voice: no, no absolutely
Rosalie: get away
Rosalie: well thats what happened I let him get away

What do Ill do now maybe become a nun [thats impossible]
Im calling shirley maybe shell bring a gun
Please shirley, even if hes lon chaney fat, bald or short or tall
Having a blind date is better than having
No date, at no time with no one at all.
Wait a minute maybe I spoke too soon
Shirley get me out of here!
Oh this one is cute.
