Nick and Fanny meet up in Baltimore where
Fanny is on a tour with Ziegfeld's latest show
They have dinner at a private dining room
Fanny is annoyed that Nick hasn't been in
touch for ten months Nick orders, mainly
in French, which Fanny doesn't understand
Fanny is uneasy that Nick might make
advances in such an intimate room

[Nick:]
You are woman, I am man,
You are smaller, so I can be taller than,
You are softer to the touch,
It's a feeling I like feeling very much
You are someone I've admired,
Still, our friendship
Leaves something to be desired
Does it take more explanation than this?
You are woman, I am man--
Let's kiss
[Fanny:]
Isn't this the height of nonchalance,
Furnishing a bed in restaurants?
Well, a bit of dinner never hurt,
But guess who is gonna be dessert?
Do good girls do just what mama says,
When mama's not around?
It's a feeling,
Oy vey, what a feeling
[Nick:]
A bit of pate?
[Fanny:]
I drink it all day
Should I do the things he'll tell me to?
In this pickle what would Nellie do?
In my soul I feel an inner lack,
Just suppose he wants his dinner back?
[Both:]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[Fanny:]
Just some dried-out toast in a sliver,
On the top a little chopped liver

How many girls become a sinner
While waiting for a roast beef dinner?
Though most girls slip in ordinary ways
I got style--I do it bordelaise
Well, at least he thinks I'm special
--He ordered a la carte
It's a feeling I like feeling very
I feel the feeling down to my toes
Now I feel that there's a fire here,
Try that once a little higher, dear,
What a beast to ruin such a pearl,
Would a convent take a Jewish girl?
[Both:]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[Fanny:]
Ooo, the thrills and chills goin' through me,
If I stop him now,
Can he sue me?
[Nick:]
You are woman
[Fanny:]
You are man
[Both:]
Let's kiss!
