No. 15 - Finale Act I

MIDI File

Willie: The tutelar goddess of old New York
Is a maiden whose mission is light.
She's a brazen creature, I must admit,
And she always stays out all night.
Chorus: The tutelar goddess of old New York
Is a maiden whose mission is light.
She's a brazen creature, I must admit,
And she always stays out all night.
Willie: But tall Miss Liberty seems to say
To all on land or sea:
Just do what you will, I'll settle the bill,
For ev'rything here is free.
Chorus: Just do what you will,
I'll settle the bill,
For ev'rything here is free.
Willie: Get into line, join in the whirl.
We'll tincture the town of the Liberty Girl.
It's a corking old place.
Let's pull out the cork.
You cannot see life till you see New York.
Chorus: Get into line, join in the whirl.
We'll tincture the town of the Liberty Girl.
It's a corking old place.
Let's pull out the cork.
You cannot see life till you see New York.
Girls: Lead on. We are willing to be led.
Fall in. Let us paint the city red.
All: Fun is free, so are we.
Hats off to the Liberty Girl.
Get into line, join in the whirl.
We'll tincture the town of the Liberty Girl.
It's a corking old place.
Let's pull out the cork.
You cannot see life till you see New York.
