John Kander A Tough Act To Follow
Cioffi (spoken): May I be bold?
I never believed in that whole ‘some enchanted evening’

The first time I saw you, there was a blue wash on the
stage
and they hit ya with a pink special. It was…
Niki (spoken): It was just like a musical, huh Frank?
Cioffi (spoken): I thought, Niki, I thought to myself

You and I,
We could be
A tough act to follow
Can't ya see?
Special people doing special things
Running rings around any pair

We could stay
A tough act to follow
In every way
If you hold my hand
And let the music start
Let the curtains part
Let the spot light glow…
Cioffi (spoken): Gosh, I wish I could do that.
Niki (spoken): Well, you can Frank. It’s simple really.
Just follow me.

How about a spotlight of your own?
Hey, Harry, put him in pink! Oh, looking
good, Frank. Lookin’ real good!
