Lyrics Barbra Streisand – Just Leave Everything To Me – Prologue – Call On Dolly

Chorus:
Call on Dolly!
If your neighbour needs a new romance
Just name that kind of man your sister wants

Chorus:
She’s the one the spinsters recomend
She even find a lovely bride

Call on Dolly!
Fade out

Dolly:
I have always been a woman who arranges things,
for the pleasure—and the profit—it derives.
I have always been a woman who arranges things,
like furniture and daffodils and lives.

If you want your sister courted, brother wed, or cheese imported:
Just leave everything to me.
If you want your roof inspected, eyebrows tweezed, or bills collected:
Just leave everything to me.
If you want your daughter dated, or some marriage consummated,
for a rather modest fee.
If you want a husband spotted, boyfriend traced, or chicken potted:
I’ll arrange for making all arrangements
Just leave everything to me.

If you want your ego bolstered, muscles toned, or chair upholstered:

(
Mr. Sullivan
Where to, Dolly?
Dolly
Yonkers, New York, to handle a highly personal matter for
Mr. Horace Vandergelder, the well-known, unmarried, half-a-millionaire.
Mr. Sullivan
Gonna marry him yourself, Dolly?
Dolly
Why, Mr. Sullivan, whatever put such a preposterous idea into my head—your head!)

If you want a law abolished, jury swayed, or toenails polished:
Just leave everything to me.
If you want your liver tested, glasses made, cash invested:
Just leave everything to me.
If you want your children coddled, corsets pulled, or furs remodeled,
or some nice, fresh fricassee.
If you want your bustle shifted, wedding planned, or bosom lifted—
Don’t be ashamed girls,
Life is full of secrets, and I keep ’em!

I’ll discretely use my own discretion
I’ll arrange for making all arrangements
I’ll proceed to plan the whole procedure
Just leave everything to me!
