Who Knows?

New York is a wonderful town

A very stimulating place to be

It's full of galleries and exhibitions

Most are absolutely free

And concerts like at Lewisohn Stadium

Plus, at Carnegie Hall

I sit way up top, with its wonderful acoustics

That's where it sounds best of all

Art lectures at the Metropolitan

I attended Ancient Greece the other day

Really?

The modern dance and ballet

At the YMNWHA

Hah

And legitimate plays on Broadway, oh

Don't you think Odette's is great?[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]

Great

Not downstairs, of course, I get last minute balcony

Down at Grey's cut rate

What better way can a single girl

With leisure spare time find?

Than to go around, broaden out her background

Also improve her mind?

Plus

It gives more chance for meeting up with people

Wouldn't you say?

I guess

Such as certain members of the opposite sex

She hopes to get involved with some day

And who can tell? Who knows?

When they might come one's way

Who knows when I'll see him, who knows?

Or why it'll be him, who knows?

Perfect, he doesn't have to be

Good-looking or rich or smart

Long as he's crazy after me

And we see heart to heart

Who knows when he'll be here, who knows?

One day, he'll see me there and hold out his armsFirst he'll kiss me

Say he loves me

And then

Propose

But why, where, when, who knows?

Well, I guess like Teddy Asch would say

I'd better make with the beat

Tomorrow's gonna be a real busy day

Before the new deal is complete

Congratulations, Harry

On the business

Thanks

Although "congratulations" may be just a tiny bit premature

I know where my ten grand for Apex Modes is coming from

I just haven't exactly gotten my hands on it yet

Harry

I've got ten thousand dollars

Well, Papa had, but it's for me

Or, rather, for the man I marry[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]

Ruthie, I–

It isn't you, it's the Bronx

You wanna stay, I gotta get out

What you're entitled to get for your ten grand

Right now, I haven't got to give

First he'll kiss me

Say he loves me

And then

Propose

But why, where, when, who knows?
