Allegro Jane Fitzgerald, Dick Van Dyke & Charles Dailey

[CHARLIE]
Our world is for the forceful
And not for sentimental folk
But brilliant and resourceful
And paranoiac gentle folk

[JOE AND EMILY]
Not soft and sentimental folk

[CHARLIE]
"Allegro!", a musician
Would so describe the speed of it
The clash and competition
Of counterpoint

[EMILY]
The need of it?

[CHARLIE]
We cannot prove the need of it!

We know no other way
Of living out a day
Our music must be galloping and gay

[JOE]
We muffle all the undertones
The minor blood-and-thunder tones
The overtones are all we care to play
