How about you?  (lyrics)

PENNY:

When a girl meets boy,

life can be a joy,

but the note they end on will depend on

little pleasures they will share;

so let us compare.

I like New York in June,

how about you?

I like a Gershwin tune,

how about you?

I love a fireside

when a storm is due.

I like potato chips,

moonlight and motor trips,

how about you?

I'm mad about good books,

can't get my fill,

and Franklin Roosevelt's looks

give me a thrill.

Holding hands in the movie show,

when all the lights are low

may not be new,

but I like it,

how about you?

I like Jack Benny's jokes.

TOMMY: To a degree.

PENNY: I love the common folks.

TOMMY: that includes me

PENNY: I like to window shop on 5th Avenue.

TOMMY: I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz, how about you?

PENNY: I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine.

TOMMY: I'd love to see your name right beside mine.

PENNY: I can see we're in harmony

TOMMY: Looks like we both agree on what to do

BOTH: And I like it, how about you?
