Album: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Soundtrack

Like Zis\Like Zat

ANDRE
Like zis- ze moon,
As round as a balloon
Suspended like a bauble in ze sky.
Like zat- a tune
Zat wafts above the dune
And sweetly flutters like a
butterfly.
If ze past were plus parfait
We'd have met another day
When we both were young and
gay
And thin,
But the presen't rather tense,
So i think it makes some sense
For us to both
Give up,
Give in.

Like zat-ze sky
A shooting star goes by-
A message you and I
Cannot dismiss.

So I'm wishing for adose
Of being nice and close
Like zis, like zat, like dis.

MURIEL
Of the future,who can tell,
Though we hope it turns out well
No one can know just when his bell
Will toll,

So let's live in the here and now
And let it show us how
To find a way
To lose control.

Like zat, ze rose,
Delightful to ze nose,
But nowhere near
As perfect as a kiss-

ANDRE
And though I am no prance-

MURIEL
No prince.

ANDRE
My looks may make you wance-

MURIEL
No, wince.

ANDRE
I offer you romance-

MURIEL
Ro-mince.

ANDRE
Aah!
Come on, let's dince.

(As they dance:)

We've never been introduced.

MURIEL
I'm Muriel of Omaha.

ANDRE
Pleased to meet you.

MURIEL
It's mutual.

ANDRE
Like zat-

MURIEL
Ze rose-

ANDRE
Delightful to ze nose-

ANDRE AND MURIEL
But nowhere near
As perfect as a kidd.

(They kiss)
