Getting To Know You - 1951 - The King And I

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Nov 2001

[Cue: 'I like you very much indeed']
[Anna rather spoken:] It's a very
ancient saying,
but a true and honest thought,
that if you become a teacher,
by your pupils you'll be taught,
[sings:] As a teacher I've been learning
(You'll forgive me if I boast)
and I've now become an expert,
on the subject I like most,
[spoken:] 'Getting to know you'.

[sings:] Getting to know you,
getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you,
putting it my way, but nicely,
you are precisely my cup of tea!

Getting to know you,
getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
getting to know what to say;
haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
day by day.

[All except children:] Getting to know you,
getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
getting to hope you like me.
[Children join in:] Getting to know you,
putting it my way, but nicely,
you are precisely
[Anna solo:] my cup of tea!

[All:] Getting to know you,
getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
getting to know what to say;
haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
day by day.

[Wives and Children:] Getting to know you,
getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
getting to know what to say;
haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
day by day.

[Anna Solo:] Getting to know you,
getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
getting to know what to say;
haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
[All:] Because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
day by day.

[After Applause]

[All:] Getting to know you,
getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
getting to know what to say;
haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
day by day.
