I Must See Annie Tonight 1938

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 24 Jun 2002

Am I going to the Op'ra?
Am I going to a show?
Am I going to a concert?
No! No! No!
There's a million things I could do tonight
to have a lot of fun,
but I can think of only one.

I must see Annie tonight
I must see Annie tonight
Is she cute
Oh me, oh my!
The birds "tweettweet" when she goes by.
If you saw her, then you'd know why
I must see Annie tonight.
Hello Central, give me a line,
calling Gerard double O nine..
I know that voice, it's Mister Tate:
You're selling fruit;
the idea's great.
But I've found a 'Peach'
and I've got a 'Date'
So I must see Annie tonight.
She's got two eyes that shine,
two lips made for kissin',
Oh! what I'm missin',
so please don't delay.
Hello Central, give me a line,
calling Gerard double O nine.
Hello, who's this, you're Mister Bell,
you've got some wedding rings to sell?
The number's wrong
but the idea's swell
Oh! I must see Annie tonight.

I must see Annie tonight
I must see Annie tonight
She flirts a bit, and gads about;
and when I call, without a doubt
I'll find her 'In' and 'find her out';
but I must see Annie tonight.
Hello Central, give me a line,
calling Gerard double O nine.
Hello, Hello! Oh me, oh my,
I'm not the 'RailRoad'; listen guy
You want the 'goods'; and so do I;
so I must see Annie tonight..
She's got two eyes that shine,
two lips made for kissin',
Oh! what I'm missin',
so please don't delay.
Hello Central, give me a line,
calling Gerard double O nine.
Hello, who's that? The Fire Brigade!
There's nothing doing I'm afraid.
Postpone my fire; my plans are made:
'Cause I must see Annie tonight..
