I Think Im Gonna Like It Here by Original Broadway Cast of Annie Lyrics

[GRACE, spoken]
Annie, you're our guest for Christmas. And for the next two weeks, you're gonna have a swell time!
(sung)
Cecille will pick out all your clothes

[CECILLE, spoken]
Green is her best color, no blue I think

[GRACE]
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer

[MRS. GREER, spoken]
Soap...no, bubbles, I think

[GRACE]
Annette comes in to make your bed

[ANNETTE, spoken]
The silk sheets, no the satin sheets, I think

[ANNIE]
I think I'm gonna like it here!
[GRACE]
The swimming pool is to the left

[ANNIE, spoken]
Inside the house? Oh boy

[GRACE, spoken]
Mmhmm

[ANNIE, spoken]
Oh boy!

[GRACE]
The tennis court is in the rear

[ANNIE, spoken]
I never even picked up a racket

[GRACE]
Have an instructor here at noon
(spoken)
Oh, and get that Don Budge fellow if he's available

[ANNIE]
I think I'm gonna like it here
[GRACE]
When you wake Ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray
When you're through Mrs. Pugh
Comes to take it away

[GRACE & SERVANTS]
No need to pick up any toys

[ANNIE, spoken]
That's okay, I haven't got any anyway

[GRACE]
No finger will you lift, my dear

[GRACE & SERVANTS]
We have but one request
Please put us to the test

[ANNIE]
I know I'm gonna like it here
Used to room in a tomb
Where I'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me, please
(spoken)
Ow!
[GRACE, spoken]
She didn't mean it
(sung)
We've never had a little girl

[SERVANTS]
We've never had a little girl

[ANNIE]
I'm very glad to volunteer

[GRACE & SERVANTS]
We hope you understand
Your wish is our command
We know you're gonna like it here
(spoken)
Welcome!
