Lyrics: Soundtrack Artists. Rosemary.

Finch: Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
Was the melody locked inside me
Till at last out it came?
Rosemary! Rosemary!

Just imagine if we kissed!
What a crescendo, not to be missed.

As for the rest of my lifetime program,
Give me more of the same:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
There is wonderful music in the very sound
Of your name!

Rosemary: Ponty, what are you talking about?
Finch: Rosemary, the most wonderful thing has happened. Oh, can't you hear it? Can't you hear it?
Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name

Rosemary: I don't hear a thing.
Finch: Rosemary! It's all around me; it's like a beautiful pink sky!
Rosemary: Now, look here, J. Pierrepont Finch . . .
Finch: Rosemary, darling, will you please marry J. Pierrepont Finch?
Rosemary: Now I hear it! I hear it! I hear it!
Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name.
J. Pierrepont!


Finch: Rosemary!
Just imagine if we kissed!
What a crescendo,

Both: Not to be missed.
Finch: As for the rest of my lifetime program,
Give me more of the same:
Rosemary! Rosemary!
Both: There is wonderful music in the very sound
Of your name!
Finch: Wait a minute, Rosemary. Hello, operator: give me the man who paints names on office doors. Hello, name painter? This is Mr. Finch. I want my name on my door in gold leaf. Yes, J. Pierrepont Finch. J. Pierrepont. No, no, all capitals. Block letters:
J. Pierrepont,
Vice President
In Charge of Advertising
F-I-N-C-H

The usual spelling.
J. Pierrepont
Boy, when you see it on your own door,
There is wonderful music
In the very sound
Of your name!



Biggley learns the new Vice-President of Advertising is from Old Ivy's rival college, a "chipmunk", so he fires him and gives Finch the job. Now Rosemary will be Finch's secretary. Rosemary is not very pleased that after Finch declares his love, he seems more excited about this promotion than interested in her; and Frump plots revenge as the first act ends.
