I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here Lyrics

GRACE (SPOKEN)
Annie, you're our guest for Christmas. And for the next two weeks, you're gonna have a swell time!

GRACE (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?

ANNIE (SPOKEN)
Ow!

GRACE (SPOKEN)
She didn't mean it.

GRACE (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

GRACE (SPOKEN)
Welcome!
