Frankie: Janie , spare us a few minutes before the hour. Something must be said for a

song, from what was undoubtedly Jerome Kern's most memorable score. It's you and I, sweetie, with the

one of the loveliest songs in that show, Show Boat.



Frankie: We could make believe I love you, only make believe that you love me.

Janie: All that fine piece of mind in pretending, couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we?

Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three,

Janie: Might as well make believe I love you, for to tell the truth, I do.

(interlude)

Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three.

Both: Might as well make believe I love you, for to tell truth, I do.
