ELIZABETH (SINGING): Days can be sunny with never a sigh. I don't need what money can buy. Birds in the trees sing their days full of song. Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot. How did I get that way? Well look at what I've got.
I got rhythm, I got music. I got my man, who could ask for anything more? I got daisies in green pastures. I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him. You won't find him 'round my door. I got starlight, I got sweet dreams. I got my man, who could ask for anything more?

I wanna be happy but I won't be happy til I make you happy too. Life won't be worth living if we ain't both giving, so I will give some to you.
I got rhythm, I got music. I got my man, for today. I got daisies in green pastures. I got my man, oh, oh.
Old man trouble, I don't mind him. You won't find him knockin' 'round my door. I got starlight, I got sweet dreams. I got my man, for today.

Who could ask for anything more?
