Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
The warm and close relationship between a songwriter and a singer is traditional
It has never been better evidenced than the presence here tonight
Of several great ASCAP composers
To join in the tribute to a shining star, Barbra Streisand
Now, each one of them has something to say
And may I introduce them to you
George Bernard Shaw once said that, "Hell was filled with musical amateurs"
That remark alone assures Harold Arlen a place in Heaven
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come Ray or come Stark
My Brooklyn princess
Who eats her cheese blendses
Above Central Park
Travels with her Jason
To the chic, Paris salons
Then gets a new face on
That is not quite British
But beautifully yiddish
She overcame me
With clothes, ca-ca-may me
From Bergdorf and Klein's
She broke our records
Including my records
But not Jule Styne's
Her days will always be sunny
With chunks full of taxable money
But I'm with you, Brunhilda
I'm with you, rain or shine
The warm and close relationship between a songwriter and a singer is traditional
It has never been better evidenced than the presence here tonight
Of several great ASCAP composers
To join in the tribute to a shining star, Barbra Streisand
Now, each one of them has something to say
And may I introduce them to you
George Bernard Shaw once said that, "Hell was filled with musical amateurs"
That remark alone assures Harold Arlen a place in Heaven
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come Ray or come Stark
My Brooklyn princess
Who eats her cheese blendses
Above Central Park
Travels with her Jason
To the chic, Paris salons
Then gets a new face on
That is not quite British
But beautifully yiddish
She overcame me
With clothes, ca-ca-may me
From Bergdorf and Klein's
She broke our records
Including my records
But not Jule Styne's
Her days will always be sunny
With chunks full of taxable money
But I'm with you, Brunhilda
I'm with you, rain or shine
