Months later, fanny has had a telegram from florenz ziegfeld; eddie suspects
It's a job offer. eddie and mrs. brice fantasize as they help fanny get
Ready for this interview:

Mrs. brice:
Eddie, the ziegfeld follies!
Now she belongs to the ages!
My work is done,
My work is done,
Eddie:
Our work is done,
She doesn't need us,
She'll have cake,
We'll have crumbs.
Be careful of the stage door,
Here she comes, here she comes.
Hello,
Fanny, hello.
Mrs. brice:
Hello, fanny--it's me--mama.
What do you mean--mama who?
Eddie:
It's good to see her . . . from afar,
Mrs. brice:
I lost a daughter but i gained a star.
Eddie:
That's broadway!
And
Who taught her ev'rything she knows?
I taught her ev'rything she knows--
She sings like a bird--
(whistles)
Yes, indeed!
But who used to stand there
And feed her the seed?
Who taught her how to pick her clothes?
Mrs. brice:
Eddie, that i did.
Eddie:
Yeah, but who taught her her how to tap her toes?
But will she admit it?
Kid, you said it.
They all forget they know ya
When it comes to credit.
Tell me have you ever seen her take this pose?
I taught her ev'rything--
How to hoof,
And how to sing,
I taught her ev'rything she knows.
Mrs. brice:
Wait, eddie--she'll blame us yet.
Who taught her ev'rything she knows?
Eddie:
Let me hear it, rosie.
Mrs. brice:
I taught her ev'rything she knows.
Eddie:
Ain't it the truth!
Mrs. brice:
That mischievous smile,
The devil may care,
You don't pull
Such mannerisms
Out of the air.
The men who are older might prefer
The original manufactur-er.
Both:
It hurts me to say it,
But why not be fair--
When you see her on the stage
You're seein' me there.
Mrs. brice:
She still has trouble executin' one of those,
Eddie:
If they could have paid the price,
They'd have hired rosie brice,
Mrs. brice:
Who stands after every show
Sellin' matches in the snow.
Eddie:
But in the world of grease paint,
That's the way it goes.
Both:
We taught her everything--
How to hoof and how to sing,
We taught her how to wack
A joke from here to hackensack--ya, ha, ha, ha!
We taught her everything,
We taught her ev'rything she knows.

Other Barbra Streisand song Lyrics
Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home "Free and easy That's my style Howdy-do me? Watch me smile..."	Keepin Out of Mischief Now "Keepin' out of mischief now I really am in love and how I'm through playin' with fire It's you whom i desire..."
Lover, Come Back to Me "Sky was blue and high above The moon was new, so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover, where can you be..."	I Stayed Too Long At The Fair "I wanted the music to play on forever Have i stayed too long at the fair? I wanted the clown to be constantly clever Have i stayed too long at the fair?..."
My Honeys Loving Arms "I love your loving arms They hold a world of charms A place to nestle When i am lonely..."	Soon Its Gonna Rain "Hear how the wind begins to whisper See how the leaves go streaming by Smell how the velvet rain is falling Out where the fields are warm and dry..."
When The Sun Comes Out "When the sun comes out And the rain stops beating on my window pane When the sun comes out There'll be blue birds 'round my door..."	Much More "much more I'd like to swim In a clear blue stream Where the water is icy cold..."
