[Rose Brice’s Saloon on Henry Street is the center of a block party decorated with banners congratulating Fanny. The neighbors and party guests all sing:]
[All:] Henry Street, No, it ain’t Broadway, it’s Henry Street. Way after midnight Lit up as bright as a lighthouse Brighter tonight than the White House. [Boys:] We’re proud to tell you that C.P.A.’s We got in dozens, and lawyers, take your choice. Messes and messes of young D.D.-esses, A looney who teaches voice, [Girls:] Ah, ha, ha, ha– [All:] Henry Street has something it ain’t had so far: The greatest, most glamorous, genuine, glorified Ziegfeld star. We’re proud to tell you that C.P.A.’s We got in dozens, and lawyers, take your choice.
