Letra Who taught her everything? Barbra Streisand

Who taught her everything?

Months later, fanny has had a telegram from florenz ziegfeld; eddie suspects
Its 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 doesnt need us,
Shell have cake,
Well have crumbs.
Be careful of the stage door,
Here she comes, here she comes.
Hello,
Fanny, hello.
Mrs. brice:
Hello, fanny--its me--mama.
What do you mean--mama who?
Eddie:
Its good to see her . . . from afar,
Mrs. brice:
I lost a daughter but I gained a star.
Eddie:
Thats broadway!
And
Who taught her evrything she knows?
I taught her evrything 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 evrything--
How to hoof,
And how to sing,
I taught her evrything she knows.
Mrs. brice:
Wait, eddie--shell blame us yet.
Who taught her evrything she knows?
Eddie:
Let me hear it, rosie.
Mrs. brice:
I taught her evrything she knows.
Eddie:
Aint it the truth!
Mrs. brice:
That mischievous smile,
The devil may care,
You dont 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
Youre seein me there.
Mrs. brice:
She still has trouble executin one of those,
Eddie:
If they could have paid the price,
Theyd have hired rosie brice,
Mrs. brice:
Who stands after every show
Sellin matches in the snow.
Eddie:
But in the world of grease paint,
Thats 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 evrything she knows.
