In No Time At All/A Moment With You

Stephen Sondheim

[SONDHEIM]
(setting up the song)
This is the song that comes over the radio on the porch—or the Victrola, whatever it will be—starting out as a vocal of the Happiness Boys school, and then joined in by Helen and Gene as they're dancing. 

In no time at all
I could take a fling at romance
There's no time to fall carefully
This may be my big chance

In no time at all
I could fall in love just for fun
It's no crime to fall easily
Keep it lighthearted
Kiss and run

I thought
That I had love's number
Then I heard somebody say
"Don't put off til tomorrow
What you should do today!"

And so
I'm on call
For the first romance that comes through
In no time at all
I could very easily
Fall in love with you

And in the second chorus, the vocalist takes the little counter-theme:

It took
(In no time at all)
Wilbur Wright
Years to learn to build something that flew
But my heart took flight in no time
By spending a moment with you

It took
Fred Astaire
Years to learn to tap out that tattoo
But I danced on air in no time
By spending a moment with you

The look in your eyes was a pleasure
My personal treasure was in it
J.P. Morgan works weekends
I got rich in a minute!

It took
Sigmund Freud
Years to learn what makes people feel blue
But I'm overjoyed
I avoid being low
Just by spending a moment with you
A moment with you
A moment with you
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
