Title:  I’m in love with a giant

Composer:  Joe Raposo / Tom Dunsmuir

Lead vocals:  Rita Moreno

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  Rita in a living room, surrounded by very large objects.

[RM]  I’m in love with a different sort of guy,

But in my book, he rates extremely high.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s just one of the best,

Because he’s standing head and shoulders over all the rest.

He’s very tall.  I’m very short.

His fingers are fat.  Mine are thin.

His feet are big.  My feet are small.

I’m in love.  I’m in love with a giant.

His chair is high.  My chair is low.

His toothbrush is heavy.  Mine is light.

His hat is hard.  My hat is soft.

I’m in love.  I’m in love with a giant.

Sometimes folks laugh, and then I sigh,

‘Cause it’s so hard to tell the reasons why

I’m in love.  I’m in love with a giant.

To be in love with a giant who’s in love with me

Is a very very funny thing to be.
