Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine's tune and lyrics are as FRESH and CLEVER as any from the great era of popular music; this song is Fabulous! It must have taken 2 weeks to rehearse this...notice that it's filmed in mostly L-O-N-G takes, which means that the incredibly complex choreography had to be timed PERFECTLY. But THIS is what life was like in the 1950's! LR
This looks like a very difficult number to arrange plus coordinate all those dancers while moving furniture and handling multiple props on very exacting cues....all at the same time.
Debbie Reynolds was so cute. And though I know they rehearse a lot, I'm always amazed at how perfectly these long song and dance scenes go in these old movies.
DEBBIE: When I try makin' money, I never have much luck I never earn a dime, much less a buck Are my finances in a mess, yes But I never felt better, so I couldn't care less I don't puy Polo ponies or fly a private plane I never order beer, much less Champagne But do I need a lot o' dough, no 'Cause I never felt better, so I couldn't feel low Not low No! No! I'm high Hi, here's why I never have a worry, I never have a care About what I should buy or what to wear And do I find my future bright, right 'Cause I never felt better and I'm doin' all right When Summer's at its hottest, the rain must keep me cool 'Cause I don't own a creek, much less a pool What do I do when warm as toast, boast That I never felt better, so I simply won't roast When Winter's at its coldest, I shiver and I shriek I haven't got a coat, much less a mink But does that mean I'm losin' hope, nope 'Cause I never felt better, tell me why should I mope Why mope Hoh, huh-huh-huh No soap Won't cry, not I Days I go out shoppin', I buy each thing I see I charge 'em, then I feel I got 'em free So where will I receive my mail, jail But I never felt better, so I'm cruisin' full sail JANE: The thing most people love to do is worry They dearly love to worry and complain So let me check my list and see if I have missed A possible source of misery and pain (A possible source of misery and pain) JANE: How's your appetite DEBBIE: Tremendous JANE: How's your energy DEBBIE: Stupendous JANE: Are you strong DEBBIE: So strong I have to watch my step DEBBIE: How're your eyes JANE: Bright as a penny DEBBIE: And your sleep JANE: 'Cause I'm always on the ball and full of pep (How's your heart) JANE: It must be tickin' 'cause I feel alive and kickin' (How's your brain) JANE: Well, it's insane DEBBIE: But kind of quick (How's your lovelife) JANE: I got plenty, how's your vision DEBBIE: Twenty-twenty, must confess that I'm depressingly unsick DEBBIE: If I'm to cross the ocean, I'd better learn to float I can't afford a raft, much less a boat But would I love to see Paree, weeeh Still I never felt better, so Pomona suits me And Heidelberg would thrill me I'd buy a dress of chintz and go right out and land a student prince But will I ever cross the Rhine, nein Still I never felt better, so the beach will do fine I no rhyme, that's fine Won't see Paree I haven't got a worry, I haven't got a care About what I should buy or what to wear Got no diamond solitaire, so what, you know what I consider diamonds kind o' square Besides I never felt better, I never felt better No, I never felt better and I'm walkin' on air
Movies like this make today's talent nonexistent.
The world is full of hidden treasures.
This has got to be Debbie's best outfit ever!!

Really cute and well done, we re still everytime amazed by those great artists, dancers, almost such as miss Debie Reynolds >may she rip
This looks like a very difficult number to arrange plus coordinate all those dancers while moving furniture and handling multiple props on very exacting cues....all at the same time.
And without 50 million scene cuts.
RIP Debbie! This is one of my favorites of yours. Thank G-d we will always have you on film!
Debby made a lot movies.
I always like her Donald together.
Debbie Reynolds was so cute. And though I know they rehearse a lot, I'm always amazed at how perfectly these long song and dance scenes go in these old movies.
Oh to have been part of this fabulous era I love the fashions the movies everything about the 50s
RIP Jane Powell 1929/2021
Thanks to you I found this hidden gem ;-)
This and how d da like your eggs in the morning are the two videos I always watch when I want to feel better
Too cute Oh MY Gosh!!
Ahhh...The good old days!
DEBBIE:
When I try makin' money, I never have much luck
I never earn a dime, much less a buck
Are my finances in a mess, yes
But I never felt better, so I couldn't care less
I don't puy Polo ponies or fly a private plane
I never order beer, much less Champagne
But do I need a lot o' dough, no
'Cause I never felt better, so I couldn't feel low
Not low
No! No!
I'm high
Hi, here's why
I never have a worry, I never have a care
About what I should buy or what to wear
And do I find my future bright, right
'Cause I never felt better and I'm doin' all right
When Summer's at its hottest, the rain must keep me cool
'Cause I don't own a creek, much less a pool
What do I do when warm as toast, boast
That I never felt better, so I simply won't roast
When Winter's at its coldest, I shiver and I shriek
I haven't got a coat, much less a mink
But does that mean I'm losin' hope, nope
'Cause I never felt better, tell me why should I mope
Why mope
Hoh, huh-huh-huh
No soap
Won't cry, not I
Days I go out shoppin', I buy each thing I see
I charge 'em, then I feel I got 'em free
So where will I receive my mail, jail
But I never felt better, so I'm cruisin' full sail
JANE:
The thing most people love to do is worry
They dearly love to worry and complain
So let me check my list and see if I have missed
A possible source of misery and pain
(A possible source of misery and pain)
JANE: How's your appetite
DEBBIE: Tremendous
JANE: How's your energy
DEBBIE: Stupendous
JANE: Are you strong
DEBBIE: So strong I have to watch my step
DEBBIE: How're your eyes
JANE: Bright as a penny
DEBBIE: And your sleep
JANE: 'Cause I'm always on the ball and full of pep
(How's your heart)
JANE: It must be tickin' 'cause I feel alive and kickin'
(How's your brain)
JANE: Well, it's insane
DEBBIE: But kind of quick
(How's your lovelife)
JANE: I got plenty, how's your vision
DEBBIE: Twenty-twenty, must confess that I'm depressingly unsick
DEBBIE:
If I'm to cross the ocean, I'd better learn to float
I can't afford a raft, much less a boat
But would I love to see Paree, weeeh
Still I never felt better, so Pomona suits me
And Heidelberg would thrill me
I'd buy a dress of chintz and go right out and land a student prince
But will I ever cross the Rhine, nein
Still I never felt better, so the beach will do fine
I no rhyme, that's fine
Won't see Paree
I haven't got a worry, I haven't got a care
About what I should buy or what to wear
Got no diamond solitaire, so what, you know what
I consider diamonds kind o' square
Besides I never felt better, I never felt better
No, I never felt better and I'm walkin' on air
🚊 Thank You!
thanks!!!!
delighted that there's a musical named after me
Does anyone have the lyrics for this?😊
Those hot men so Strong!!! I love how they were sincere
I wonder what they were doing to this house, and why.
You would have to watch the movie 😁
Yeah, you kinda have to see the movie to get it but they're essentially beatniks beatniking a politician‘s house.
Les boys!
This was definetely not a one take scene.
Debbie reynolds is more beautiful💕✨
Cluttered staging overwhelms the song. Starts too busy to build to anything.
I love this song and it is very Debbie, but for the character she was playing it was sorta out of character and unexpected.
Right off the space ship.
