(Spoken) I wonder what this guy will be like?
(Spoken) He will not be a gambler!
(Spoken) I am not interested in what he will not be,
(Spoken) I am interested in what he will be.
(Spoken) Don't worry. I'll know
For I've imagined every bit of him
From his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
To the home-y aroma of his pipe
You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad
The breakfast-eating, Brooks-brothers type.
Yes, and I shall meet him when the time is right.
(Spoken) You've got the guy all figured out.
(Spoken) I have.
(Spoken) Including what he smokes. All figured out, huh?
(Spoken) All figured out.
I'll know when my love comes along
I won't take a chance.
For all he'll be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance.
And you'll know at a glance by the two-pair of pants.
I'll know by the calm steady voice
Those feet on the ground.
I'll know as I run to his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound.
Until then, I shall wait.
Until then, I'll be strong.
Oh, I'll know, when my love comes along.
(Spoken) No, no, no! You are talking about love! You can't dope it like that.
What are you picking, a guy or a horse?
(Spoken) I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand.
(Spoken) Would you like to hear how a gambler feels about the big heart throb?
(Spoken) No!
(Spoken) Well, I'll tell you.
Mine will come as a surprise to me.
Mine I leave to chance and chemistry.
(Spoken) Chemistry?
(Spoken) Yeah, chemistry.
Suddenly I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know at the sight of her face
How I care, how I care, how I care
And I'll stop. And I'll stare.
And I'll know long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart.
I'll know and I won't ever ask
Am I right, am I wise, am I smart.
But I'll stop. And I'll stare.
At that face. In the throng.
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know
When my love comes along.
(Spoken) He will not be a gambler!
