Song Details

A jaunty soft shoe rhythm imparts a carefree feeling to this well-crafted two-part partner song. The texts are conversational and the melodies move in contrary motion, together emphasizing the interdependence of the two parts, and of singers in a chorus.

Performance options

on the repeat from m. 33 to the end, have the sections of the chorus swap parts; consider placing the two sections of the chorus on two sides of the performing space for a stereophonic effect
