GUEST,Guest, Robomatic Lyr Req: Songs about hands! (92* d) RE: Lyr Req: SONGS ABOUT HANDS! 07 Feb 02


From the Broadway musical of the 50's "Kismet", putting words to the tunes of Borodin no less, a blend of Arabian nights and glitz, comes the song "Gesticulate"

"Dear hand, deft hand, spinner of fable and fantasy, fond companion to me since my birth Swift hand, kind hand, would they rend us apart, Leaving no finger or fist there, But just the hint of a wrist there?"

and so on...

I believe Alfred Drake was in the musical, and there was a movie.
