Well as you may have guessed, this song would replace the dialogue where Danny, Ginger, Francis and Rita discuss what they believe makes the ideal romantic partner. It would begin roughly after Ginger tells Danny that girls want someone who can make them laugh, and just when he says, " if you're interested..." It's sweet and on the slower side. They would take their turns singing their verses while tidying up, and it would end with Winnie calling the girls upstairs.
DANNY: Oh, a pretty girl can
Catch a man's eye,
Make him weak in the knees
Can go to his head
But the way to the heart
Is through a man's stomach
And that, my dear, means
By keeping him fed
GINGER: Oh, a man thinks a girl wants
Nothing but diamonds
A palace, a carriage
And living in style
But the key to her heart
Is to fill it with laughter
And that starts, dear sir,
By making her smile
DANNY: Could be, could be
If it matters to you, it should matter to me
I'm not saying that we –
(Spoken with head shaking)
GINGER: No
(Singing) Only love's hard to find if you don't have the key
FRANCIS: Oh, a man needs a partner
A faithful companion
Someone he can count on
Who's on the right track
If she's honest and loyal
He'll always be loving
The key to his heart is
By having his back
RITA: The way to my heart is
Through caring and kindness
And not just sweet nothings
I'm sure to dismiss
Oh, a compliment's nice
But if you take my advice
Then the key to my heart
Can be a simple kiss
FRANCIS Could be. Could be
That it matters to you and it matters to me
I'm not saying that we –
(Spoken with head shaking)
RITA: No
(Singing) We only agree on love's sincerity
DANNY: Any song can be sung
GINGER: And dancing's sure fun
RITA: Any knight can recite some dumb poem he's learned
DANNY Life's full of flings
GINGER: But be beggar or king
RITA: Love is a thing which has got to be earned
(Spoken)
FRANCIS: My turn
(Singing) Love is a thing which has got to be earned.
It's all pretty swoon-y by the end of it, with a lots of sparks flying and bashful looks between the couples.
