A Healthy Normal American Boy by Vanessa Williams
From Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack
(Reporters asking questions-spoken)
Reporter 1: How does Conrad feel about going into the army?
Albert: How does he feel? You ask how he feels. He's much too shy to tell you so I'll tell you how he feels. He feels brave and eager, strangely humble. Proud to be a plain G.I.
Rosie: He would gladly, face those bullets, for he's not afraid to die.
Girls: For he's a fine abstanding patriotic, healthy normal American boy.
Albert (spoken): And that's why he volunteered.
Reporter 2 (spoken): Volunteered? I heard he appealed 3 times!
Rosie (spoken):Sing!
Girls: We love you Conrad, oh yes we do, we love you Conrad, and we'll be true. When you're not near us, we're blue/ OH Conrad we love you.
Reporter 3 (spoken): What's the picture on you and that Hollywood star? Are you two engaged?
Rosie(spoken): Is he engaged? Is Conrad engaged? There's absolutely nothing to the rumor he's engaged.
Albert: She's a real pal., like a sister, but it doens't mean a thing. And that 18 karat diamond, it was just a friendship ring.
Girls: For he's a fine abstanding patriotic, healthy normal American boy.
Reporter 4 (spoken): Then why was her husband so mad?
Albert (spoken): Sing!
Girls: We love you Conrad, oh yes we do, we love you Conrad, and we'll be true.
Albert (spoken): Why, I'll never forget Conrad's first word's when he heard he'd been accepted into the armed forces. 'Gee Mr. Peterson' he cried eagerly, 'Do you think they'll assign me to one of those frontline trenches (army talk here I don't know what they're saying)
