[DAISY BUCHANAN]

You remind me of a rose

An absolute rose

Or better yet

A bud preparing to bloom

This summer you will soak up the city

The sunlight the sea

Who knows what this new adventure will be

When you open

Open

Open up anew

You'll be an absolute rose

Once I cultivate you

[DAISY, spoken]

Jordan, meet my cousin, Nick Carraway. Jordan is an amateur golfer

[JORDAN BAKER, spoken]

And a confirmed bachelor

[DAISY, sung]

You know what's grand about a rose

[JORDAN, spoken]

Who are you calling a rose?

[DAISY, sung]

Is sometimes they look best

When they are arrangеd

[JORDAN, spoken]

Here we go

[DAISY, sung]

You should see thе trophies

That hang on her walls

[JORDAN]

So you know I always had a thing

For swinging at little white balls

[DAISY]

I should fling you togеther

Find a boat, push you right out to sea

Or maybe lock you in a room

And see what happens to bloom

[JORDAN, spoken]

Fun though this is, I'm going out tonight

[TOM BUCHANAN, spoken]

Oh, women run around too much these days to suit me. Nick doesn't want a wife who traipses from golf tournaments to parties

[JORDAN, spoken]

Better than a husband who travels with a pack of polo ponies

[TOM, spoken]

A man needs a wife who's more of a delicate flower

[DAISY, sung]

If I'm a rosе

I'm a rose under glass

Frozen at its pinnacle

More cynical by the day

I've been everywhere

Seen everything

Done everything

God, I've made it

I'm so sophisticated

But look at you

You are back from the war

Brave and victorious

[NICK]

Victorious!

[DAISY, NICK]

With glorious days ahead

Glorious days ahead

You're writing books

I'm selling bonds

You're selling bonds

Daisy, I hate it

No, you've made it

I swear, this all was fated

Dance with me, Nick

[DAISY, spoken]

You altogether missed dancing with me at my wedding

[TOM, spoken]

Why weren't you at our wedding?

[NICK, spoken]

I wasn't back from the war

[TOM, spoken]

Ah, everyone's favorite excuse

[DAISY, sung]

When you open

Open

Open up, you'll see

You'll be an absolute rose

Like I used to be
