美國演藝天后［芭芭拉史翠珊］的首支宣傳單曲──音樂劇歌曲──幽默的［Miss Marmelstein／馬梅爾斯坦小姐］

Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein

Oh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein

Other girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate
Do you know what I mean

And nobody calls me, "Hey, baby doll", Miss Marmelstein
Or "Honey dear", Miss Marmelstein, or "Sweetie pie"
Miss Marmelstein

Even my first name would be preferable
Though its terrible, it might be better, its Yetta
Or perhaps my second name thats Tessye
Spelled T E S S why E

But no, no, its always Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Youd think at least Miss M. they could try
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Oh, I could die

Im a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
Its great I mean simply great

But the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest, its the drum appellation
Oh, pardon the big words I apply
But I was an English major at C.C.N.Y.

Drum appellation
With which I am persistently addressed
Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed
Believe me, it could drive a person positively psychosomatic

Oh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein

Other girls get called by their nick names right away
Slightly naughty or risky
Do you know what I mean

Nobody calls me, "Koo-chee-koo", Miss Marmelstein
Or "Boobala", Miss Marmelstein, or "Passion pie"
Even, "Hey there, babe" thought not respectable, aint so object able
Its kind of crummy but chummy

Of course if I got married, that would do it
So, wheres the lucky guy
Till then it still is Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Everyday I get more and more fast

Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Oh, I could bust

１９６１年　１９歲美國演藝圈新秀芭芭拉史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）在紐約曼哈頓高檔夜總會“藍色天使”演出，受到歡迎．

在“藍色天使”演出時，戲劇導演兼劇作家Arthur Laurents邀請她試鏡他正在導演的一部關於服裝貿易的音樂喜劇《我可以為你批發／I Can Get It for You Wholesale》。

史翠珊得到男主角商業秘書的角色，由當時默默無聞的艾略特古德（Elliott Gould.飾演。

兩人在排練時墜入愛河，最終搬進一間小公寓同居。

本劇於１９６２年３月２２日在舒伯特劇院首演──這是芭芭拉首度登上擺好會舞台。

儘管演出 300 場，這部音樂劇卻獲得褒貶不一評價，而且還虧損。

不過史翠珊卻獲得好評．

Groucho Marx在主持《今夜秀》時告訴她，20 歲是「在百老匯取得成功的極其年輕的年齡」。

讓剛滿２０歲的史翠珊開始走紅舞台

並獲得東尼獎提名和紐約戲劇評論家獎最佳女配角獎。

音樂劇被錄製並製作成專輯［I Can Get It for You Wholesale: Original Broadway Cast Recording ］，

由哥倫比亞唱片（Columbia）公司在１９６２年４月發行．

Goddard Lieberson製作．芭芭拉參與五首歌曲演唱（共１７首）

樂評普通．

［I Can Get It for You Wholesale: Original Broadway Cast Recording ］登上美國Billboard流行專輯榜＃１２５

１９６４年，原聲帶專輯推出雙Ａ面電台宣傳單曲［Miss Marmelstein／馬梅爾斯坦小姐］＋Marilyn Cooper的［Who Knows?／誰知道］．

這標誌著史翠珊首次出現在哥倫比亞唱片公司的單曲中。

［Miss Marmelstein］是史翠珊在劇中角色的名字

由Harold Rome譜寫，Goddard Lieberson製作成一首音樂劇歌曲，由芭芭拉獨唱，

在歌曲中，她哀嘆每個人都如此正式地稱呼她。並有許多男女人升喊著‘Miss Marmelstein’．幽默有趣．

歌曲俏皮可愛，史翠珊也展現其扎實的歌唱功力．

這首歌成為音樂劇中最令人難忘的部分，史翠珊經常演唱。

［I Can Get It for You Wholesale ］標誌著芭芭拉的首次專業錄音亮相。

［Miss Marmelstein］則是她首支（宣傳）單曲．

這張專輯的製作人戈Goddard Lieberson與史翠珊簽訂合同，她的第一張個人專輯［The Barbra Streisand Album］在［I Can Get It for You Wholesale］舞台劇閉幕兩個月後發行。
