In the song, Professor Harold Hill is met by the School board, who ask him for references. Showing his con artist skill to the utmost, he points out the amazing discovery that they have extraordinary singing talent. Before long, Harold has them singing barbershop songs in perfect harmony.

Lyrics[]

How can there be any sin in sincere
Where is the good in goodbye? (Hi and goodbye)
Your apprehensions confuse me dear
Puzzle and mystify (Mystify)

Tell me what can be fair in farewell, dear
While one single star shines above
How can there be any sin in sincere?
Aren't we sincerely in love
Oh, we're in love!
