A young woman named Mei Li arrives from China as an illegal immigrant with her father in San Francisco, California to enter into an arranged marriage with the owner of a night club, Sammy Fong (inspired by the actual Forbidden City nightclub). Her intended is already involved with his leading showgirl, Linda Low, and does his best to dissuade Mei Li from marrying him, sending her to live in the house of Master Wang, where he presents her as prospect for Master Wang's son, Wang Ta. Dissolving the marriage contract is harder than either of them imagine. Master Wang is persuaded by his sister-in-law, Madame Liang, to allow Mei Li to fall in love naturally with Master Wang's son, Wang Ta. But Wang Ta is dazzled by the charms of Linda, who 'enjoys being a girl', and succeeds in landing a date with her, during which she convinces him to give her his fraternity pin (it symbolizes that they're "going steady"). Linda wishes to use Wang Ta to get a real commitment from Sammy Fong, who gets wind of her plan when Linda attends a party in honor of Wang Ta's and Madame Liang's graduation from university and citizenship classes, respectively. At the party, Linda has another club employee pretend to be her brother, and grant his permission for Linda to marry Wang Ta. Mei Li, hearing this, becomes discouraged, while Ta and his father argue over his marriage plans. Ta argues that he is old enough to make his own decisions, but the father says that he will be the one to let Ta know when he is old enough.
My father says That children keep growing Rivers keep flowing too My father says He doesn't know why But somehow or other they do They do Some how or other they do A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles Are happ'ning ev'ry day And those who say They don't agree Are those Who do not hear or see A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles Are happ'ning ev'ry day Miracle of changing weather When a dark blue curtain Is pinned by the stars Pinned by the stars to the sky Ev'ry flow'r And tree is a treat to see The air is very clean and dry Then a wind comes blowing The pins all away Night is confused and upset The sky falls down Like a clumsy clown The flowers And the trees get wet Very wet A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles Are happ'ning ev'ry day And when the wind Shall turn his face The pins Are put right back in place A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles Are happ'ning ev'ry day In ev'ry single minute So much is going on Along the Yangtse Kiang Or the Tiber or the Don A hundred million miracles A swallow in Tasmania Is sitting on her eggs And suddenly Those eggs have wings And eyes and beaks and legs A hundred million miracles A little girl in Chungking Just thirty inches tal Decides that she Will try to walk And nearly doesn't fall A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles Are happ'ning ev'ry day My father says the sun Will keep rising over The eastern hill My father says He doesn't know Why but somehow Or other it will It will Somehow or other it will Miracle of making music When an idle poet Puts words on a page Writes on a page With his brush A musical friend Writes the notes to blend Suggested By an idle thrush Then a young soprano Reads what they wrote Learns every note Every word Puts all they wrote In her lovely throat And suddenly A song is heard Very pretty A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles A hundred million miracles
