You got me so I don't know what I'm doing

You got me so I can't sleep at night

And he played real good
On his clarinet for free

What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya

Cause I'll be laughing my head off
When he's burning in hell

Let me entertain you
let me make you smile
Let me do a few tricks
Some old and then some new tricks
I'm very versatile
And if you're real good
I'll make you feel good
I want your spirits to climb
So let me entertain you
And we'll have a real good time
Yes, sir
We'll have a real good time.

(Styne/Sondheim, from "Gypsy")

I don't know what day it is
Or if it's dark or fair
Somehow that's just the way it is
And I don't really care

Rogers and Hart, Ship without a sail

It's a satellite moon
It's a plagerized tune
The duck on the lake's a decoy
There's a sodium glare in the purified air
And the girl in my arms
(spoken) Is Mabel Figworthy and if she says "Oh really" one more time I'm going to wring her neck!

Flanders and Swann

I'd work for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a faker or a knave for you
If that isn't love
It'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along.

(charmingly sung by Fats Waller....he inserts the aside "Whatever that is" after the faker/knave line)

Meghan said...

You're the real thing.
Yeah the real thing.
You're the real thing.
Even better than the real thing.

Sally said...

I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel
But later in the second act when she began to peel
She proved that everything she had was absolutly real
