Damn Yankees

SIX MONTHS OUT OF EVERY YEAR

MEG
When we met in nineteen thirty-eight, it was November
When I said that I would be his mate, it was December
I reasoned he would be the greatest husband that a girl had ever found
That's what I reasoned
That's what I reasoned
Then April rolled around

JOE
Strike three, ball four, walk a run'll tie the score
Yer blind, Ump,
Yer blind, Ump,
Ya mus' be out-a yer mind, Ump!

MEG
Six months out of every year
I might as well be made of stone
Six months out of every year when I'm with him I'm alone

JOE
He caught the corner

MEG
Six months  out of every year
He doesn't take me anywhere
Six monthso ut of every year, when I play cards
Solitaire

The other six months out of every year
We are hardly ever seen apart
But then the Washington Senators take over my place in his heart
Six months out of every year

BOYS
Strike three
Ball four
Walk a run'll tie the score
Fly ball
Double play
Yankees win again today

Those damn Yankees
Why can't we beat 'em?
He's put, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out

Yer blind, Ump,
Yer blind, Ump, you must be out of yer mind, Ump

GIRLS
Six months out of every year

If he isn't home by six,

BOYS
He's out, he's safe, he's out!

GIRLS
It's six to one
There's a game

BOYS
Le-e-ets go!

GIRLS
Six months out of every year when we cook for them it never pays

BOYS
Aahh!

GRILS
Instead of praising our ghoulash
They are appraising the plays of Willie Mays!

BOYS
He's out, he's safe, he's out!

GIRLS
Six months out of every year

BOYS
Strike three, ball four, walk a run'll tie the score

GIRLS
We might as well be wearing crepe

BOYS

GIRLS
Life is just an awful bore
From which there is no escape

BOYS
Those damn Yankees
Why can't we beat 'em?
He's put, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out
Yer blind, Ump,
Yer blind, Ump, you must be out of yer mind, Ump

GIRLS
We're dying for the mercury to drop to three below

BOYS

GIRLS
We're crying for the happy days of icicicles and snow

GOODBYE, OLD GIRL


JOE
Goodbye, old girl
My old girl
When you awaken I'll be gone
Can't tell you where I go
It isn't fair, I know
But trust in me and carry on
Goodbyr old friend
My old friend
There's sometin' I must let you know
I haven't said it much
I guess I've lost my touch
But, my old girl, I love you so
No I know it hasn't all been rosy
We've had squabblin' days when tears were brought about
But in a moment or two we would bill and coo
And never even knew
What we fought about
And now you Joe has to go
But he'll come back to you again
So sleep your sleep, old girl
Our love will keep, old girl, till then
My old girl
Goodbye

A MAN DOESN'T KNOW


JOE
A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it,
When a man has the love of a woman he abuses it,
I didn't know what I had when I had my old love,
I didn't know what I had 'till I said, "Goodbye, old love!"
Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around
But the happy thought is
Whatever it is he's lost, may some day once again be found!



A LITTLE BRAINS-A LITTLE TALENT


LOLA
I took the zing out of the King of Siam
I took the starch out of the sails
Of the Prince of Wales
It's no great art, gettin' the heart of a man
On a silver platter
A little brains-a little talent
With the emphasis on the latter!

I made mince-meat out of a sweet young farmer!
I knocked the fight out of a knight
When I pierced his armor
And I'll bet, I can upset every male
In a Yale regatta!
A little brains-a little talent
With the emphasis on the latta!

You gotta know just what to say and how to say it
You gotta know what game to play and how to play it
You gotta stack those decks with a couple-a extra aces
And this queen has her aces
In all the right places!

I've done much more than that old bore, Delilah!
I took the curl out of the hair of a millionaire
There's no trick gettin' some hick who is cool
Just a little warmer
A little brains-a little talent
With the emphasis on the former!

Split up a home, way up in Nome, Alaska!
And wrecked the life of every wife
Down in Madagascar
Ask me why weak men'll die for me
Strong men simply shatter
A little brains-a little talent
With the emphasis on the latter!

You gotta know just what to do and how to do it
You gotta know what tea to brew and how to brew it
You've seen the sign that says George Washington once slept here
Well tho' nobody spied him
Guess who was beside him?
Bring out that boy, he'll be a toy to Lola

Just one more case she can erase with that old boffola
What's my plan. same as with any man
I'll use the standard platter
Plus a little this-a-and a little that-a
With the emphasis on the latter!

WHO'S GOT THE PAIN


LOLA & WELCH
Ugh!
Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
Who's got the pain when they go "Ugh"?
Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
I dunno who-do you?

Who needs a pill when they do the mambo?
Who needs a pill when they go "Ugh"?
Who needs a pill when they do the mambo?
I dunno who-do you?

Someone must be sick with the heat?
Or steppin' in everyone's feet?
But if everyone's feelin' O.K.
Why don't they just say "Olay"?
When the music carries then away! "Ugh!"?

Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
Who's got the pain when they go "Ugh"?
Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
I dunno who-do you?

Is there a doctor in the house?
Is there a doctor in the house?
Is there a doctor in the house?
Point him out,
For there is an element of doubt-as to
Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
Who's got the pain when they go "Ugh"?
Who's got the pain when they do the mambo?
I dunno who-do you?



THE GAME


ROCKY
we've got to think about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!
We've go to think about the game,
The game, the game!
Booze and braods may be great,
though they're great they'll have to wait,
While we think about the game!

ROCKY
There was that waitress back in Kansas City,
Built for comfort, dumb but pretty!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

ROCKY
Man, her perfume sure smelt sweet,
Got her up to my hotel suite!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

ROCKY
She killed a pint of gin more or less,
The lights were low and she slips of her dress!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?

ROCKY
But then I thought about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!

ROCKY
Oh, yes, I thought about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!

ROCKY
Though I got the lady high,
I just left her high and dry,
Cause I thought about the game!

ALL
He thought about the game!

SMOKEY
There was that pullman car that I got lost in,
On a sleeper out of Boston!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

SMOKEY
Compartment doors all look the same there
Walked in one and there's this dame there!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

SMOKEY
Blonde, and stacked, and absolutely bare,
And nothin' separatin' us but air!

ALL
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?

SMOKEY
But then I thought about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!

SMOKEY
Oh, yes, I thought about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!

SMOKEY
Though my heart said stay for tea,
All I said was pardon me!
Cause I though about the game!

ALL
He thought about the game!

MICKEY
When a chick gives you the eye, remember-

ALL
Abstain!

LOWE
When you're dyin' for some rye, remember-

ALL
Refrain!

HENRY
If you're losin' at crap and the clock says it's eleven,
Ans suddenly each roll you roll-"huh"- comes up a seven,
And you're in the kind of dive, where men are men,

ALL
Be polite, say goodnight, you should be in bed by ten!

SMOKEY
When your mother bakes you cakes, remember-

ALL
Saty thin!

ROCKY
When you're kissin' till it aches, remember-

ALL
Don't give in!
Every rule we shall obey to be sure,
Cause to win we've gotta stay, good and pure,
Good and pure! Mumm.

SMOKEY
Hey, Rock, remember those twins we took a ride with,
Operatin' side by side with,

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

SOMKEY
We're out of gas three miles from Philly,

ROCKY
The night is warm, the sky's a dilly,

ALL
Yeah? Yeah?

So I suggest we sleep beneath a tree

ROCKY
Four minds with a single thought

SMOKEY
I look at my girl,

ROCKY

But then they thought about the game!
The game, the game!

ROCKY & SMOKEY
Oh, yes, we thought about the game!

ALL
The game, the game!
to our women one and all,
We will see you in the fall,
But for now we've got to stall,
Every dame!
And think about the game!
Think about the game,
Think about the, think about the, think about the, think about the,
Think about the game!



NEAR TO YOU


JOE
He's near to you
Near to you
Though you think he's far away
He's near to you, so near to you
As near as April is to May!

Can't you feel him there is his favorite chair
Staring at the fireplace
Oh so near to you, always near to you
Why you might as well be face to face
For it's just as though he were standing as close as I
I know it's hard to imagine, but try,

If he's really near to you, near to you
You may be far apart and yet
If he's in your heart
Really in your heart
How near to you can he get?

MEG
He's near to me, near to me
Even though he's far away
He's near to me, oh so near to me
As near as April is to May

JOE
If he's really dear to you,

MEG
He's near to me

JOE
You may be far apart and yet

MEG
If he's in my heart

JOE
Really in your heart
How near to you

MEG
How near to me

BOTH
How near to you/me can he get?



THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS


APPLEGATE
Whenever I'm from time to time depressed
And a trauma wells and swells
Within my breast
I find some pride deep inside of me
And I fondly walk down the lane of memory
I see Bonaparte
A mean one if ever I've seen one
And Nero fiddlin' thru that lovely blaze
Antionetts, dainty queen, with her quaint guillotine
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I see Indians draggin'
An empty covered wagon
When scalping the settlers was the latest crazew
And that glorious morn, Jack the Ripper was born
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I'd sit in my rockin' chair peacefully rockin' there
Counting my blessings by the score
The rack was in fashion, the plagues were my passion
Each day held a new joy in store

Was anybody happy?

I see cannibals munchin' a missionary luncheon
The years may have flown but the memory stays
Like the hopes that were dashed when the stock market crashed
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I'd walk a million miles or more
For some of the gore
Of those good
Old
Days!



TWO LOST SOULS


JOE & LOLA
Two lost souls on the highway of life
We ain't even got a sister or brother
Ain't it just great, ain't it just grand?
We've got each other!

Two lost ships on a stormy sea
One with no sails and one with no rudder
Ain't it just great, ain't it just grand?
We've got each udder!

Two lost sheep, in the wilds of the hills
Far from the other Jacks and Jills, we wandered away and went astray
But we ain't fussin'
Cuz we've got "us'n"

We're two lost souls on the highway of life
And there's no one with whom we would ruther
Say, "Ain't it just great, ain't it just grand?"
We've got each other!

Wherever we go, whatever we do
As long as you've got me, and I've got you
We've got each other

We ain't fussin'- cuz we got "us'n."
