Bobster

Still I'll stick it till
I'm on a bill all over Times Square!
Some day maybe
If I stick it long enough
I can get to strut my stuff


scenicdesign71

There's a lot that's at stake --
But you've stalled long enough,
'Cause you're still standing stuck
In the stuff on the steps.

Better run along home
And avoid the collision...

KathyB

From the way that people
Keep avoiding—
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir

MartinG

Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass in Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day..."
Morals tomorrow

KathyB

A pinch and a diddle
In the middle of what passes by,
It's a very short road from the pinch and the punch
To the paunch and the pouch and the pension,
It's a very short road to the ten-thousandth lunch
And the belch and the grouch and the sigh.

MartinG

One thousand whims to which I give in
Since her smallest tear turns me ashen.
Morals tomorrow

Bobster

Love, I hear, makes you blush and turns you ashen
You try to speak with passion, and squeak...
I hear...
Love, they say, makes you pine away
But you pine away with an idiotic grin!
I pine, I blush, I squeak, I squawk
Today I woke too weak to walk


Leighton

And ladies, my lord, are weak

Ladies and their sensitivities, my lord!
Have a fragile sensibility
When a girl's emergent
Self indulgence is better than no indulgence!

MartinG

 :-\ This is driving me mad...
Morals tomorrow

I was sure it would be somewhere in Passion, but can't find it ... yet.

To repost Leighton's current lyric:

QuoteAnd ladies, my lord, are weak

Ladies and their sensitivities, my lord!
Have a fragile sensibility
When a girl's emergent
But us, old friend,
What's to discuss, old friend?

MartinG

Still racking my brains...  :-\

Well, played through every soundtrack while doing weekend stuff over the past couple of days hoping for a memory jog and drawn a total blank.  :-[

May need a teeny clue here @Leighton.

I've been through most of the lyrics, too. Only ones I haven't looked at properly are Pacific Overtures and Anyone Can Whistle (and a chunk of Merrily ...) so I reckon it must be in there somewhere. 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️
