More Than We Bargained For lyrics

More Than We Bargained For


Terry:
Some hidden magnet
Is pulling me back
Back to this strange little show
An invisible force
Dragging me off-course
Pulling me somewhere
I know I shouldn't go
I want
I want
I want to see her
I want
I want to look at her face
I need
I need
I need to see her
That's why I'm back in this place

Buddy:
Mr. Conner!
Hey, thank God you're back!

Terry:
Buddy!
So, everything ok?

Buddy:
Better than that.
Jake, tell the girls Mr. Connor is here

Terry:
Well, let's go see them

Buddy:
They're not quite dressed
We had to wait
Till the Boss passed out

Terry:
Are they going to perform?

Buddy:
We can't wait to show you
The work we've accomplished
You won't believe your own eyes
Meeting each night
At the oddest of hours
But oh, how each hour flies
Our two girls have a special gift
I've only begun to explore
Any clouds of doubt will lift
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for

Terry:
We'll see about that.
Sounds like you've managed ok here.

Buddy:
Working in the midst
Of the strangest folk
They're helpful
I like them
They get my jokes
I thought they were performers
In a sad, bleak show
But here I am
I fit right in
Into a freak show

Terry:
So, Buddy, you finally found a home.
The twins giving you any trouble?

Buddy:
Well Violet is slow
But we work till she gets it
Daisy does everything right
I'm more concerned
With some personal questions
I swear I did not invite
I think Violet's sweet on me
Sweet's very hard to ignore
Daisy mentions you with glee
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for

Terry:
Daisy asks about me?

Buddy:
Only about fifty times a day.

Terry:
You're kidding.
She thinks I'll make her famous
Get her foot in the door

Buddy:
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for
Do you think they're pretty?

Terry:
Pretty?

Buddy:
Well, they are

Terry:
Let's get them flowers

Buddy:
That's going to far

Terry:
Why?

Buddy:
Flowers are romantic
Romance is in the air
So beware

Terry:
Buddy, you've got so much to learn.
You don't know women

Buddy:
Not like them

Terry:
Let me set you right

Buddy:
I know more than you think

Terry:
They'll try to hook you

Buddy:
Oh, come on.

Terry:
But you don't have to bite
I've known lots of women

Buddy:
So I've heard

Terry:
The lovely
The gruesome
I've seen things
I've tried things
But never a twosome

Buddy:
I'm not interested in that

Terry:
Then close your eyes

Buddy:
What?

Terry:
Just a little joke

Buddy:
It's no joking matter

Terry:
You worry too much

Buddy:
I'm just saying we need to look

Terry:
Look at what?

Buddy:
Look at where this road leads

Terry:
To vaudeville

Buddy:
It's not right that we overlook their needs
They have needs

Terry:
We're giving them a chance of a lifetime

Buddy:
Are we doing what's fair and right?

Terry:
Yes, we are

Buddy:
Wish I could know what's in store

Terry:
Who knows that?

Buddy & Terry:
The future should be clear and bright

Buddy:
I think we're getting more

Terry:
Are we getting more

Buddy & Terry:
Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for


Buddy and Terry leave to get the girls flowers before the show...

Fortune Teller:
The sideshow's about to explode with excitement
Everyone's heading for the tent
They've heard of the hours you've spent
Learning your song

Jake:
I hope nothing goes wrong

Fortune Teller:
Don't worry, Jake
The future looks rosy
I see both of you falling in love

Terry:
Congratulations

Buddy:
What an occasion

Terry:
The Hilton sisters' debut

Daisy:
Flowers?

Violet:
For us?

Fortune Teller:
How thoughtful

Terry:
We're all pulling for your success

Jake:
You should be getting dressed

Violet:
Thank you all
For all your help

Fortune Teller:
We'd better go
We'll be in the front row

Jake:
Rooting for you all the way

Terry:
Your friends can't wait
To hear you sing

Buddy:
And I'm so proud
I hope you know

Buddy & Terry:
Here's to a wonderful show

Buddy and Terry leave the girls alone to get ready...
