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...
