Partner in Crime lyrics
Partner in Crime
JESSE:
The Pyramids, The Brooklyn Bridge,
The Rio Grande, The Rhine
I've seen the seven wonders of the world...
Can't wait for eight and nine
But because of my predicament,
My peculiar situation
To keep my profile low, low, low
I'm a one man operation
WINNIE:
Jesse! I've got it!
You need a partner in crime
Someone to share in the view
Why see all of the world and all of its glories
Without a friend to tell your stories to?
JESSE:
Someone to stand at my side
Two extra fists In a fight!
Why should the road be long and lonely?
WINNIE:
Why not team up?
BOTH:
We've only got tonight!
JESSE:
If no one's there to hear it,
does a falling tree make sound?
WINNIE:
Are we heard or seen or anything
without a friend around?
JESSE:
The old Great Wall, the Taj Mahal,
yes, they all have merit
WINNIE:
But this traveling fair could take the cake
because you get to share it!
JESSE:
Carrot?
WINNIE (with Jesse):
You need a partner in crime (I need a partner in crime)
Someone to share in a laugh (someone to share in a laugh)
Running a race without a pace setter
JESSE:
I'm out of place
BOTH:
Without my better half!
WINNIE:
With you
JESSE:
The fun is two-for-one
WINNIE:
And a choc full of surprises!
With you the line moves twice as fast
BOTH:
And no one realizes
JESSE:
To do whatever we do now will merit reminiscing
BOTH:
With two I finally feel somehow
that something isn't missing
BOTH (with ensemble):
I have a partner in crime (a partner in crime)
someone to share in the view
ALL:
Why see the world and all of its glories
without a friend to tell your stories to?
ENSEMBLE:
Last night for fun at the fair
Sun's setting
Tomorrow we're gone
ALL:
You need a partner, a partner in crime
Two extra fists in a fight
Stuck in a sticky situation?
Lucky the trick's collaboration
Why should the road be long and lonely?
JESSE & WINNIE:
We've only got tonight!
ENSEMBLE:
Last night for fun at the fair
JESSE & WINNIE:
A partner in crime!
ENSEMBLE:
Sun's setting
Tomorrow we're gone
ALL:
My partner in crime!
