letra de me and my town - carnegie hall concert cast of anyone can whistle (1995)
mayoress cora hoover hooper:
everyone hates me-yes, yes-
being the mayoress, yes
all of the peasants
throw rocks in my presence
which causes me nervous distress, yes
ooohhh….
me and my town, battered about
everyone in it would like to get out
but me and my town
we just wanna be loved!
stores are for rent, theatres are dark
grass on the sidewalks, but not in the park
me and my town
we just wanna bе loved!
the peoplе are starving
so they sleep the day through
my poor little people
what can they do?
townspeople:
boo!
cora:
who asked you?
come on the train, come on the bus
somebody please buy a ticket to us
hurry on down-
we need a little renown
love me
love my
town!
ooohhh…
boys:
hi there, cora. what’s new?
cora:
the bank went bust and i’m feeling blue
boys:
and who took over the bankruptcy?
cora:
me, boys, me!
boys:
si, si!
cora:
me, boys, me!
boys:

cora:
i just got back from the reservoir
boys:
and what’s the state of the water supply?
cora:
dry, boys, dry!
boys:
my, my!
cora:
dry, boys, dry!
boys:
ay, ay!
cora:
a lady has responsibilities…
boys:
responsibilities…
cora:
and civic pride!
boys:
civic pride!
cora:
well, i look around and what do i see? i see no crops
boys:
no crops
cora:
i see no business
boys:
no business
cora:
to the north, to the south
only hoof-and-mouth!
boys:
to the east, to the west
no community chest
cora:
i see a terrible depression all over the town-
boys:
oh, a terrible depression
yes, a terrible depression
cora:
what a terrible depression
and i’m so depressed
i can hardly talk on the phone
i feel all alone
cora and boys:
but a lady has responsibilities-
boys:
responsibilities-
cora:
to all my poor! starving! cold! miserable!
dirty! dreary! depressing! peasants!
all:
peasants! ick!
cora:
a lady has responsibilities-
boys:
responsibilities-
cora:
to try to be
popular with the populace
boys:
she’s unpopular with the populace!
all:
unpopular with the populace
unpopular with the populace
unpopular with the populace…
cora:
everyone here hates me at length
probably lynch me if they had the strength
but me and my town
me and my town
we just wanna be loved!
boys:
we just want to be loved!
we just want to be loved!
cora:
just loved!
boys:
a friendship is lovely
and a courtship sublime
but give her a township-
cora:
township!
cora:
what’ll we do, me and my town?
gotta do something or we’re gonna drown!
all:
give me my coat
give me my crown
gimme, gimme your vote
and hurry on down!
cora:
show how much you think
boys:
yeah!
cora:
of me!
all:
love me
love my
town!
