Black And White
Charity: May the 7th, 1851 (Chorus echo) Day of days for Bridgeports favorite son (echo) (Chorus: ohhhh) Living whales he sent to Hades (Chorus gasps) Likewise Swedish singing ladies And the local clockworks he will run (Chorus echo) Gone those wooly schemes that filled his head (Chorus echo) Farewell Kelly green and cherry red (Chorus echo) No more, step right up and see him Barnums closed his last museum And hes gonna live his life instead (With Chorus) Singer: Black and white The futures rosy living black and white Keep both feet on the ground Dont let those day dreams spin your round See things the way they are Youre gonna tumble if you fly too far Stay low and hold on tight Living black and white Charity: He could run the clockworks Barnum found In two months hed run it in the ground Purchased then 500 shovels Said men mustnt live in huddles And a new utopia I will found Planed a very modern model town Elevated roads to stroll around Grew so high it made you groggy Built on land a trifle soggy So as it rose up it started down (echo: down down down down) Singer: Black and white He built a city that was black and white It took no end of spunk And looked quite splendid as it sunk Here comes another lurch There goes the depot and the Baptist church As place slipped out of sight They were black and white So long, ta ta goodnight Bye bye black and white Oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh Oh yeah (Up tempo) Chorus: Heard about your city what a shame But the truth is politics your game Kissing babies making speeches Posing with the local beeches Fun, respect, nobility and fame Charity: You could be an alder man, no wait (echo: no wait) Congressman I mean U.S not state (echo: not state) Oh thats easy pickins Oh what the dickens (echo: senator) Charity and Chorus: Why not hang a presidential slate Singer: Black and white Hes playing politics in black and white Cold truth and good hard facts Give all that razzmatazz the axe No bunting in the streets Youll talk of budget cuts and ballot sheets Statistics day and night Running black and white Barnum: Black and white Im runnin politics in black and white Cold truth and good hard facts Give all that razzmatazz the axe No bunting in the streets I talk of budget cuts and ballot sheets Statistics day and night (Spoken) Cherry, Im losing em. You gotta let me bring some color into this campaign or theyll beat me Charity (Spoken): Very well, Taylor. Go ahead! Chorus: Black and white Hes had his fill of living black and white So long ta ta good night Bye bye bye bye black and White!! |
