The Most Happy Fella (Original Cast Recording)

1956

[TONY]
Soon, you gonna leave-a me, Joe
Soon, you gonna leave-a me, Joe
And pick somebody else's crop, far away
[JOE, spoken]
What's got into you, boss? Ain't that kinda sentimental talk?
[TONY & JOE]
Soon, you gonna leave me, Joe
[TONY]
Ma, every mornin' when I'm-a wake up
I wanna see a pitch'
A pitch' of the best damn foreman ever come to work for me
[JOE, spoken]
You want a picture of me?
[TONY]
My Joe, young handsome Joe
The best damn foreman ever come-a to work for me
[JOE, spoken]
Why sure, Tony, I don't mind. 
[TONY, spoken]
At's-a good. Hey, Max! Hurry 'еm up and take his pitch'. 
[JOE, spoken]
Well, that was easy. 
[TONY, spoken]
Graziе, Joe, grazie! And listen, Joe, any time you wanna quit the job at's-a all right with me. I'm-a no gonna get mad. I'm-a no wanna stop you. You just like you say "disappear."
[JOE, spoken]
Well, thanks, boss. That's nice of you. I'll see you up at the ranch.
