American Express Lyrics by Buchan & Barne

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) [Original London Cast Recording]

2024

[Robin]
We’re buying this tux
[Dougal, spoken]
We’re buying this tux? It’s twelve-hundred bucks
[Robin]
Your attitude sucks. We’re buying this tux
[Dougal]
We’re buying this tux
[Robin]
We’re buying success
[Dougal]
Hell yes!
[Robin]
Now swallow your pride
[Dougal]
I’ll swallow my pride
[Robin]
I’m Bonnie you’re Clyde
[Dougal]
You’re Bonnie I’m Clyde
[Both]
We’re gonna be hitching a ride on the American Express!
Strolling down the avenue together
Dressed in shoes of alligator leather
Swapping smart rеmarks about the weather
[Dougal, spoken]
Do you think it’s going to snow?
[Robin, spoken]
I think wе make it rain!
Now that we’ve successfully defrauded da-
[Dougal]
Now that we can suddenly afford it
[Both]
New York City isn’t such a sorted town
Putting on the glitz, putting on the spritz
[Dougal, spoken]
We’ll take a bottle
[Robin]
Sprinkling a little bit of glitter on my tits!
We’re grabbing a cab
[Dougal, spoken]
Taxi!
We’re having the crab
[Robin, spoken]
Waiter!
[Dougal]
It’s on the tab
[Robin]
It’s on the tab
[Both]
It’s on the tab
Cruising, boozing up the rockerfeller
Feeling sweet and swell as Cinderella
[Dougal]
Fetch the finest liquor in the cellar!
[Robin, spoken]
May I see some ID?
[Dougal, spoken]
Are you flirting with me?
[Both]
One more round of lobster cappuccino
[Robin]
‘Scuse me while I instagram the vino
[Both]
New York City isn’t such a mean old town
[Dougal, spoken]
Where am I?!
[Robin]
Just stick by my side
[Dougal]
I’ll stick by my sti-
[Robin]
I’m Bonnie you’re Clyde
[Dougal, spoken]
Wait who’s Bonnie? Who’s Clyde?
[Both]
We’re gonna be hitching a ride on the American Express!
(Dance Break)
[Dougal]
I pity the rich
[Robin, spoken]
Wait you pity the rich?
[Dougal]
They’ll never know what it’s like
[Robin, spoken]
To go to a laundromat?
[Dougal]
To only be rich
[Robin]
To only be rich
[Both]
For one magical night
[Robin]
Magical night
I’m buying those stars!
[Dougal]
I’m buying that moon!
[Robin]
I’m buying these cars!
[Dougal]
I’ve stolen this spoon!
[Robin]
I’m selling my soul, and buying this whole impossible mess
[Dougal, spoken]
What next?
[Robin, spoken]
The plaza hotel!
Just follow my stride
[Dougal]
I’ll follow your
[Robin]
Just
[Both]
Follow your/my stride
[Dougal]
I’m Bonnie you’re Clyde
[Robin]
(spoken) I’m Bonnie!
[Both]
You’re/I’m Bonnie I’m/you’re Clyde
[Dougal]
New York!
[Both]
We’re gonna be hitching a ride!
[Robin]
On the American…
[Dougal]
On the American…
[Both]
On the American… Express!
[Robin, spoken]
Bridal suite please!
