Carried Away Lyrics by Frederica von Stade, David Garrison

Bernstein: On the Town

0

[CLAIRE]
Modern man, what is it?
Just a collection of complexes and neurotic impulses
That occasionally break through
[OZZIE, spoken]
You mean sometimes you blow your top, like me?
[CLAIRE]
I do
I try hard to stay controlled
But I get carried away
Try to act aloof and cold
But I get carried away
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
You get carried, just carried away!
[CLAIRE]
Carried away, carried away
I get carried away!
[CLAIRE]
When I sit and listen to a symphony
Why can't I just say the music's grand?
Why must I leap up on the stage hysterically?
They're playing pizzicato
And everything goes blotto
I grab the maestro's stick and start in leading the band!
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
You get carried, just carried away!
[CLAIRE]
Carried away, carried away
I get carried away!
[OZZIE]
And when I go to see a moving picture show
And I'm watching actors in a scene
I start to think what's happening is really so
The girl, I must protect her
The villain don't respect her
I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen!
[CLAIRE]
Carried away, carried away
He gets carried
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
I get carried
[CLAIRE & OZZIE]
Just carried away!
[OZZIE]
I try hard to keep detached
But I get carried away
Try to act less booby-hatched
But I get carried away
[CLAIRE]
Carried away, carried away
He gets carried, just carried away!
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
I get carried away!
[OZZIE]
When shopping, I'm a sucker for a bargain sale
If something is marked down upon a shelf
My sense of what is practical begins to fail
I buy one, then another
Another, then another
I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself!
[CLAIRE]
Carried away, carried away
He gets carried, just carried away!
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
I get carried away!
[CLAIRE]
And when I go to see my friends off on a train
Golly, how I hate to see them go
For then my love of traveling I can't restrain
The time has come for parting
The train's already starting
I hop a freight and in a flash I'm off to Buffalo!
[OZZIE]
Carried away, carried away
[CLAIRE & OZZIE]
We get carried, just carried away!
