Get a Load of That Lyrics by Helen Arden, Hope Emerson, Ellen Repp

Street Scene

1949

[A GIRL]
Come in, come in, wherever you are
[A BOY]
Come in, come in, wherever you are
[MRS. FIORENTINO, spoken]
That Mrs. Maurrant has her troubles mit that Willie
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Oh, I don't think it bothers her much
She's got her mind on other things
[MRS. OLSEN, spoken]
He was comin' again today to see her
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Who—Sankey? Are you sure, Mrs. Olsen?
[MRS. OLSEN, spoken]
I seen him. I was sitting on the stoop
[MRS. FIORENTINO, spoken]
Oh, that's terrible!
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Just get a load of this!
You wouldn't think a married woman with a grown-up daughter
Would be fooling round with me like she hadn't oughta
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. OLSEN]
Whatcha think of that?
Whatcha think of that?
[MRS. OLSEN, spoken]
Two times already this week I see him here
[MRS. JONES]
I seen that man myself last week
He had thе gall to stop and speak!
He was comin' out as I came in
Good morning, says hе, putting on a grin
Good morning, says I, looking him in the eye
As me and my dog passed him right on by
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
Ain't he got a nerve!
[MRS. JONES]
Ain't he got a nerve!
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. OLSEN]
Ain't he got a nerve!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, MRS. JONES & MRS. OLSEN]
I said to myself: Now what a disgrace!
And both of them are married too
A woman ought to know her place
And act like decent women do
Ain't she got no shame?
Ain't she got no shame?
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
Ain't she got no shame?
[MRS. JONES]
Ain't she got no shame?
[MRS. OLSEN]
Ain't she got no shame?
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. JONES]
A woman ought to know her place
And act like decent women do
[MRS. OLSEN]
A woman like that one
A woman like that!
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
Get a load of that
[MRS. JONES]
Get a load of that
[MRS. OLSEN]
Get a load of that
