I Really Like Him Lyrics by Irving Jacobson

Man of La Mancha

0

[ALDONZA, spoken]
Why do you follow him?
[SANCHO, spoken]
That's easy to explain, it's because—
Because—
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Why?
[SANCHO]
I like him
I really like him
Tear out my fingernails one by one, I like him!
I don't have
A very good reason
Since I've been with him cuckoo-nuts have been in season
But there's nothing I can do
Chop me up for onion stew
Still I yell to the sky
Though I can't tell you why
That I like him!
[ALDONZA, spoken]
But what do you get out of it?
[SANCHO, spoken]
What do I get?
Ooh, why already I've gotten—
I've gotten—
[ALDONZA, spoken]
You've gotten nothing!
Why do you do it?
[SANCHO]
I like him
I really like him
Pluck me naked as a scalded chicken, I like him!
Don't ask me
For why or wherefore
'Cause I don't have a single good "Because" or "Therefore"
You can barbecue my nose
Make a giblet of my toes
Make me freeze, make me fry
Make me sigh, make me cry
Still I yell to the sky
Though I can't tell you why
That I like him!
