Picture Show Lyrics by Original West End Cast of Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde (Original West End Cast Recording)

2023

[YOUNG BONNIE]
I can see me, I can see me
Livin' just like Clara
Sippin' champagne, can't you see me
In the middle of a dance floor?
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
I can see you sweepin' the dust off this porch
[YOUNG BONNIE]
That could be me, that could be me
Doin' things like Clara
Flirtin' madly, lookin' dreamy
These are things you take a chance for
[WOMAN, (spoken)]
Says here she "dropped out of high school"
[YOUNG BONNIE]
It must be great to be called the "It-girl"
Your face on every magazine
That's where I'm gonna end up some day
Trust me
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
You are not dropping out of school!
Now help me keep the dust off this porch
[YOUNG BONNIE, (spoken)]
It's all just gonna be here again tomorrow
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
And we'll sweep it away again tomorrow
[YOUNG BONNIE]
I wanna be her, I wanna be her
Dressed in style, like Clara
I can see me, can you see me?
The main attraction at the picture show
Like Clara Bow
Like Clara Bow
[YOUNG CLYDE]
I wanna live the life of an outlaw
I'm gonna be like Billy The Kid
And when the law has got me surrounded, no doubt
I'm gonna shoot my way out
There were no man alive to outdraw him
No barroom bully could stand a chance
He had the looks that everyone goes for, me too
Billy I want to be you
Bang bang! You're dead!
Bang bang! You're dead!
Ain't nothin' I can't do with a gun
[CUMIE BARROW, (spoken)]
Go help your pa load the wagon
[YOUNG CLYDE, (spoken)]
Why can't we stay pa?
[HENRY BARROW, (spoken)]
I don't own the land and it ain't worth it for them to have me work it no more
[CUMIE BARROW, (spoken)]
You're gonna like West Dallas
[YOUNG BONNIE, (spoken)]
It's the Devil's back porch
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
You watch that mouth of yours
[YOUNG BONNIE, (spoken)]
I didn't give it that name. It's what they call West Dallas
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
With nyour father gone we couldn't afford to stay in Rowena
[YOUNG BONNIE, (spoken)]
But why here?
[EMMA PARKER, (spoken)]
Because grandma Mary's been nice enough to take us in
[YOUNG BONNIE, (spoken)]
God, this place is a shithole
[YOUNG BONNIE]
I'll be ready, I'll be ready
When I switch to Clara
Ridin' horses, goin' steady
With a guy who owns a jazz bar
[YOUNG CLYDE]
I'm gonna make a whole lotta money
I won't count cents like my ma and pa
I will wear Sunday clothes on a Tuesday, someday
No one will stand in my way
[ADULT BONNIE]
They say when you're a star in the movies
You get to keep the clothes you wear
Big stars make thirty dollars a week
Jesus!
I wanna be her, I wanna be her
Dressed in style like Clara
I can see me, can you see me?
The main attraction at the picture show
Like Clara Bow
Like Clara Bow
The main attraction at the picture show
[ADULT CLYDE]
Bang bang! You're dead!
Bang bang! You're dead!
Ain't nothin' I can't do with a gun
[JUDGE, (Spoken)]
Marvin Ivan Barrow, Clyde Chestnut Barrow, you have been found guilty. You are both hereby sentenced to two years at the McLennan County Jail
[ADULT CLYDE]
I'm gonna be the guy kids look up to
They'll cut their hair the way I cut mine
Capone was just like me when he started, some guy
He made it big
And so will I
[ADULT BONNIE, ADULT CLYDE]
It must be great to be called the "It-girl" (Capone is more to me than a hero)
That isn't what they're callin' me
But some day soon I bet ya they will (I wanna be like him)
Trust me
I wanna be her, I wanna be her (I wanna be like Al Capone)
Dressed in style like Clara (He's my hero)
I can see me, can you see me? (Al Capone, I wanna be you! Bang bang!)
The main attraction at the picture show
(Bang bang!)
Like Clara Bow
(Bang bang!)
Like Clara Bow
The main attraction
(I wanna be like)
Clara Bow! (Al Capone!)
