Guys & Dolls (The 2023 London Cast Recording)

2023

[GOOD TIME CHARLEY BERNSTEIN, spoken]
\nAnd now for the feature number of the evening
\nThe Hot Box proudly presents
\nMiss Adelaide and her Debutantes
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nHe bought me the fur thing five winters ago
\nAnd the gown the following fall
\nThen the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat
\nOoh, that was late '48, I recall
\nThen last night in his apartment
\nHe tried to remove them all
\nAnd I said as I ran down the hall, ooh
\n
\n"Take back your mink
\nTake back your pеarls
\nWhat made you think
\nThat I was one of those girls?
\nTakе back the gown
\nThe shoes and the hat
\nI may be down
\nBut I'm not flat as all that
\n
\n"I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
\nWas a token of your esteem
\nBut when I think of what you want in exchange
\nIt all seems a horrible dream
\nSo take back your mink
\nTo from whence it came
\nAnd tell them to Hollanderize it
\nFor some other dame"
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\n"Take back your mink
\nTake back your pearls
\nWhat made you think
\nThat I was one of those girls?"
\nI'm screamin'
\n"Take back the gown
\nTake back the hat
\nI may be down
\nBut I'm not flat as all that
\n
\n"I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
\nWas a token of your esteem
\nBut when I think of what you want in exchange
\nIt all seems a horrible dream
\nTake back your mink
\nThose old worn out pelts
\nAnd go shorten the sleeves
\nFor somebody else"
\n
\n[Dance break.]
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nCome on
\n
\n[HOT BOX GIRLS & ADELAIDE]
\nTake back your mink (Take back your mink)
\nTake back your pearls (I'm [?])
\nWhat made you think (What made you think that)
\nThat I was one of those girls? (I'm screamin')
\nTake back the gown (Take back the gown)
\nTake back the hat (I don't even like it)
\nI may be down (I may be down)
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\nBut I'm not flat as all that
\nI thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
\nWas a token of your esteem
\nBut when I think of what you want in exchange
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\nIt all seems a horrible dream (A horrible dream)
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\nTake back your mink
\nThose old worn out pelts
\nAnd go shorten the sleeves
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\nFor somebody else (Take back your mink)
\nFor somebody else (Take back your mink)
\nFor somebody else (Somebody else)
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nTake back your mink!\n\n
