Guys & Dolls (The 2023 London Cast Recording)

2023

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nHow do you like that rat?
\nJust when he oughta be lyin' he's tellin' the truth!
\nYou know what?
\nI'm glad I'm through with him
\nAnd you oughta be glad you're through with Sky, too
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nI am
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nYeah
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nYeah
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nHmm
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nHmm
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nWhat are we, crazy or somethin'?
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nAt Wanamaker's and Saks and Klein
\nA lesson I've been taught
\nYou can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nAt any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome
\nYou mustn't squeeze a melon 'til you get the melon home
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nYou simply gotta gamble
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nYou get no guarantee
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nNow doesn't that kind of apply to you and I?
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nYou and me
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nWhy not?
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nWhy not what?
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nMarry the man today
\nTrouble though he may be
\nMuch as he likes to play
\nCrazy and wild and free
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
\nMarry the man today
\nRather than sigh and sorrow
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nMarry the man today
\nAnd change his ways tomorrow
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nOoh
\n
\n[SARAH & ADELAIDE]
\nMarry the man today (Marry the man today)
\nMaybe he's leaving town (Maybe he's leaving town)
\nDon't let him get away (Don't let him get away)
\nHurry and track him down (Counterattack him and)
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
\nMarry the man today
\nGive him the girlish laughter
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nGive him your hand today
\nAnd save the fist for after
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nTwo more!
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nAlright, sister, okay, let's see
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nSlowly introduce him to the better things
\nRespectable, conservative, and clean, ha ha
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nReader's Digest
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nGuy Lombardo
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nRogers Peet's
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nGolf
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nGaloshes
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nOvaltine!
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
\nBut marry the man today
\nHandle it meek and gently
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nMarry the man today and train him subsequently
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nHa!
\nCome on, you do it!
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nHa! Ha!
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nCarefully expose him to domestic life
\nAnd if he ever tries to stray from you
\nHave a pot roast
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nHave a headache
\n
\n[SARAH]
\nHave a baby
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nHave two!
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nSix!
\n
\n[ADELAIDE, spoken]
\nNine!
\n
\n[SARAH, spoken]
\nStop!
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
\nMarry the man today
\nRather than sigh and sorrow
\nMarry the man today
\nAnd change his ways
\n
\n[SARAH & ADELAIDE]
\nAnd change his ways (And change his ways)
\nAnd change his ways (And change his ways)
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
\nTomorrow!\n\n
