Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Original Broadway Cast Recording
2005
[LAWRENCE] Left hand, side pocket Right arm, akimbo and relaxed Head up, gaze steady Now you're ready so you Stroll in, survey them Your world, they're all invited guests Feel out how to play them And remember this: You're giving them what they want— [ANDRE] Za ba zoovee! [LAWRENCE] Giving them what they want An adventure all their own [LAWRENCE & ANDRE] Giving them what they want [LAWRENCE] Like they're in a movie And never forget that what they want is— Half smile [ANDRE] Demi sourire! [LAWRENCE] David Niven [ANDRE] Put on a— [LAWRENCE & ANDRE] Bold countenance, both tragic and amused [LAWRENCE] High style [ANDRE] Ah, comme il faut! [LAWRENCE] That's a given [ANDRE] And don't forget [LAWRENCE] All I'm doing is, I'm— [LAWRENCE, ANDRE & CHORUS WOMEN] Giving them what they want [LAWRENCE & ANDRE] Doo ba zootie! [LAWRENCE, ANDRE & CHORUS WOMEN] Specifically what they want [LAWRENCE] All tied up with a bow For as the poet said— [ANDRE] Keats! [CHORUS WOMEN] "Truth is beauty" [LAWRENCE] —And that is all you really Need to know [LENORE] Your Grace! [LAWRENCE] This Lady is Lenore She feels her life's become a bore You see her husband's Ninety-four this May Buy hey, shes down for fifty mil In an addendum to his will And wherever there's a will There is a way! I always say— [ALL] Give them what they want [LAWRENCE & ANDRE] Smooth and breezy [ALL] Exactly what they want [LENORE] An escape from the ennui [ALL] Give them what they want [ANDRE] Nothing cheap or cheesy [LAWRENCE] Remember what they really want is— [ANDRE] Exhibit B: [LAWRENCE] Sophia, loaded down with lira Spied a grey hair in the mirror So she made a resolution to cut loose Her family fortune is obscene Her dad invented Orangina Now sit back and watch While I turn up the juice— [ENSEMBLE] Top of the illusion For fantasy, the man to see is you And so in conclusion All you're doing is you're— [ALL] Giving them what they want [LENORE] Fire [SOPHIA] And passion [ALL] Exactly what they want [LAWRENCE] And never close the door [ENSEMBLE] Giving them what they want [ANDRE] 'Til it's time to cash in [LAWRENCE] And then you've got to leave them wanting— [ALL] More, more, more More, more, more! Give them what they want Give them what they want Give them what they want Some sugar in their tea Give them what they want! [LAWRENCE] Here, I'll make it easy: Remember, what they really want is— [ENSEMBLE] What we really want is Ahh... [LAWRENCE] Me [ENSEMBLE] Mais oui!
