Eddie & Mae Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Wild Party (LaChiusa)

The Wild Party (Original Broadway Recording)

0

[EDDIE, spoken]
I usually go on just before the headliner and always right after Piergo’s Trained Birds. And then it’s "Ladies and Gentlemen - Eddie Mackrel. The Champ!" Course it ain’t nothing like the real thing. Ain’t nothing like being in the ring
[MAE, spoken]
My Eddie's a hero just like Lindberg, except Lindberg's white and flies planes. My Eddie's colored and beats people up
[EDDIE]
So I’m there in the ring
And the crowd starts to shout
I go in for the kill
And I knock the man out
And the referee barks-
It’s the end of the bout
And that’s the first time they called me
‘The Champ’
Yeah!
Those were the days
I ascended on high
Taking on the Golden Boy
O’Malley. Oh my
Bye-by those were the years. And I
Gave ‘em plenty of reasons to call me
"The Champ"
The Women...
Anyone I wanted anyway-
Browns and blondes and women:
And then somehow. I was. One day
Eddie and Mae
Champ's got a wife
Got settled down
Got a whole diff'rent life
Can't take the golden boy on anymore
It's only on stage
I'm what I was before
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
[MAE]
So he gave me the ring in Buffalo
And girls, I’m glad I left the show-
I figure. One door opening is-
Uh, you know
Life is a dream since I married The Champ’
He plays the week and Saturdays
Three a night
Plus matinees
In Detroit the theater ran out an ‘A’s
So the marquee read:
‘The Chomp’
The women
They flock around him like hungry birds
Jealous, jealous women -
Cuz my future lies in three little words
Eddie and Mae
Talk about bliss
Nobody here's got it better than this
So what if I gave up my place on the line
At least I got something I call mine all mine
[MAE, (EDDIE)]
Eddie and Mae (Duck!)
Eddie and Mae ( Jab)
Eddie and Mae (Fake)
Eddie and Mae (Left! He's out!)
Eddie and Mae (Those were the days)
Ain't we a team? (Of my holy fame)
Happy as clams (King of the hill )
Life is a dream ( At the top of my game)
[EDDIE]
The crowd going wild at the sound of my name!
Before-
[MAE]
Everything seems possible since
[EDDIE AND MAE]
I became
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and Mae
Eddie and --
Mae
