Whoa, Mama Lyrics by Steve Martin & Edie Brickell

Bright Star (Original Broadway Cast)

0

[Jimmy Ray]
You’re a young girl
And you oughta know better
Than to be here
What would everybody think?
Whoa mama
Better back up slowly
Make a quick getaway and hurry on home
Whoa mama
At the rate you’re going
Your pop’ll get a shotgun have to run men off
They’ll hide in the shadows
Fall out of trees
Wait by your window
Whisper "bless you" when you sneeze
Someone will look at you just like this
Someone will ask you for a kiss
You’re a smart girl
Make a fool of somebody
I’m a smart guy
And I know that it won’t be me
[Alice]
We’ll see
[Jimmy Ray, Ensemble, Both]
Whoa mama
Take a second look
Before you set your sights on me
Whoa mama
I’m a restless small town boy
With a heart as wild
As a big city
[Instrumental]
[Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Ray & Ensemble]
Someone will take your hand just like so
Someone will never wanna let you go
Someone will put you on a pedestal
Someone will tell you you’re Incredible
[Alice, Alice & Ensemble]
I’m a young girl
And I wanna go dancing
Wanna dip and twirl
With the handsomest boy in town
Somebody better comb their hair
And put a clean shirt on
Pick me up at eight
Somebody better take me there
Gonna have a lot of fun on our very first date
Someone will want for you to walk her home
Someone will want a little time alone
Someone will wait as long as it takes for you
[Jimmy Ray]
You’re a sweet girl
Wrap a man around your pinky
On your feet girl
Get goin’ ‘cause it won’t be me
[Alice, Alice & Ensemble]
Somebody’s gonna buzz around me
Like a fuzzy bumble bee
[Jimmy Ray]
Whoa go slow mama
You’re pretty as a daisy
Smell like a rose
Make a man crazy
But it won’t be me
