Pitkin’s Song Lyrics by Samuel Ramey

Bernstein: On the Town

0

[PITKIN]
When I was five my brother stole my lollipop
My lollipop stole he!
But I didn't mutter, "Damn your hide"
He needed candy more than I'd
So instead of biting off his hand
I just said, "Goo! I understand!"
When I was ten my mother trounced me with a mop
With a mop trouncèd she me!
But I didn't mutter, "Damn your eyes"
I knew she needed exercise
So instead of joining a gypsy band
I just said, "Mom, I understand!"
At thirty a man in a car ruthlessly ran me down
He ruthlessly down ran me!
But I didn't mutter, "Damn your spleen"
For a man's a man, but a car's a machine
So instead of stripping him of his land
I just said, "Jack, I understand!"
Now I'm forty-five and I've mеt Claire, we're еngaged to wed
Engaged to wed are we!
But tonight I tell you, "Damn you, Claire"
You played me evil and that's not fair!
So instead of remaining calm and bland
I hereby do not understand!
