Thoroughly Modern Millie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[MILLIE]
They said I would sing the homesick blues....
Granny, dear, Mother mine
Old and gray at twenty-nine
Calloused hands, broken heart
Dreams that die before you start
(spoken)
I ain't got nothin'.... so I ain't got nothing to lose!
Who needs a hat? Who needs a purse?
And who needs you, mister whoever-you-are?!
'Cause I'm a pioneer woman, pal!
The Woolworth building! The Met Life Tower!
There's gold in them there hills, and I'm gonna get it or die trying!
(sung)
Days of yore, kind and gentle
Ask me if I'm sentimental
Not for the life of me!
Boh-doh-dee-oh
Not for the life of
Not for the life of
Not for the life of me!
[GLORIA, ALICE, RITA, RUTH, CORA & LUCILLE]
Burn the bridge. Bet the store
Baby's coming home no more
Not for the life of me
[LUCILLE & RITA]
A life that's gotta be more than a one-light town
Where the light is always red
[ALICE & CORA]
Gotta be more than a one-light town
Where the light is—
[GLORIA & RUTH]
Gotta be more than a one-light town
[ALL]
Gotta be more than an old ghost town
Where the ghost ain't even dead
Clap your hands, just because
Where I am ain't where I was!
Not for the life of
[LUCILLE]
Me
[CORA]
Me
[ALICE]
Me
[RUTH]
Me
[GLORIA]
Me
[RITA]
Boh-doh-dee-oh
[ALL]
Not for the life of
Not for the life of me!
