Adelaide Lyrics by Tim Flavin

Guys and Dolls: First Complete Recording

0

[NATHAN]
\nUnaccustomed as I am to gettin' married
\nI am takin' this occasion here to say
\nThat me and Adelaide are finally naming the day
\nThough she knows deep in her heart
\nI'm a phony and I'm a fake
\nShe wants five children to start
\nFive's a difficult point to make
\n
\nBut Adelaide, Adelaide
\nEver-lovin' Adelaide
\nIs takin' a chance on me
\nTakin' a chance
\nI'll be respectable and nice
\nGive up cards and dice
\nAnd go for shoes and rice
\n
\nSo gentlemen, deal mе out
\nDo not try to feel me out
\nI got no more evеnings free
\nSince Adelaide, Adelaide
\nEver-lovin' Adelaide
\nIs takin' a chance
\nTalk about your long shots
\nTakin' a chance on me
\n
\nAdelaide, Adelaide
\n
\n[MEN]
\nEver-lovin' Adelaide
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nIs takin' a chance on me
\nTakin' a chance
\nI'll be respectable and nice
\n
\n[BENNY]
\nGive up the cards and dice?
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nAnd go for shoes and rice
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nSo gentlemen, deal me out
\nDo not try to feel me out
\n
\n[MEN & NATHAN, spoken]
\nYou've got no more evenings free (You may scratch me)
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nSince Adelaide, Adelaide
\nEver-lovin' Adelaide
\nIs takin' a chance
\n
\n[MEN]
\nTalk about your long shots
\n
\n[NATHAN & MEN]
\nTakin' a chance
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nOn me\n\n
