The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Original 2001 Broadway Cast)

[Ben]
Hey, Tom Sawyer
[Ben and Joe]
Hey, Tom Sawyer
[Ben, Joe, and George]
Hey, Tom Sawyer
[Boys]
Hey, Tom Sawyer
Do you want to play Robin Hood
Hey, where are ya?
We'll be waitin' in ol' Sherwood
Wearin' forest green, meanest gang you ever seen
It just ain't the same till you get here
Hey, Tom Sawyer
We're in an awful jam
Hey, we've all been captured by the Sheriff of Notingham
He's gonna hang us high, it's time to do or die
We're good-er that goodbye without you here
[Girls]
Hey, Tom Sawyer
You and your merry men
Hey, we warned ya
You'll wind up in trouble again
We girls get left behind
You do it ev'ry time
Well we'll all do just fine without you here
[Aunt Polly]
Heaven knows, I'm just one woman
I go to church and I say my prayers
Life at my age oughta be easy
Oh, but life's not fair
He's full of the old Scratch
Impossible to catch
Lord knows I love the child but he's about to drive me wild
I can't do a thing about
Tom Sawyer
Mischievous as a boy can be
Wherever he goes, trouble follows
He don't pay no attention to me
He goes against the grain
He dances in the rain
And I can't do a thing about the boy
[Dobbins]
Knowledge is my avocation
Teaching school my cruel fate
[Sprague]
He's the only explanation for frogs in the collection plate
[Dobbins]
Most days he sits and stares
[Sprague]
His mind is occupied elsewhere
His soul is my concern
[Both]
But Lord, the boy will just not learn
We can't do a thing about
Tom Sawyer
Mischievous as a boy can be
Wherever he goes, trouble follows
He don't pay no attention to me
[Dobbins]
But I will try to teach him
[Sprague]
And I will try to save him
[Aunt Polly]
And I will try to love him just the same
[All three]
But we can't't do a
[All Three]
[Adults]
But we can't do a thing about
the boy
Oh we
[Girls]
Hey Tom Sawyer
can't do a thing about Tom Sawyer
Let's play Robin Hood
Mischievous as a boy can be
Hey,
Wherever he goes trouble
Where are ya?
soon follows
Out in old Sherwood?
He don't pay no attention to me
[All kids]
He
We just want a
goes against the grain
great adventure
He dances in the rain and
Ohhhhhh
we can't do a thing about
We can't do a thing without
Ohhhhh!
The boy!
The boy!
