Anything Goes movie - The Gypsy in Me lyrics

<br>

[EVELYN]<br>

I've never told this to anybody before, Miss Sweeney. <br>

It's the Oakleigh family secret. There's something <br>

dark and savage in our blood. In mine especially. <br>

You see... <br>

<br>

Long, long ago, <br>

So long ago <br>

I hardly know when, <br>

My great-great-grandmother <br>

Now and then <br>

Stepped out with a gypsy. <br>

<br>

Of course she will say she was <br>

A little bit tipsy. <br>

But tipsy, no, no. <br>

Of their love there wasn't a doubt, <br>

So I can't wait to get the stage all set <br>

So I can let the gypsy in me out. <br>

<br>

Hiding away <br>

There's a little bit of gypsy in me <br>

Just hanging around <br>

Till that magical night <br>

When the stars by their light <br>

Give mystery to the sleeping lagoon, <br>

While a haunting guitar <br>

Not too near, not too far, <br>

Gaily hums away, <br>

Strums away <br>

A titillating tune. <br>

<br>

When I'm there in the dream <br>

With the one in the world <br>

I worship passionately, <br>

At the moment supreme <br>

Will be shown the unknown <br>

Gypsy in me.<br>

<br>
