On the Town movie - Pitkin's Song lyrics

<br>

PITKIN:<br>

When I was five my brother stole my lollipop.<br>

My lollipop stole he.<br>

But I didn't mutter, "Damn you hide,"<br>

He needed candy more than I'd,<br>

So instead of biting off his hand,<br>

I just said, "Goo! I understand!"<br>

<br>

When I was ten my mother trounced me with a mop.<br>

With a mop trounc-ed she me.<br>

But I didn't mutter, "Damn your eyes,"<br>

I knew she needed exercise,<br>

So instead of joining a gypsy band,<br>

I just said, "Mom, I understand."<br>

<br>

At thirty a man in a car ruthlessly ran me down.<br>

He ruthlessly down ran me.<br>

But I didn't mutter, "Damn your spleen,"<br>

For a man's a man, but a car's a machine.<br>

So instead of stripping him of his land,<br>

I just said, "Jack, I understand."<br>

<br>

Now I'm forty-five and I've met Claire,<br>

We're engaged to wed.<br>

Engaged to wed are we.<br>

But tonight I tell you, "Damn you, Claire,"<br>

You played me evil and that's not fair!<br>

So instead of remaining calm and bland,<br>

I hereby do not understand!!!<br>

<br>

Subway Ride and Imaginary Coney Island -<br>

The Great Lover Displays Himself -<br>

Pas de deux<br>
