Parade movie - Leo at Work/What Am I Waiting For? lyrics
rate me<br>
TOWNSPEOPLE:<br>
Strong and Sure is the dream of Atlanta<br>
Where Her Brothers are unified!<br>
<br>
LEO:<br>
Twenty-eight bottles of caps<br>
At four dollars the gross<br>
This is wrong, this is wrong<br>
I can fix this, wait<br>
Nine more boxes in back<br>
Twenty-eight minus nine,<br>
And then thirty-one girls on the line..<br>
<br>
LUCILLE:<br>
Suit and a Tie...<br>
Terribly quiet...<br>
Quite a well-paid position<br>
"Go on Lucille<br>
Bring him his coffee.."<br>
<br>
LEO:<br>
Times six, one eighty-six<br>
Divide... seven sixty<br>
God, all the noise, and on "Yontiff" yet...<br>
Four cents a girl for the week<br>
At ten cents an hour<br>
<br>
LUCILLE:<br>
Straight from New York, Lucille!<br>
Isn't he smart, Lucille!<br>
<br>
Mama, he's comin' around today<br>
Mama, he's at the door!<br>
Mama, I don't know what I should say<br>
"Well what are you waitin' for Lucille?"<br>
What am I waiting for?<br>
<br>
LEO: <br>
This is wrong, this is wrong, it's an eight, not a six<br>
<br>
LUCILLE:<br>
House and a maid<br>
Two sets of china<br>
Everything I ws wishin'<br>
New winter coat<br>
Real ermine collar<br>
Who would have known Lucille?<br>
Married so well Lucille?<br>
<br>
How can he want me, so plain, so prim?<br>
How can he be so sure?<br>
Don't I wish I could be sure like him?<br>
Like Leo?<br>
<br>
LEO:<br>
Yes Lucille, I am building a life for us<br>
<br>
LUCILLE: For Leo?<br>
<br>
LEO:<br>
No Lucille, we cannot have a picnic<br>
<br>
LUCILLE:<br>
Didn't my wishes come true for me<br>
The day he walked throught the door?<br>
Isn't he all that I knew he'd be?<br>
Brilliant and filled with humility?<br>
Loyal and stable as any tree?<br>
So why do I wait for more?<br>
What am I waiting for?<br>
<br>
LEO:<br>
Twenty-tree cartons of leads<br>
At two-sixty the gross<br>
This is wrong, this is wrong<br>
I can fix this...<br>
<br>
MARY: Hey<br>
LEO:Yes?<br>
MARY: I came for my pay.<br>
LEO: Name?<br>
MARY: Mary Phagan<br>
<br>
<br>
