Mame movie - BOSOM_BUDDIES lyrics
rate me<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
[singing]<br>
We'll always be bosom buddies,<br>
Friends, sisters and pals;<br>
We'll always be bosom buddies,<br>
If life should reject you,<br>
There's me to protect you.<br>
Vera:<br>
If I say that your tongue is vicious,<br>
Mame:<br>
If I call you uncouth;<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>
Will sit down and tell you the truth.<br>
Vera:<br>
[speaking]<br>
Tho' now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting,<br>
Mame:<br>
Tho' often my frank observation might scald;<br>
I've been meanin' to tell you for years<br>
You should keep your hair natural like mine.<br>
Vera:<br>
If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald.<br>
[singing]<br>
But darling,<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
We'll always be dear companions,<br>
Vera:<br>
My crony,<br>
Mame:<br>
My mate;<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
We'll always be harmonizing,<br>
Vera:<br>
Orphan Annie and Sandy,<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
Like Amos and Andy.<br>
Vera:<br>
If I say that your sense of style's as far as off as your youth;<br>
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>
Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth.<br>
Mame:<br>
[speaking]<br>
Each time that a critic has written, "Your voice is the voice of a frog!"<br>
Straight to your side to defend you I rush;<br>
You know that I'm there ev'ry time that the world makes and unkind<br>
remark.<br>
When they say "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!"<br>
[singing]<br>
It hurts me!<br>
Vera:<br>
And if I say your fangs are showing,<br>
Mame, pull in your claws,<br>
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>
Will notice the obvious flaws!<br>
Mame:<br>
[speaking]<br>
I feel it's my duty to tell you it's time to adjust to your age;<br>
You try to be "Peg O' My Heart", when you're "Lady Macbeth."<br>
Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!<br>
Vera:<br>
Well, how old do you think?<br>
Mame:<br>
I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
[singing]<br>
But sweetie,<br>
Vera:<br>
I'll always be Alice Toklas,<br>
If you'll be Gertrude Stein.<br>
And tho' I'll admit I've dished you,<br>
I've gossiped and gloated,<br>
But I'm so devoted.<br>
Mame:<br>
And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star,<br>
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>
Will tell you how rotten you are.<br>
Vera and Mame:<br>
Just turn your bosom buddy<br>
For aid and affection,<br>
For help and direction,<br>
For loyalty, love and for sooth!<br>
Remember that who else but a bosom buddy<br>
Will sit down and level<br>
And give you the devil,<br>
Will sit down and tell you the truth!<br>
<br>
