On the Town movie - Carried Away lyrics
rate me<br>
CLAIRE:<br>
Modern man, what is it?<br>
Just a collection of complexes <br>
and neurotic impulses <br>
that occasionally break through<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
You mean sometimes you blow your top, like me?<br>
<br>
CLAIRE:<br>
I do.<br>
<br>
I try hard to stay controlled<br>
But I get carried away,<br>
Try to act aloof and cold,<br>
But I get carried away.<br>
<br>
OZZIE & CLAIRE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
You/I get carried, just carried away!<br>
<br>
CLAIRE:<br>
When I sit and listen to a symphony<br>
Why can't I just say the music's grand?<br>
Why must I leap upon the stage hysterically?<br>
They're playing pizzicato,<br>
And everything goes blotto,<br>
I grab the maestro's stick and start in leading the band!<br>
<br>
OZZIE & CLAIRE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
You/I get carried, just carried away!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
And when I go to see a moving picture show,<br>
And I'm watching actors in a scene,<br>
I start to think what's happening is really so.<br>
The girl, I must protect her.<br>
The villain don't respect her.<br>
I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen!<br>
<br>
CLAIRE & OZZIE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
You/I get carried, just carried away!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
I try hard to keep detached,<br>
But I get carried away.<br>
Try to act less booby-hatched,<br>
But I get carried away.<br>
<br>
CLAIRE & OZZIE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
You/I get carried, just carried away!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
When shopping I'm a sucker for a bargain sale.<br>
If something is marked down upon a shelf,<br>
My sense of what is practical begins to fail;<br>
I buy one, then another,<br>
Another, then another,<br>
I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself!<br>
<br>
CLAIRE & OZZIE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
You/I get carried, just carried away!<br>
<br>
CLAIRE:<br>
And when I go to see my friends off on a train,<br>
Golly, how I hate to see them go.<br>
For then my love of travelling I can't restrain.<br>
The time has come for parting,<br>
The train's already starting,<br>
I hop a freight and in a flash I'm off to Buffalo!<br>
We get carried, just carried a - way!<br>
<br>
OZZIE:<br>
Carried away, carried away,<br>
We get carried, just carried a - way!<br>
<br>
The two get so carried away that they accidentally destroy a dinosaur skeleton which has taken a professor 40 years to reconstruct. The professor and another cop join the ranks of those chasing the sailors.<br>
Elsewhere in the city, Gabey is having trouble making human contact.<br>
<br>
