You'll have to be a little more standoffish
When fellers offer you a buggy ride
ANNIE
I'll give a imitation of a crawfish
And dig myself a hole where I can hide
WILL
I heared how you was kickin' up some capers
When I was off in Kansas City Mo
I heard some things you couldn't print in papers
From fellers who been talkin' like they know!
ANNIE
Foot!
I only did the kind of things I orta, sorta
To you I was as faithful as c'n be fer me
Them stories 'bout the way I lost my bloomers -
Rumors!
A lot of tempest in a pot o' tea!
WILL
The whole thing don't sound very good to me
ANNIE
(spoken) Well, y' see
WILL
(spoken) I go and sow my last wild oat! I cut out all shenanigans. I save my money, don't gamble or drink In the back room down at Flannigans! I give up lotsa other things A gentleman never mentions, But before I give up anymore, I wanta know your intentions!
(sung) With me it's all er nuthin'
Is it all er nuthin' with you?
It cain't be "in between"
It cain't be "now and then"
No half and half romance will do!
I'm a one woman man
Home lovin' type
All complete with slippers and pipe
Take me like I am, er leave me be!
If you cain't give me all, give me nuthin'
And nuthin's whut you'll git from me!
ANNIE
Not even sump'n?
WILL
Nuthin's whut you'll git from me!
ANNIE
With you it's all er nuthin'
All fer you and nuthin' fer me!
But if a wife is wise, she's gotta realize
That men like you are wild and free
So I ain't gonna fuss, ain't gonna frown
Have your fun, go out on the town
Stay up late and don't come home till three
And go right off to sleep if you're sleepy
There's no use waitin' up fer me!
WILL
Oh, Ado Annie!
ANNIE
No use waitin' up fer me!
