Harold Wheeler - More Than We Bargained For lyrics

[TERRY] Some hidden magnet Is pulling me back Back to this strange little show An invisible force Dragging me off-course Pulling me somewhere I know I shouldn't go I want, I want I want to see her I want, I want To look at her face I need, I need I need to see her That's why I'm back in this place [BUDDY] We can't wait to show you The work we've accomplished You won't believe your own eyes Meeting each night At the oddest of hours But oh, how each hour flies Our two girls have a special gift I've only begun to explore Any clouds of doubt will lift I think we're getting more Than we bargained for [TERRY, spoken] We'll see about that. Sounds like you've managed okay here. [BUDDY] Working in the midst Of the strangest folks They're helpful I like them They get my jokes I thought they were performers In a sad, bleak show But here I am, I fit right in Into a freak show [TERRY, spoken] So, Buddy, you finally found a home. Have the girls given you any trouble? [BUDDY] Well Violet is slow But we work till she gets it Daisy does everything right I'm more concerned With some personal questions I swear I did not invite— I think Violet's sweet on me Sweet's very hard to ignore Daisy mentions you with glee I think we're getting more Than we bargained for [TERRY, spoken] Daisy asks about me? [BUDDY, spoken] Only about fifty times a day. [TERRY, spoken] Ha, you're kidding. (sung) She thinks I'll make her famous Get her foot in the door [BUDDY] I think we're getting more Than we bargained for. Do you think they're pretty? [TERRY] Pretty? [BUDDY] Well, they are [TERRY] Let's get 'em flowers [BUDDY] That's going too far [TERRY, spoken] Why? [BUDDY] Flowers are romantic Romance is in the air So beware! [TERRY, spoken] Buddy, you've got so much to learn. (sung) You don't know women [BUDDY] Not like them [TERRY] Let me set you right [BUDDY] I know more than you think [TERRY] They'll try to hook you [BUDDY, spoken] Oh, come on.​ [TERRY] But you don't have to bite I've known lots of women [BUDDY] So I've heard [TERRY] The lovely The gruesome I've seen things I've tried things But never a twosome! [BUDDY] I'm not interested in that [TERRY] Then close your eyes [BUDDY, spoken] What? [TERRY] Just a little joke [BUDDY] It's no joking matter [TERRY] You worry too much [BUDDY] I'm just saying we need to look— [TERRY] Look at what? [BUDDY] —Look at where this road leads [TERRY] To vaudeville [BUDDY] It's not right that we overlook their needs [TERRY] We're giving them the chance of a lifetime [BUDDY] They have needs [BUDDY] Are we doing what's fair and right? [TERRY] Yes, we are [BUDDY] Wish I could know what's in store [TERRY] Who knows that? [BUDDY & TERRY] The future should be clear tonight [BUDDY] I think we're getting more— [TERRY] Are we getting more— [BUDDY & TERRY] Than we bargained for Than we bargained for Than we bargained for
