[WILL]
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
[ANNIE]
No
[WILL]
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 of tea
[WILL]
The whole thing don't sound very good to me
[ANNIE]
Well, ya see
[WILL]
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
With me it's all or nuthin'
Is it all or 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 what you'll git from me
[ANNIE]
Not even sump'n?
[WILL]
Nuthin's what you'll git from me!
[Instrumental]
[ANNIE]
It cain't be "in between"
[WILL]
Uh-uh
[ANNIE]
It cain't be "now and then"
[WILL]
No half and half romance will do!
[ANNIE]
Would you build me a house
All painted white
Cute and clean and purty and bright
[WILL]
Big enough fer two but not fer three!
[ANNIE]
S'posin' that we should have a third one?
[WILL]
He better look a lot like me
[ANNIE]
The spittin' image
[WILL]
He better look a lot like me
All Er Nothin’ was written by Oscar Hammerstein II & Richard Rodgers & Rodgers & Hammerstein.
Gene Nelson & Gloria Grahame released All Er Nothin’ on Mon Aug 01 1955.
The rest of the song is listed as a separate track,“All Er' Nothin' Ballet”, and was not included in the original soundtrack release. It is, however, in reissues of the soundtrack. Oddly, this is the only song to be split up in two where the “ballet” portion has additional lyrics sung. (“Kansas City...
