London Voices
This quartet from the Broadway musical On the Town finds the main character, Gabey, at a low point because of his dashed dreams of a date with Ivy. His friends attempt to cheer him up with their friendship and the promise of a date with Hildy’s roommate, Lucy Schmeeler.
[HILDY]
I'm eager to share
My love and devotion
It's deep as the ocean
I've plenty to spare
And since it's so ample
I'll throw you a sample
I will fix you up on the spot
So forget the things you have not
Can't you see, kid, what a very rare treasure you got?
Ya got me, baby, ya got me!
You got my affection, baby
And my sympathy
You got my whole muscular equipment from A to Z
And it's free, baby
It's all free
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
It's all free, it's all free, it's all free
[OZZIE]
Ya got me, Gabey, ya got me!
You got my enthusiasm on the land and sea
[CLAIRE, HILDY & CHIP]
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
[OZZIE]
You got my whole knack of getting ladies, it can't be beat
And it's free, Gabey
It's all free
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
It's all free, it's all free, it's all free
[CLAIRE]
I'm filled to the brim with eager affection
That seeks a direction
My vigor and vim leave no one excluded
And you are included
I will get you out of your lull
You won't feel unwanted or dull
If you'll get this through that normal, Neanderthal skull
Ya got me, baby, ya got me!
You got my extensive knowledge of anatomy
[HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
Of anatomy!
[CLAIRE]
You got my whole interest in mankind of every breed
And it's free, baby
It's all free
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
It's all free, it's all free, it's all free
[CHIP]
Ya got me, Gabey
Ya got me!
You got a guy who always functions systematically
[CLAIRE, HILDY & OZZIE]
'Matic'ly
[CHIP]
You got my whole family in Peoria, for you to see!
And it's free, Gabey
It's all free
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
It's all free, it's all free, it's all free
[CLAIRE & HILDY]
Ya got we, Gabey
Ya got we
[OZZIE & CHIP]
You got a date with Lucy Schmeeler, girl of mystery
[CLAIRE & HILDY]
Mystery!
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
You got her whole reservoir of passion to fill your need
And it's free, Gabey
Without fee, Gabey
Can't you see, Gabey
It's all free!
[CLAIRE & HILDY]
Ya got he!
[CHIP & OZZIE]
Ya got she!
[CLAIRE, HILDY, CHIP & OZZIE]
Ya got we!
