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!
