i've got it all - cy coleman, on the twentieth century original broadway cast lyrics

Loading...

[lily]
my life is simply great
my silverware is gold
through my bel air estate
champagne’s a flowing river
next to my rolls*royce
a cadillac’s a flivver
i’m in clover
and my cup, it runneth over

i have put my footprints in the wet concrete
my hometown now has a “lily garland street”
i am mobbed by fans who faint and shriek my name
[laughs] the price of fame

look at you and me
the sweetest story told
i’m high as i can be
you’re lying in alley
trilby’s found her voice;
she doesn’t need svengali
you’ve got nothing and i’ve got it all!

forgive my lack of tact
but herе’s the basic fact…
you’ve got nothing and i’ve got it all!
[oscar, spoken]
arе you finished?

[lily, spoken]
no, you are
[sung]
chauffeur, butler, cook

[oscar, spoken]
you’re spoiled

[lily]
they’re foreign and they’re old

[oscar, sung]
your reputation’s soiled;
a billion shopgirls ape you
nightly, nationwide
a billion farmhands rape you

[lily]
please stop trying
what you’d like to sell me
i’m not buying!
don’t come at me with a contract, i will not sign any contract!
[oscar]
contract, contract
who said contract?
did you hear me mention contract?

i came hear with a dream
we shared once, long ago
two hearts with one grand scheme…

[lily, spoken]
don’t you know when something is over?

[oscar, spoken]
this was a professional dream
[sung]
a role, the chance to play, that bernhardt would have paid for

[lily]
save your breath
don’t even try
back again with you?
i’d rather die!

[oscar]
perhaps it’s just as well
i’ve seen you on the screen
on stage you wove a spell
with each new play it deepened
but now your art is gone
it’s co*rs*ned and it’s cheapened
since you rolled out
since you sold out
to cheap hollywood!
sleazy, cheesy hollywood!
pitiful city full of celluloid slime

[lily, spoken]
you’re just jealous

[oscar]
ermine vested, vermine infested
home of freaks and sheiks and geeks
and celluloid crime

[lily, spoken]
sour grapes

[oscar]
playing foolish parts
every part the same
morons who direct
crucify your name
lily on display!
just a bargain sale!
lily, face the truth:
lily, you’ve gone stale!

[lily, spoken]
stale?

[oscar]
another stale, cheap dolly
from cheap, cheap holly**

[lily]
my life is simply great
my silverware is gold
through my bel air estate
champagne’s a flowing river
look at my rolls*royce!

[oscar]
oh, lily, you’ve gone stale!

[lily]
the movie public’s choice!

[oscar]
that’s not the holy grail!

[lily]
all the biggest names in town are begging to be asked to dinner**

[oscar]
give them all a year or so
they’ll drop you for the latest weather

[lily]
did it by myself

[oscar]
keep your tainted pelf

[lily]
got there by myself

[oscar]
landed on the shelf

[lily]
never needed you!

[oscar]
lily, you are through!

[lily]
i’m a winner!

[oscar]
you’re a loser!

[lily]
stop your trying
i’m not buying

[oscar]
tragic story
lost your glory

[lily]
some svegali
in an alley

[oscar]
shopgirls ape you
farmhands rape you

[lily]
i’ve got it!

[oscar]
you’ve lost it!

[lily]
i’ve got it!

[oscar]
you’ve lost it!

[lily]
i’ve got it!

[oscar]
you’ve lost it

[lily]
i’ve got it!

[oscar]
you’ve lost it!
cheap hollywood **

[lily]
i’ve got it all!

[oscar]
cheap hollywood…

[lily]
i’ve got it all!
i’ve got it all!

[oscar, spoken]
you’ve lost it!

[lily]
i’ve
got
it

[both]
all!
