picture show - original west end cast of bonnie and clyde lyrics
young bonnie:
i can see me, i can see me
livin’ just like clara
sippin’ champagne
can’t you see me?
in the middle of a dance floor
emma parker (spoken):
i can see you sweepin’ the dust off this porch
young bonnie:
that could be me, that could be me
doin’ things like clara
flirtin’ madly, lookin’ dreamy
these are things you take a chance for
woman (spoken):
says here she “dropped out of high school”
young bonnie:
it must be great to be called the “it*girl”
your face on every magazine
that’s where i’m gonna end up some day
trust me
emma parker (spoken):
you are not dropping out of school!
now help me keep the dust off this porch
young bonnie (spoken):
it’s all just gonna be here again tomorrow
emma parker (spoken):
and we’ll sweep it away again tomorrow
young bonnie:
i wanna be her, i wanna be her
dressed in style, like clara
i can see me, can you see me?
the main attraction at the picture show
like clara bow
like clara bow
young clyde:
i wanna live the life of an outlaw
i’m gonna be like billy the kid
and when the law has got me surrounded, no doubt
i’m gonna shoot my way out
there were no man alive to outdraw him
no barroom bully could stand a chance
he had the looks that everyone goes for, me too
billy i want to be you
bang bang! you’re dead!
bang bang! you’re dead!
ain’t nothin’ i can’t do with a gun
cumie barrow (spoken):
go help your pa load the wagon
young clyde (spoken):
why can’t we stay pa?
henry barrow (spoken):
i don’t own the land and it ain’t worth it for them to have me work it no more
cumie barrow (spoken):
you’re gonna like west dallas
young bonnie (spoken):
it’s the devil’s back porch
emma parker (spoken):
you watch that mouth of yours
young bonnie (spoken):
i didn’t give it that name. it’s what they call west dallas
emma parker (spoken):
with nyour father gone we couldn’t afford to stay in rowena
young bonnie (spoken):
but why here?
emma parker (spoken):
because grandma mary’s been nice enough to take us in
young bonnie (spoken):
god, this place is a sh*thole
young bonnie:
i’ll be ready, i’ll be ready
when i switch to clara
ridin’ horses, goin’ steady
with a guy who owns a jazz bar
young clyde:
i’m gonna make a whole lotta money
i won’t count cents like my ma and pa
i will wear sunday clothes on a tuesday some day
no one will stand in my way
adult bonnie:
they say when you’re a star in the movies
you get to keep the clothes you wear
big stars make thirty dollars a week
jesus!
i wanna be her, i wanna be her
dressed in style like clara
i can see me, can you see me?
