Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (1999 Musical "Mamma Mia")

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away?

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Sorry to drag you away

God, thank God you did

This used to be a quiet wee island

Regretting you stayed away so long?

I'm regretting I never knew what was here

What?

Well, this place, you know, the Taverna

I always meant to come back and build it someday

But, uh, she beat me to it

Well, do you prefer buildings to people?

What?

Tell me something about my mum

Your mum, well, she was irresistible, oh, she was one off

Well, um, we talked and, uh, we fought

You know it was me that brought her to this island

And that wasn't the only thing you did, was it?

Alright, what's she told you?

Oh, nothing, she's never mentioned you

But you said, "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days"

What's going on?

Sophie, why am I here?

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Fancy, Donna with a grown-up daughter

Have you got any children, Harry?

No, I haven't put myself in the path of paternity

It's never too late

I don't think my other half would agree

Oh, you don't want children

Oh, no, no, it's not that, it's just that

Well, I'd have liked a daughter

I'd have spoiled her to bits

Lucky thing

Is then your dad here?

I don't know

What?

I don't know who my dad is

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer

Can I be nosy?

I'm a writer, so it goes with the territory

Go on

Well, how did your mother get this place?

When I knew her, she was singing in a nightclub on the mainland

She was left some money in a will

We lived with an old lady when I was little

Her name was Sophia

What, my great-aunt Sophia?

I think it must be

Ah, but I always heard her money went to family

Wait a minute, how old are you?

Twenty

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
