On the Town: I Get Carried Away / You've Got That Look (That Leaves Me Weak)

I try hard to stay controlled

But I get carried away

Try to act aloof and cold

But I get carried away

Carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away

You get carried, carried away

And when I go to see a moving picture show

And I'm watching actors in a scene

I start to think what's happening is really so

The girl, I must protect her

The villain don't respect her

I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen

Get carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away

He gets carried, we get carried, just carried away

Brilliant, but, but what no one here knows is how he beat the soprano out of his poor baby sister performing all those operas when we were children, let that be fair warning to you and to everyone. Hello! I thought you might be here! You're so good at making the rounds. Have you met the gang? Betty and Adolph, they're just a riot

Hello

Ellen, of course you've run into her at another studio, no doubt

Hello, Felicia

Who did I miss? Have I missed anyone?

Just the piano player

I figured you needed no introduction

Hello, I'm Lenny

Hello, Felicia

Uh, Bernstein, like that one

Montealegre

Monte-Montealegre?

Montealegre-Cohen

Cohen? Montealegre-Cohen? Well, that's an interesting marriage of words

You've got that look, that look that leaves me weak

You with your eyes across the table technique

You've got that look, that look between the lines

You with your let's-get-more-than-friendly designs

I should be brave and say, "Let's have no more of it."

But oh, what's the use when you know I love it?

You'll only kill my will before I speak

So turn on that low left hook, that look that leaves me weak

All I do is whine with 'em

And spit out gum and whine with 'em

Respectable as can be

But here's what they say to me

You've got that look, that look that leaves me weak

You with your eyes across the table technique

You've got that look, that look between the lines

You with your let's-get-more-than-friendly designs

I should be brave and say, "Let's have no more of it."

But oh, what's the use when you know I love it?

You'll only kill my will before I speak

So turn on that low left hook, that look that leaves me weak
