lirik lagu stephen sondheim - me and my town
[cora hoover hooper]
everyone hates me, yes, yes
being the mayoress, yes
all of the peasants
throw rocks in my presence
which causes me nervous
distress, yes
(wailing)
ooooooh….
me and my town, battered about
everyone in it would like to get out
me and my town
we just wanna be loved!
stores are for rent, theaters are dark
gr-ss on the sidewalks, but not in the park
me and my town, we just want to be loved
the people are starving
so they sleep the day through
my poor little people
what can they do?
[pageboys]

somebody, please buy a ticket to us
