Opening Medley Im Getting Wet and I Dont Care At All by Various Artists Lyrics
I. "Hi Diddle Dee (An Actor’s Life For Me)"
“Damn it all
Everything but the circus”
Wonder who said that?
Somebody told us what we wanted to be
It was candy for the mind
Look behind and you’ll see
It was circus-y
It was hi-diddle-diddle
It was cat and the fiddle
It was safe as can be
It was right down the middle
It was fantasy, fantasy galore
It was everything we ever wanted
It was that and so much more
Who was it that said
“Damn it all
Damn everything
But the circus”?
II. “Little April Shower”
[Verse 1]
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
Beating a tune as you fall all around
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
What can compare to your beautiful sound?
Beautiful sound, beautiful sound
Drip, drop, drip, drop
[Verse 2]
Drip, drip, drop where the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music can brighten the day
Drip, drip, drop when the sun says howdy
You say goodbye right away
[Bridge]
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
Beating a tune everywhere that you fall
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
I’m getting wet and I don’t care at all
[Chorus]
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drop, drip, drop
[Verse 3]
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
Beating a tune as you fall all around
(Drip, drip, drop, little April shower)
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
(Beating a tune as you fall all around)
What can compare to your beautiful sound?
(Drip, drip, drop, what a beautiful sound)
[Outro]
Drip, little drop, little April serenade
(Drip, little drop, little April serenade)
Gay little, gay little April serenade
(Gay little, gay little April serenade)
Drip, drip, drip, little April shower
Beating a tune as you fall all around
(Drip, drip, drop, little April shower)
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower
(Beating a tune as you fall all around)
III. “I Wan’na Be Like You”
[Verse 1]
Now I’m the kind of the swingers’ world
The jungle V.I.P
I’ve reached the top and had to stop
And that’s what’s a-bothering me
I wanna be a man, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I’m tired of monkeying around
[Chorus]
So, ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You’ll see it’s true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
[Verse 2]
Now don’t try to kid me, man-cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man’s red fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret, man-cub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man’s red flower
So I can be like you
[Chorus]
So, ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You’ll see it’s true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
You’ll see it’s true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
“Damn it all
