jason howard & original studio cast of calamity jane - adelaide lyrics
[bill]
if you gave a man a wish, ten to one
he would wish for that
one perfect girl
adelaide, adelaide, adelaide
oh, how lovely you are!
[men]
lovely!
[bill & men]
if you gave a man a dream, ten to one (adelaide, adelaide)
in his dreams, he would hold only you (adelaide, yes you)
adelaide, adelaide, adelaide
you’re his favourite star! (oh, a star!)
[bill]
you’ve heard of helen of troy
of aphrodite, vеnus, too
beautiful dolls, but oh boy
they ain’t just you
if you evеr come to town, busting’ out
in that gown made of silk and brocade
they would have to hire a hall
just to hide the guys who’d fall
for adelaide!
[men]
adelaide! adelaide!
[bill & men]
with the bustle that you wear, i declare
(adelaide, adelaide)
it’s no wonder we’re under your thumb!
(under your thumb)
adelaide, adelaide, adelaide
what a beauty you are!
(oh, what beauty!)
with the way you fill your clothes, and your hose
(adelaide, adelaide)
and that come+hither look in your eye
(look in your eye!)
it’s of you that we think
with each whisky we drink at the bar!
(it’s to you, adelaide)
[bill]
the queen of sheba, and cleopatra
just to name a few
they wouldn’t rate a second look
compared to you
[bill & men]
if a man has any blood in his veins
(adelaide, adelaide)
then i reckon he’s prayed, yes, he’s prayed
(prayes, yes, he’s prayed)
[bill & mem]
that eventually he gets
in a pack of cigarettes
his adelaide
