original broadway cast of the gay life – i never had a chance lyrics

Loading...

[max, spoken]
magda knows you’re getting married today… you told her, didn’t you?

[anatol]
i never had a chance
i never had a chance
she saw me and she came at me
a dragon spitting flame at me
and there was no retreat from her advance!

i never, no, i never had a chance
she told me fate had sent me to her, to woo her
she told me as she drank my champagne
that night since we broke up, shе woke up
and couldn’t get hersеlf to sleep again

she wept and wept
but never slept
she’d toss and turn and pitch for me
she asked me, did she itch for me in vain?
to quiet her, i ordered more champagne
[max, spoken]
and then you told her!

[anatol]
i never had a chance
i never had a chance!
if tactfulness i threw aside, she might become a suicide
she has a sort of suicidal glance
i never, no, i never had a chance!

to leave this gaudy cellar and tell her
by fair or foul, i had to find a way
i knew i couldn’t handle a scandal
especially upon my wedding day!

it weighed on me
it preyed on me
and when i left the gypsy lair
i wished i’d left the gypsy there, but no
she knew another quiet place to go

[max, spoken]
and then you told her!

[anatol]
i never had a chance
i never had a chance!
i found it hard to find a way while fifty fiddles whined away
and eighty russians leaped into a dance
i never, no, i never had a chance
and with the dawning grey light came daylight
high time i’d found a place where i’d be heard
and in this final chapter, my captor
said “let’s go to your flat”… and i concurred

and so we rode to my abode
but there my tipsy gypsy had a humpty+dumpty fall
she passed out on the bedspread
and was gone beyond recall

[max, spoken]
you mean… you never told her?

[anatol]
i never had a chance at all!
