original london cast of "the woman in white" - you can get away with anything lyrics

Loading...

scene: “the seduction”

(fosco’s lodgings in london. we see him at home in a strange, surreal lair—full of caged animals birds and mice. he is packing)

[fosco]
it’s time to fly the coop, my doves! arriverderci, londra! no tears, bambini. you must learn to fare la bella figura! put on a good show! always, count fosco… he puts on a good show

(fosco performs for his animals)

my little friends
you are all in this world that i trust
now we must find a new home
and i see you’re nonplussed

now that we’ve won
and we have all the spoils
we must see
that we don’t miss the boat
but you’ll forgive me if i take
a moment
to gloat

you can get away with anything
it all comes down to style
you’ll have a captive audience
as long as you beguile

yes, you can have your cake and eat it
the love of those whom you betray
but you can’t get away with anything
if you don’t get
away!

i admit that i’m a criminal
obsessed with perfect crimes
but even one as good as i
can bungle it sometimes

yes, even one who is a g*nius
can now and then get in a scr-pe
but no endeavor’s a catastrophe
as long as you escape

and we are off! out the door!

we’ll pack our bags, my little friends
and leave the scene while we are winners
and long before the story ends
as wealthy, unrepentant sinners
we all have got a spot of farce in us
but only some of us are larcenous
and fewer still divine the thrill in us
that comes from being truly villainous

you can get away with anything
to prove it is my sport
i live to push the boundaries
to break the rules, in short

one must be something of a bounder
if one intends to play this game
there’s only one thing that one has to have
one has to have
no shame!

yes, i can get away with everything
because i have
no
shame shame shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
no no no no no no
no no no no no
no no no no no-oooooooooooooo
no
no, oh, oh
no shame!
