stephen flaherty - atlantic city lyrics
evelyn nesbit:
whee!
let’s run away to atlantic city
let’s feel the wind in our hair
father (spoken):
atlantic city is only a temporary answer, mother, but i can’t think of a better one. they can’t take the child away from you if we’re in residence down there, and it’s close enough to come and go as business dictates
evelyn nesbit:
sharing a grand and romantic city
harry houdini:
sea and salty air
father (spoken):
besides, the change of air will do everyone good. did you pack my razor?
mother (spoken):
yes
father (spoken):
i hope you reserved us a parlor car?
mother (spoken):
i did
evelyn nesbit:
train’s gonna take us to the sunniest hideaway
harry houdini:
troubles will slide away
evelyn and houdini:
just a ride away
father (spoken):
it was clear to father that the crisis was driving the spirit from their lives. he had always secretly believed that as a family they were touched by an extra light. he felt it going now. mother, i –
mother (spoken):
there’s the cab
father:
where have i been
how did we change
caught in this strange new music
say, was i away too long
say, when they did they change the song
vacationers:
let’s run away to atlantic city
let’s feel the win in our hair
sharing a grand and romantic city
sea and salty air
train’s gonna take us
to the sunniest hideaway
troubles will slide away
women:
just a ride away
vacationers:
so let’s run away to atlantic city
no one will find us there
vacationers:
down on the sand
there’s a ragtime band
band members:
with a brand-new
ragtime tune
ensemble:
and up in the sky
there’s a grand new jersey moon
let’s go there soon
evelyn:
whee!
i was once the lady friend of stanford white
made me a celebrity overnight
well, overnight things change i guess
i’m in new jersey wearing even less
ladies, there’s a lesson in my tawdry tale
beware the path you choose
oh! oh! justice is never fair
bang! bang! there goes your millionaire
boo hoo! no money, no ring
and you could end up on a swing
and it’s a crime
houdini:
harry houdini, master escapist
buried and chained and tied
evelyn:
oh, justice can be so unfair
houdini:
reaching for danger, darker and stranger
now that his mama’s died
evelyn:
bang! there goes your millionaire
houdini:
conquering fear in hopes he will hear
a voice from the other side
evelyn:
whee!
houdini:
come see houdini’s daring display
evelyn:
come see miss nesbit do four shows a day
evelyn and houdini:
thrilling the crowd and making ’em say
houdini:
let’s run away
all:
let’s run away to atlantic city
evelyn:
let’s run away
ensemble:
my honey
why should we stay in the frantic city
laden with worry and care
oh, let’s run away to atlantic city
no one will find us
evelyn:
no one will find us
all:
no one will find us there
