Verse 1
Hello, darling.
(A minor) Pitkin, darling!
I'm glad you're here.
We're going to Coney Island.
Are you?
Yes, uh, look,
uh, you just stay here and,
take care of the check and take
care of Miss Miller, you understand?
Goodbye! Hey,
sir! Gesundheit.
That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.
Do you understand? I always have.
When I was five, my brother stole
my lollipop.
(F major) My lollipop stole he. (C major)
(B flat minor) But I didn't (B flatdim) mutter , damn your hide.
He (B flat minor) needed candy (A major) more
than I'd.
So instead of (C sharp minor) biting off (B flatdim) his hand,
(F major) I just said, (A minor) goo. (B flatdim) I understand.
(A minor) When I was ten,
my mother trounced me
with a mop.
Oh, that's awful.
With (F major) a mop trounced she me.
(C major) But (B flat minor) I didn't mut (B flatdim) ter, damn your eyes.
I (B flat minor) knew she needed (A major) exercise.
So instead (C sharp minor) of joining a (B flatdim) gypsy band,
(F major) I just said, (A minor) Mo m, I (B flat major) (B flatdim) understand.
(A minor) At 30, a man in a car
ruthlessly ran me down,
he ruth (F major) lessly down ran me.
(C major) But I (B flat minor) didn't mutter,
(B flatdim) damn your spleen,
for a man's a (B flat minor) man, but a (A major) car's a machine.
So (C sharp minor) instead of stripping him of (B flatdim) his land,
(F major) I just said, Jack,
(A minor) I (B flatdim) understand. (A minor)
Now I'm 51, and I've met Claire,
we're engaged to wed,
(F major) en gaged to wed, are (C major) we?
But (B flat minor) tonight I tell (B flatdim) you, damn you, Claire,
you (B flat minor) played me evil,
and that's (A major) not fair.
So instead (C sharp minor) of remaining calm (B flatdim) and bland,
(F major) I hereby do not (A minor) (B flat major) un (B flatdim) derstand!
(B flat major)
