[00:00.00]Carried Away - Betty Comden/John Reardon/Cris Alexander
[00:02.27]Modern man what is it
[00:06.66]Just a collection of complexes
[00:08.73]And neurotic impulses
[00:11.38]That occasionally break through
[00:15.88]You mean sometimes you blow your top
[00:18.41]Like me
[00:20.50]I do
[00:26.02]I try hard to stay controlled
[00:29.47]But I get carried away
[00:32.82]Try to act aloof and cold
[00:36.29]But I get carried away
[00:38.93]Carried away carried away
[00:40.96]Carried away carried away
[00:42.52]You I get carried just carried away
[00:47.31]When I sit and listen to a symphony
[00:50.41]Why can't I just say the music's grand
[00:53.65]Why must I leap upon the stage hysterically
[00:57.07]They're playing pizzicato
[00:58.57]And everything goes blotto
[01:00.17]I grab the maestro's stick
[01:01.47]And start in leading the band
[01:03.34]Carried away carried away
[01:04.67]Carried away carried away
[01:06.31]You I get carried just carried away
[01:10.67]And when I go to see a moving picture show
[01:14.27]And I'm watching actors in a scene
[01:17.48]I start to think what's happening is really so
[01:21.00]The girl I must protect her
[01:22.62]The villain don't respect her
[01:24.28]I leap to her defense and knock a
[01:26.20]Hole right through the screen
[01:27.47]Carried away carried away
[01:28.97]Carried away Carried away
[01:30.69]You I get carried just carried away
[01:43.15]I try hard to keep detached
[01:46.47]But I get carried away
[01:50.02]Try to act less booby-hatched
[01:53.54]But I get carried away
[01:56.26]Carried away carried away
[01:58.32]Carried away carried away
[01:59.98]You I get carried just carried away
[02:04.52]When shopping I'm a sucker for a bargain sale
[02:07.81]If something is marked down upon a shelf
[02:11.22]My sense of what is practical begins to fail;
[02:14.52]I buy one then another
[02:16.33]Another then another
[02:17.94]I buy the whole store out
[02:19.40]And I'm in business for myself
[02:20.77]Carried away carried away
[02:22.57]Carried away carried away
[02:24.36]You I get carried just carried away
[02:28.62]And when I go to see my
[02:29.88]Friends off on a train
[02:32.28]Golly how I hate to see them go
[02:35.42]For then my love of travelling
[02:37.25]I can't restrain
[02:38.96]The time has come for parting
[02:40.67]The train's already starting
[02:42.26]I hop a freight and in a flash
[02:44.10]I'm off to Buffalo
[02:45.40]Carried away carried away
[02:48.43]We get carried just carried a way
