110 in the Shade 2007 Broadway Revival Cast
You’re Not Fooling Me
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Con man!

Fake!

[STARBUCK]
Lizzie, stop fiddlin' with your buttons
Fiddlin' with your buttons, Lizzie
Nice white dress all buttoned up tight

Lizzie, stop fiddlin' with your buttons
Better check again for certain
Don't want to miss a button, Lizzie

(spoken)
What are you so afraid of?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Leave me alone!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
What are you so afraid of?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Let go of my arm!
[STARBUCK]
You try to be so high and mighty
You act like you're cool as can be
You may fool your brothers
And all of those others
But sister, you're not foolin' me

[LIZZIE]
You ride in your bright shiny wagon
You think that you're something to see
You may fool the locals
With such hocus-pocus
But, mister, you're not foolin' me

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Now, wait a minute. From the minute I came in here, you didn't like me. Why not?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Why? ‘Cause you're a liar and you're a fake.

[STARBUCK, spoken]
How do you know I'm a liar? How do you know I'm a fake? Maybe I can bring rain. Maybe when I was born God whispered something special in my ear. Maybe he said: "Bill Starbuck, you ain't gonna have much in this life. You ain't gonna have no wife and no kids — no green little house to come home to. But Bill Starbuck — wherever you go — you're gonna bring rain!" Maybe that's my one and only blessing.

[LIZZIE, spoken]
There is no such blessing in the whole world.
[STARBUCK, spoken]
Oh, I've seen even better blessings, Lizzie Girl. I got a brother who's a doctor. You don't have to tell him where you ache or where you pain. He just comes in and lays his hand on your heart, and pretty soon you're breathin' sweet again. I got another brother who can play the fiddle — and when he's playin', that tune is there — and it never leaves you. And I used to think — why ain't I blessed Like Fred or Arny? Why am I just a nothin' man, with nothin' special to my name? And then one summer comes the drought, and Fred can't heal it away and Arny can't play it away. But me — well, I go down to the hollow and I look up and I say, "Rain! Dammit! Please —"

(sung)
Let the rain come!
Let the rain come!
Let the rain come!

(spoken)
And the rain came! And I knew — I knew I was part of the family. ...Now, there's a story. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

[LIZZIE, spoken]
I don't believe it.

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Well, you don't believe in anything. You put on a fancy dress and the beau didn't come. So now you're scared nothin'll ever come.[LIZZIE]
You ride in your bright shiny wagon
You think that you're somethin' to see
You may fool the locals
With such hocus-pocus
But, mister, you're not foolin' me
Not me!
Not me! 
[STARBUCK]
You try to be so high
and mighty
You act like you're cool as
can be
You may fool your brothers
And all of those others
But sister, you're not foolin' me
Not me!
Not me![STARBUCK, spoken]
Well, Lizzie, I am sad about you. You don't believe in anything, not even yourself. You don't even believe you're a woman. And if you don't — you're not!
[LIZZIE]
That's not true!
That's not true!
