Original Broadway Cast of 42nd Street
Getting Out of Town
[WOMAN 1]
I'm grabbin' my hat and coat
[MAN 1]
I'm leavin' the cat a note
[MAN 1 AND WOMAN 1]Man 1 and Woman 1:
Quick, call me a ferry-boat
Gettin' out of town
[MAN 2]
I'm shinin' my travelin' shoes
Big scoop in the Daily News
"Who's sayin' his toodle-oos?"
Gettin' out of town
[GIRLS]
We're leavin' the boys in style
We're linin' 'em up in file
And givin' them each a smile
Gettin' out of town
[ALL]
Cares fly by
They're goin' bye, bye
And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"
Wings spreadin' 'cause we're headin' for
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha
My neighbors are awful nice
They promised to feed the mice
Hey, Iceman - don't need your ice!
Gettin' out of town
Cares fly by
They're goin' bye, bye
And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"
Wings spreadin' 'cause we're headin' for
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha
A new kind of company
It's just magnetizin' me
I'm footloose and fancy-free
Gettin'
Gettin' out
Gettin' out of town
