Rodgers & Hammerstein
All Er Nothin’
[WILL]
You'll have to be a little more standoffish
When fellers offer you a buggy ride
[ANNIE]
I'll give a imitation of a crawfish
And dig myself a hole where I can hide
[WILL]
I heared how you was kickin' up some capers
When I was off in Kansas City, Mo
I heard some things you couldn't print in papers
From fellers who been talkin' like they know
[ANNIE]
Foot
I only did the kind of things I orta, sorta
To you I was as faithful as c'n be for me
Them stories 'bout the way I lost my bloomers—rumors
A lot of tempest in a pot of tea
[WILL]
The whole thing don't sound very good to me
[ANNIE]
Well, ya see
[WILL]
I go and sow my last wild oat
I cut out all shenanigans
I save my money, don't gamble or drink
In the back room down at Flannigans
I give up lots of other things
A gentleman never mentions
Before I give up anymore
I wanta know your intentions
With me it's all or nuthin'
Is it all or nuthin' with you?
It cain't be "in between"
It cain't be "now and then"
No half and half romance will do
I'm a one woman man, home lovin' type
All complete with slippers and pipe
Take me like I am, or leave me be
If you cain't give me all, give me nuthin'
And nuthin's what you'll get from me
[ANNIE]
Not even sump'n?
[WILL]
Nuthin's what you'll git from me
[Instrumental]
[ANNIE]
It cain't be "in between"
[WILL]
Uh-uh
[ANNIE]
It cain't be "now and then"
[WILL]
No half and half romance will do
[ANNIE]
Would you build me a house
[WILL, spoken]
Uh-huh
[ANNIE]
All painted white
Cute and clean and purty and bright
[WILL]
Big enough fer two but not fer three!
[ANNIE]
S'posin' that we should have a third one?
[WILL]
He better look a lot like me
[ANNIE]
The spittin' image
[WILL]
He better look a lot like me
(Spoken)
Oh, Annie
*Instrumental*
[ANNIE]
With you it's all er nuthin'
[WILL, spoken]
Uh-huh
[ANNIE]
All fer you and nuthin' fer me
[WILL, spoken]
Oh, Annie
[ANNIE]
But if a wife is wise, she's gotta realize
That men like you are wild and free
So I ain't gonna fuss, ain't gonna frown
Have your fun, go out on the town
Stay up late and don't come home till three
And go right off to sleep if you're sleepy
There's no use waitin' up fer me
[WILL]
Oh, Ado Annie
[ANNIE]
No use waitin' up fer me
[WILL]
Come on and kiss me
[ANNIE, spoken]
No
[WILL, spoken]
Come on Annie
Come on
[ANNIE, spoken]
No
[WILL, spoken]
Come on
[ANNIE, spoken]
No
