Original Broadway Cast of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
It Just Ain’t Me
[Huck]
Wearin' tight shoes
Sleepin' indoors
Saying "yes ma'am"
Doing my chores
But if I can't smoke my pipe no more
It just ain't me
It just ain't me
Washin' my hands
Gettin' them checked
Button my shirt up to my neck
I don't mean no disrespect
But it just ain't me
It just ain't me
They say you shouldn't tell a lie to anybody else
So it don't make no sense to try to tell one to myself
To tell one to myself
Home-cooked food
Everynight
Feather bed
Tucked in tight
Sounds like something I might like
She could learn me how to read and write!
But what about Pap?
What if he knew?
He'd cut my throat and the widows too!
I guess some folks dreams come true
But it just ain't me
It just ain't me
No matter how much I'd wish I'd be
It just ain't me
