Stephen Sondheim
You’ll Never Get Away From Me
[ROSE]
You'll never get away from me
You can climb the tallest tree
I'll be there somehow
True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat"
But a little thing like that
Couldn't stop me now
I couldn't get away from you
Even if you told me to
So go on and try!
Just try
And you're gonna see
How you're gonna not at all get away from me!
[HERBIE]
Ah, Rose—
Rose, I love you
But don't count your chickens
[ROSE]
Come dance with me
[HERBIE]
I warn you
That I'm no Boy Scout
[ROSE]
Relax a while—come dance with me
[HERBIE]
So don't think
That I'm easy pickin's—
[ROSE]
The music's so nice—
[HERBIE]
Rose!
'Cause I just may
Some day
Pick up and pack out
[ROSE]
Oh no, you won't
No, not a chance
No argument
Shut up and dance
[ROSE & HERBIE]
I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to—
[ROSE]
Well, go on and try!
Just try—
[HERBIE]
Ah, Rose!
[ROSE]
And you're gonna see—
[HERBIE]
Ah, Rose!
[ROSE]
How you're gonna not at all
Get away from me!
