Cole Porter
The Gypsy in Me
[EVELYN, spoken]
Miss Sweeney, I've never told anyone this before. It's the Oakleigh family secret. There's something dark and savage in our blood. In mine especially

(sung)
Long, long ago
So long ago
I hardly know when
My great-great-grandmother
Now and then
Stepped out with a gypsy

Of course you will say she was
A little bit tipsy
But tipsy, no, no
Of their love there wasn't a doubt
So I can't wait to get the stage all set
So I can let the gypsy in me out

Hiding away
There's a little bit of gypsy in me
That's never been found
Waiting its day
There's a little bit of gypsy in me
Just hanging around
'Til the magical night
When the stars by their light
Give mystery to the sleeping lagoon
While a haunting guitar
Not too near, not too far
Gaily strums away
Hums away
A titillating tune
When I'm there in that dream
With the one in the world
I worship passionately
At the moment supreme
Will be shown the unknown
Gypsy in me

When I'm there in that dream
With the one in the world
I worship passionately
At the moment supreme
Will be shown the unknown
Gypsy in me
Ahh! Argh!
