Jeanine Tesori
Ring of Keys
[ALISON]
You didn't notice her at first, but I saw her the moment she walked in
She was a delivery woman
She came in with a hand cart full of packages
She was an old-school butch

[SMALL ALISON]
Someone just came in the door
Like no one I ever saw before
I feel...
I feel...

I don't know where you came from
I wish I did
I feel so dumb
I feel...

Your swagger and your bearing
And the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots

And your keys, oh
Your ring of keys

I thought it was s'pposed to be wrong
But you seem okay with being strong
I want...to...
You're so...
It's probably conceited to say
But I think we're alike in a certain way
I...um...

Your swagger and your bearing
And the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots

And your keys, oh
Your ring of keys

Do you feel my heart saying "hi"?
In this whole luncheonette
Why am I the only one who sees you're beautiful?

No, I mean...

Handsome!

Your swagger and your bearing
And the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots

And your keys, oh
Your ring of keys
I know you
I know you
I know you
