Pasek & Paul
Some Kinda Time
[Noisy, rowdy MARINES talk over each other.]

[BERNSTEIN, spoken]
Ante up, ante up if you got it!

[BOLAND, spoken]
You're gonna turn to stone when you take one look at my girl.

[BERNSTEIN, spoken]
Says who?

[BOLAND, spoken]
Frisco, here we come!


[BIRDLACE]
You better call the cops and give 'em warning

[BOLAND]
Sound a siren!

[BERNSTEIN]
Bang the bell!

[BOLAND]
A mean Marine rolls in this morning
[BIRDLACE]
On his way to raise some hell!

[BERNSTEIN]
No sweepin' us out

[BIRDLACE]
Or keepin' us quiet

[THREE BEES]
Try it!

[BERNSTEIN]
Through the Golden Gate across the water

[BIRDLACE]
See us comin'?

[THREE BEES]
Hit the dirt!

[BIRDLACE]
Lock your door and hide your daughter

[BOLAND]
Wouldn't want her gettin' hurt
[THREE BEES]
Goin' all in
Throwin' a dogfight
Big night!

The party's on
We've got till dawn
We'll be havin' some kinda time

Some kinda time
Livin' it large
Makin' noise because the boys are now in charge

Some kinda time
Cut all our strings
We'll be kings for an evening
Gonna be havin' some kinda time


[FECTOR, spoken]
I hear you guys are sponsoring a little get-together. The dogfight. I want in.

[BIRDLACE, spoken]
You know the rules?

[FECTOR, spoken]
The Marine with the ugliest date wins the pot.
[BERNSTEIN, spoken]
You got the fifty bucks?

[FECTOR, spoken]
Sure do.

[BOLAND, spoken]
Looks like an outstanding candidate to me.


[BIRDLACE]
We're gonna run the streets and find some trouble

[BERNSTEIN]
One last night we don't forget

[FECTOR/STEVENS]
Drink so deep we're seein' double

[ALL MARINES]
One last night with no regret!

[FECTOR/GIBBS]
Anything goes

[BOLAND/STEVENS]
Sloppy and boozin'
Cruisin'

[BIRDLACE]
A band of brothers you've been given
Pride you never thought you'd feel
The shitty life that you were livin'
Barely seems like it was real

'Cause when it gets rough
Your buddies'll pull you right through

You get that and more when you join the corps
You're in store for some kinda time

[ALL MARINES]
Some kinda time
Don't think it through

[BIRDLACE/BOLAND]
'Cause your gut will tell you what you gotta do

[ALL MARINES]
Some kinda time
Cut all our strings
We'll be kings for an evening
Don't ya miss out on some kinda time

Goodbye to chili fries,
To apple pies,
And Dinah Shore

So long to waffle cones,
New Twilight Zones,
And Lesley Gore

Farewell to Chevrolets,
To Willie Mays,
The corner store

Hats off to you,
Red, white and blue
So raise your cup

[BIRDLACE/GIBBS/STEVENS]
And live it up

[BERNSTEIN]
And live it up

[BOLAND/FECTOR]
And live it up

[ALL MARINES]
And live it up
A wild ride on my last night stateside

The whole damn town is ours to borrow
Nothin' standin' in our way
The whole damn world might change tomorrow
So we go for broke today

Makin' it count
Takin' that one shot we got

[BERNSTEIN/FECTOR/GIBBS/STEVENS]
Ya just don't know where the night might go

[BIRDLACE/BOLAND]
Here's to JFK

[ALL MARINES]
And the USA

Some kinda time
Take what we own
With a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am"
Your boys have grown

Some kinda time
Cut all our strings
We are kings for an evening
Whaddaya say to some kinda[FECTOR/GIBBS/STEVENS]
Time[THREE BEES]
No one'll mind a
Gotta go find a
Leavin' behind a[ALL MARINES]
Gonna be havin'
Some kinda time!
