Anne Get Your Gun bits and pieces
It's so nice to have a French bakery nearby. Mmmm. French bread on a Sunday with coffee is very nice.
Today, Ant (also an Aussie) sent me this Application for Australian Citizenship Form. It's quite droll :)
I'm working on a few pic spams for Prison Break (yeah yeah, obsessed. Deeply so), but I have been listening to Annie Get Your Gun. I've never seen the movie or the stage musical, but I do love the 1999 production that starred Bernadette Peters.
I love the banter between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler in this song.
Anything you can do
Annie:
Anything you can do,
I can do better.
Frank:
Ha!
Annie:
I can do anything
Better than you.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can,
Yes, I can!
Frank:
Anything you can be
I can be greater.
Sooner or later,
I'm greater than you.
Annie:
No, you're not.
Frank:
Yes, I am.
Annie:
No, you're not.
Frank:
Yes, I am.
No, you're NOT!.
Frank:
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am!
I can shoot a partridge
With a single cartridge.
Annie:
I can get a sparrow
With a bow and arrow.
Frank:
I can live on bread and cheese.
Annie:
And only on that?
Frank:
Yep
Annie:
So can a rat!
Frank:
Any note you can reach
I can go higher.
Annie:
I can sing anything
Higher than you.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:

Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:

Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I CAN!
Frank (spoken):
How do you sing that high?
Annie (spoken):
I'm a girl!
Frank:
Anything you can say
I can say softer.
Annie:
I can say anything
Softer than you.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can. YES, I CAN!
Frank:
I can drink my liquor
Faster than a flicker.
Annie:
I can drink it quicker
And get even sicker!
Frank:
I can open any safe.
Annie:
Without bein' caught?
Frank:
Too bad!
Annie:
That's what I thought-- you crook!
Frank:
Any note you can hold
I can hold longer.
Annie:
I can hold any note
Longer than you.
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can
Frank:
No, you can't.
Annie:
Yes, I can
Frank:

Annie:
Yes, I can Yes, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I CA-A-A-A-N! (Cough, cough!)
Frank:
Yes, you ca-a-a-an! Where do you keep all that air
Annie:
*gaps*
Frank:
Anything you say
I can say faster.
Annie:
I can say anything
Faster than you.
Frank:

Annie:

Annie:
Yes, I can, can, can (Sugary)
Same time:
Yes, I can! No, you can't!
You can't get a man with a gun is wonderful. That version linked to there is the Bernadette Peters version. Here is the Reba McEntire version. I like REba's but Bernadette is just so sassy! I always choke when I hear her line: "But (boys) they don't buy pyjamas for pistol packin' mamas!!"
Lyrics:
Oh my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say,
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practise all day,
And now tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pin point, I'm number one!
But my score with a fella is lower than a cellar
Oh you can't get a man with a gun!
When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal,
Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
But I lose all my luster
When with a Bronco Buster.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But if shot the herder,
They'd holler "bloody murder"
And you can't get a hug
From a mug with a slug,
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
I'm cool, brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals with "umbrellars" (ooh!)
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
A Tom, Dick or Harry will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can't build your houses
With buckshot in his trousers
And you can't shoot a male
In the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun.
But they don't buy pyjamas
For Pistol packin' mamas,
For a man may be hot but he's not when he's shot!
Oh you can't get a man with a gun!!
This is the song I've been singing along to lately. Old Fashioned Wedding. Frank wants an old-fashioned wedding, Annie wants a big, splashy, tacky one and the way they sing over the top of one another is just so much fun!! :) Frank Butler is sung by Tom Wopat from Dukes of Hazzard and his voice is surprisingly smooth and wonderful! Once you get this song in your head, it lingers in a really good way ... 'we'll have an old fashioned wedding...... ' :)
Lyrics:
Frank:
We’ll have an old fashioned wedding
Blessed in the good old fashioned way
I’ll vow to love you forever
You’ll vow to love and honour and obey
Somewhere in some little chapel
Someday when orange blossoms bloom
We’ll have an old fashioned wedding
An simple wedding for an
Old-fashioned bride and groom
Annie:
I want a wedding in a big church
With bridesmaids and flower girls
A lot of ushers in tailcoats,
Reporters, and photographers
A ceremony with a bishop
who will tie the knot and say
Do you agree to love and honour,
Love and honour yes, but not obey
I want a wedding that’s surrounded
By diamonds and platinum
A big reception at the Waldorf
With champagne and caviar
I want a wedding like the Vanderbilt’s had
Everything big not small
If I can’t have that kind of a wedding
I don’t want to be married at all.
