KMK09 Tom, Dick or Harry 1949 'Kiss Me Kate'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Aug 2003

[Gremio:] I've made a haul
in all the leading rackets
from which riproaring rich
I happen to be
and if thou would'st attain
the upper brackets
Marry me, marry me, marry me!
[Lucentio:] My purse has yet to know
a silver lining
still lifeless is my wifeless family tree
but if for love unending thou art pining
Marry me, marry me, marry me!
[Hortensio:] I come to thee,
a thoroughbred patrician
still spraying my decaying family tree.
To give a social lift to thy position,
Marry me, marry me, marry me,
marry me, Marry me!
Marry me!
[Gremio:] Marry me!
[All Three:] Marry me!

[Bianca:] I'm a maid who would marry
and will take with no qualm
any Tom, Dick or Harry,
Any Harry, Dick or Tom.
I'm a maid mad to marry
and will take double quick
any Tom, Dick or Harry,
Any Tom, Harry or Dick.

[Gremio:] I'm the man
thou should'st marry.
[Bianca:] Howdy, Pop!
[Gremio:] Howdy, Mom!
[Lucentio:] I'm the man
thou should'st marry.
[Bianca:] Art thou Harry, Dick or Tom?
[Hortensio:] I'm the man
thou should'st marry.
[Bianca:] Howdy, Pal!
[Hortensio:] Howdy, chick!
[Bianca:] Art thou Tom,
Dick or Harry?
[Hortensio:] Call me Tom,
Harry or Dick.

[Bianca and Suitors:] I'm a maid
who would marry
and would no longer tarry
I'm a maid who would marry
May my hopes not miscarry!
I'm a maid mad to marry,
and will take double quick
any Tom, Dick or Harry,
any Tom, Harry or Dick;
Adickadick, Adickadick,
Adickadick, Adickadick,
Adickadick, Adickadick!
