I Get Carried Away - Betty Comden/Adolph Green

作词：Betty Comden/Adolph Green/Leonard Bernstein

作曲：Betty Comden/Adolph Green/Leonard Bernstein

Modern man what is it

Just a collection of

Complexes and neurotic impulses

That occasionally break through

You mean sometimes you blow your top

Like me

I do

I try hard to stay controlled

But I get carried away

Try to act aloof and cold

But I get carried away

Carried away

Carried away

I get carried away

When I go to listen to a symphony

Why can't I just say the music's grand

Why must I leap up on the stage hysterically

They're playing it staccato

And everything goes blottal

I grabbed the maestro stick and started leading the band

Carried away

Carried away

I get carried away

And when I go to see a moving picture show

And I'm watching actors in a scene

I stop to think what's happening is really so

The girl I must protect her

The villain don't respect her

I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen

Carried away

Carried away

He gets carried misparade away

I try hard to keep detached

But I get carried away

Try to act less booby hatched

But I get carried away

Carried away

Carried away

He gets carried he's carried away

When shopping I'm a sucker for a bargain sale

If something is marked down upon a shelf

My sense for something that is practical begins to fail

I buy one then another then another then another

I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself

Carried away

Carried away

He gets carried he's carried away

And when I go to see my friends off on a train

Golly how I hate to see them go

And then my love of travelling I can't restrain

The time has come for parting

The train's already starting

I hop afreight and in a flash now I'm off to Timbuktu

Carried away

Carried away

We get carried miscarried aaaaaaah
