Bernstein: On The Town - 6. Carried Away(Live) - Frederica von Stade/David Garrison/London Symphony Orchestra/Michael Tilson Thomas

作词：Betty Comden/Adolph Green

作曲：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

You get carried just carried away

When I sit and listen to a symphony

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

Why must I leap upon the stage hysterically

They're playing pizzicato

And everything goes blotto

I grab the maestro's stick and start in leading the band

Carried away carried away

I get carried just carried away

And when I go to see a moving picture show

And I'm watching actors in a scene

I start 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 just carried 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 just carried away

When shopping I'm a sucker for a bargain sale

If something is marked down upon a shelf

My sense of what is practical begins to fail

I buy one then another

Another then another

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

Carried away carried away

He gets carried just carried away

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

Golly how I hate to see them go

For then my love of travelling I can't restrain

The time has come for parting

The train's already starting

I hop a freight and in a flash I'm off to buffalo

We get carried just carried a way
