They Don't Know - Harriet Harris

作词：Dick Scanlan

作曲：Jeanine Tesori

They don't know my flare for the dramatic

Not a clue the talent I possess

Pretty girls but not much in the attic

Face to face with genius

And they never guess

They don't know they're staring at an artist

Highly trained to take on any role

Skillful mime and brilliant laundry cart-ist

Seeking retribution

For the life they stole

I almost acted Chekhov

Ibsen Shaw Molier

I almost stared as Peter Pan

Imagine moi midair

I almost tackled Shakespear a blushing Juliet

And if the house were big enough

I still could play her yet

They don't know I'm hotter news than Duse

Helen Hays and Benrhardt all in one

They're on top

And I look like the loser

Wait and see who's standing

When my play is done

So welcome all ye bright and young ladies

Your checking in to hotel Hades

I won't stand by while critics praise ya

You're getting shipped to Southeast Asia

But they don't know

They don't know

Sad to be all alone in the world

But they don't know
