I Walk Away (feat. Matthew Deming, Tom Nelis & Chris Newcomer)

Chita Rivera

5

And now that I′m among you

I notice that you're staring

Where did she get the jewels she′s gotAnd all that fur she's wearing?

I've got a little secret

That I′m more than pleased to tell

I married very often

And I widowed very well

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Zachanassian adored me

Every touch gave him a thrill

If I said I hated winter

He would fly me to Brazil

When an epileptic seizure

Took him out at sixty-nine

He′d acquired lots of oil wells

Now all of them are mine!

So I wore my widow's weeds

And walked away

Though Zach was gone

I sauntered on

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Now the second man I married

Was a very small Chinese

Look at all our wedding pictures

He barely comes up to my knees

When the Asian flu dispatched him

Three little lawyers came to call

Mr. Chu owned chunks of Chile

Now yours truly′s got them all

So I wore my widow's weeds

And walked away

What could I do?

Ciao, Mr. Chu

Number three to five were sickly

They were quickly laid to rest

Plague, cirrhosis and a plane crash

Which left me quite depressed

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Number six was born in Warsaw

He was high class Slavic folk

Though at first he was amusing

He became my Polish joke

When he died of liver failure

Someone read me Freddy′s will

And it said, "To my dear Clara

I bequeath three hundred mill"

So I wore my widow's weeds

And walked away

That poor old Pole

God rest his soul

For money cannot heal

The sorrow that you feel

Any time you feel sorrow

No, no, no

Money can′t erase

The terror that you face

When you're terrified to face tomorrow

Hear what I said

When love is dead

And it is pain

That fills the day

And life is gray

I walk away (doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
