[Michael Friedman, Original Cast of Fortress of Solitude - The One I Remember lyrics]

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief
Big man, little man, who ya gonna be
Will you ever sing your song to me?

I don't remember her name
But she was the only white girl on the block

La la la la la la la la

Gowanus, Brooklyn, 1975

La la la la la la la la

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief
Big man, little man, who ya gonna be

Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit

Oh, baby, you're the one I'll remember
But, you're playing me for a fool

Marilla and Lala

Oh, baby, I know all the games you play

Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief
Big man, little man, who ya gonna be
Will you ever sing your song to me?

And now, taking the field
Here are your 1975 New York Mets!

Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit
(sung) i'm ready to start now
So I'm gonna dance to the music, yea yea

Opening move king's gambit
Fisher's game petrov's defense

Strike one bases loaded
It's 3 and 2 just get him out
And that's an -

Arthur Lomb

That's a base hit for Rusty Staub and there's
A runner aboard here in the third!

Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit
Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit
(4 part overlap: definitely need to
Up my table-coding game)

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba (continues under DYLAN
RACHEL and SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS)

Robert Woolfolk

Everybody singing' a different song
But, if they all fit together
Then it can't be wrong

Everybody singing' a different song
But, if they all fit together
Then it can't be wrong
Then it can't be wrong

Cadmium yellow light arylide yellow
Indian yellow cadmium orange deep
Permanent carmine

That's my Dad painting upstairs

Don't ever forget who you are

Mr rude, Mingus' dad

Ultramarine blue cerulean blue hue
Cobalt blue hooker's green
Titanium white bone ivory black iron oxide
Mars black neutral grey
Raw sienna earth brown
Burnt umber sparkling pearl
Antique silver brass pearl royal gold

Don't ever forget where you belong
And when you find a place
Where you feel at home
Then you can start to sing your song

And when you find a place
Where you feel at home
Then you can start to sing your song

First time I saw you I knew you were the one
I knew that

No one could compete whoa whoa

But now I see you're always
Looking for something
Better walking down the street

You say you'll change but I
Don't see you try
You play games with my head

Ooh ah you were the one

No one could compete whoa whoa

Ooh oh something better

Ooh ooh ooh don't see you try whoa oh oh

Why are you playing and we won't make it
Can we ever ever ever whoa whoa whoa

Oh, baby, you're the one I'll remember
But, you're playing me for a fool (Yea yea)
Oh, baby, I know all the games you play
But, you never show me the rules

(CRAZY overlap: figure out table another day)
