[Original Broadway Cast of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Gregory Jbara, John Lithgow - Give Them What They Want lyrics]
Left hand, side pocket
Right arm, akimbo and relaxed
Head up, gaze steady now you're ready so you
Stroll in, survey them
Your world, they're all invited guests
Feel out how to play them and remember this:
You're giving them what they want
Za ba zoovee!
Giving them what they want
An adventure all their own
Giving them what they want
Like they're in a movie
And never forget that what they want is
Half smile
Demi sourire!
David Niven
Put on a
Bold countenance, both tragic and amused
High style
Ah, comme il faut!
That's a given
And don't forget
All I'm doing is, I'm
Giving them what they want
Doo ba zootie!
Specifically what they want
All tied up with a bow for as the poet said
Keats!
"Truth is beauty"
And that is all you really need to know
Your Grace!
This Lady is Lenore
She feels her life's become a bore
You see her husband's ninety-four this May
Buy hey shes down for fifty mil
In an addendum to his will
And wherever there's a will there is a way!
I always say
Give them what they want
Smooth and breezy
Exactly what they want
An escape from the ennui
Give them what they want
Nothing cheap or cheesy
Remember what they really want is
Exhibit B:
Sophia, loaded down with lira
Spied a grey hair in the mirror
So she made a resolution to cut loose
Her family fortune is obscene
Her dad invented Orangina
Now sit back and watch
While I turn up the juice
Top of the illusion
For fantasy, the man to see is you
And so in conclusion
All you're doing is you're
Giving them what they want
Fire
And passion
Exactly what they want
And never close the door
Giving them what they want
'Til it's time to cash in
And then you've got to leave them wanting
More, more, more more, more, more!
Give them what they want
Give them what they want
Give them what they want
Some sugar in their tea
Give them what they want!
Here, I'll make it easy:
Remember, what they really want is
What we really want is ahh
Me
Mais oui!
Right arm, akimbo and relaxed
Head up, gaze steady now you're ready so you
Stroll in, survey them
Your world, they're all invited guests
Feel out how to play them and remember this:
You're giving them what they want
