1974 Broadway Mack & Mabel the Musical - My Heart Leaps Up Lyrics
The song is written by Jerry Herman.
[Mack] Ev'ry time a cop falls down my spirits soar I'm in heaven when a flat foot hits the floor Billy clubs and nightsticks make me feel Happy as a new born pup ' Cause ev'ry time a cop falls down My heart leaps up Hit 'em on the head [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Kick 'em in the shins [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] The heroine's behind Is oh so ripe for bruising Lash 'em in the loin [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Grind 'em in the groin [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha
[Mack] Audiences find That pain is so amusing Everybody loves a little rabbit punching Everybody loves the sound of knuckles crunching So flatten someone's nose
[Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Stub somebody's toes [Kleiman & Fox] Make a little thud Draw a little blood Hit 'em on the head [Mack] Mash 'em in the mouth [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha
[Mack] Jab 'em in the jaw [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Give a violent shove And make it realistic Club 'em on the hip [Kleiman & Fox] Ho ho ho [Mack] Make a swollen lip [Kleiman & Fox] Ho ho ho [Mack] Audiences love to be a bit sadistic [Mack, Kleiman & Fox] People just adore A fight that's death defying Love it even more When there are bullets flying [Kleiman & Fox] So thrash 'em in the thigh [Mack] Ha ha ha [Kleiman & Fox] Blacken someone's eye [Mack] Ha ha ha [Kleiman & Fox] Get 'em in the gut [Mack] Bruise 'em on the butt [Mack, Kleiman & Fox] Hit 'em on the head Cut-out of station house with Kops pouring out of it starts on through following Cause a little wreck [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Break somebody's neck [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Shoot a little gun [Kleiman & Fox] Yes folks, it's scintillating [Mack] Watch the fella feel And slip on that banana peel [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha The public finds it fun When it's excruciating [All three] Everybody loves to see policemen futile In breaking up a brawl That's been divinely brutal [Mack] So bite 'em in the calf
[Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Listen to 'em laugh [Kleiman & Fox] Ha ha ha [Mack] Make a little slash Make a wider gash [All] three Hit 'em on the head
[All] People just adore a fight that's death-defying Love it even more when there are bullets flying So thrash 'em in the thigh Ha ha ha Blacken someone's eye Ha ha ha Get 'em in the gut Bruise 'em on the butt Make a little slash Make a wider gash Bite 'em on the calf Listen to 'em laugh Hit 'em on the head!
