A New Broadway Musical (2016) Tuck Everlasting the Musical - You Can't Trust a Man Lyrics
"You Can't Trust a Man" is a song from the musical 'Tuck Everlasting' performed by Fred Applegate (Constable Joe), Michael Wartella (Hugo).
Hugo: Look at him go! I'd hate to let him get too far ahead...
Constable Joe: Well, a fella dressed in yellow isn't gonna be too hard to track
Hugo: Sure isn't a nice yellow
Constable Joe: Hugo, There's not such thing as nice yellow I don't know, Hugo, I gotta bad feeling it's all gonna come apart like wet bread
[sung] You can't trust a man dressed in yellow Hugo, Only a rogue wears that hue A man who is fondest Of suits that are jaundiced Puts the yolk on him And the joke On you They're tricksy, All men dressed in yellow, Something deadly in their livelihood He must be compensating
Hugo: Also fabricating
Constable Joe: [laughs] Hugo, There you go again! "Fabricating" If he hated the fabric he would have never bought the suit
[sung] He must be compensating
Hugo: Also, Lying
Both: 'bout why he wants the Foster's wood
Constable Joe: Oh you can't trust a man dressed in yellow That I knew from his very first "hello" I should have locked him in a cell, oh
Both: You can't trust a man-
Hugo: From the carnival!
Constable Joe: Also, Carnival men can't be trusted Something wicked there brews underneath Those inbreds' regalia With mad Bacchanalia They all share, maybe, eight teeth I say, Carnival men can't be trusted! Flashy hobos, invading our towns They ask my permission To charge an admission To expose us to Charlatans, acrobats and- [stuttering] c-c-clu
Hugo: Clowns, sir?
Constable Joe: [exhales deeply] I hate them
Carnival men can't be trusted! They're all acutely maladjusted Who knows how their funnel cakes is dusted
Both: No you can't trust a man-
Hugo: With a bad handshake!
Constable Joe: Did you notice his peculiar handshake? His fingers neither flaccid nor firm
Hugo: Like touching a porpoise
Constable Joe: No habeas corpus Can keep that fish
Hugo: Mammal
Constable Joe: From serving full term. Bad handshake, bad man
Both: Watching if his grip lacks a squeeze
Constable Joe: And a carnival man can't be trusted
Hugo: As shifty as a swinging trapeze
Both: And you can't trust a man dressed in yellow! Even if you love cheddar cheese Commingle all of these You'll see the recipe's One bad man One bad man One bad man
Constable Joe: Come along, Hugo Let's pick up the pace.
