Cagney - A Work Of Genius Lyrics |
Off-Broadway musical (2016) Cagney the Musical - A Work Of Genius Lyrics
(Music & Lyrics by Christopher McGovern)
Jack Warner (spoken): Get me them both!
(sings) If I want it done right It’s up to me then But I only got two hands instead of ten So it’s "hey you" – "you there" "Somethin’ else to do there" Or you’ll be out there shining shoes again!
A work of genius Don’t have to take time It just takes purpose A dream and a dime The clock is ticking So fill the marquee A work of genius can be simple – look at me
If I want it done right It’s me – that’s swell ‘Cause i’m the person in personnel So it’s "action" – "rolling" But never too controlling I only got one voice to give ‘em hell
A work of genius Sometimes can be sweet If that ain’t workin’ They need to be beat But with a smile You kill ‘em with kind A work of genius takes a simple state of mind
Not to mention promotion
Jane (spoken): Yes!
Jack warner: Devotion
Jane (spoken): Yes! Jack Warner: All the while controlling your emotion
Jane Jane (spoken): Right...
Jack Warner: Cost reduction
Jane Jane (spoken): Right... Jack Warner: Reproduction
Jane: Yes!
Jack Warner: All under my gentle instruction
Jane (spoken): Yes! Jack Warner: It's a winner's table - grab a chair And make a toast to me Which I'll gladly take With my customary humble joie de vie
Jack Warner (spoken): Get me casting!
Jane (spoken): Yes sir.
Jack Warner (spoken): No actor’s gonna get the best of me. Actors are a dime a dozen.
Jane (spoken): Casting Mr. Warner.
Jack Warner: Warner here. Who’s making a big splash on broadway right now? Yes, this minute. Well Who’s in this morning’s paper? Cagney? James cagney. The next big thing, huh? Well, fly him out to los angeles!
Warner: Jane: A work of genius Isn’t he swell? Requires a czar Tho sometimes I’m the only one To make ‘em happy Who can tell... To make ‘em a star But okey dokey I don’t need credit You need the right key! Oh can’t you see? A work of genius can be Humble
Jane: Gorgeous
Jack Warner (spoken): Huh?
Jane (spoken): Nothing.
Jack Warner: Look at me
Jane (spoken): I am Mr. Warner. Sugar?
