Pipe Dream - Bums' Opera Lyrics

1955 Broadway
Pipe Dream the Musical - Bums' Opera Lyrics


The song was written by Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II.

JOE:
You may be a wise and intelligent man,
A genius type of Joe
But if a dumb tomato comes after you,
You’ll forget whatever you know.

You can dodge a stick or a stone,
You can duck a punch when it’s thrown,
But you can’t get away from a dumb tomato
When she wants you for her own.

MEN:
You can dodge a stick or a stone,
You can duck a punch when it’s thrown,

JOE:
But you can’t get away from a dumb tomato
When she wants you for her own!
