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!
