Broadway production 2012 Nice Work If You Can Get It the Musical - I've Got to Be There Lyrics
"I've Got to Be There" is a song from Nice Work If You Can Get It the musical performed by Matthew Broderick (Jimmy) and Company.
[Jimmy] When I keep seeing things and going places, My life has color; Without new songs, Without new friends and faces, 'Twould be much duller.
Whenever people step up To say, "let's step tonight," If I've been low, I pep up; Again the future's bright! Whenever there's a party I can go to It makes the world seem right!
When music is playing And couples are swaying -- Say! I've got to be there! I've got to be there!
When joy's in the making And ceilings are shaking And there's never a care -- I've got to be there!
Check my hat And throw the stub away! I'm a lamb Who's gone astray!
When bottles are popping And dignity's dropping And the women are fair -- I've got to be there!
I've got to be there! I've got to be there!
When bottles are popping And dignity's dropping And the women are fair -- I've got to be there!
[Chorus] Check his hat, just his hat And throw the stub away! He's a lamb, just a little lamb Who's gone astray!
[Jimmy] When bottles are popping And dignity's dropping And the women are fair -- I've got to be there! I've got to be there! I've got to be there! I've got to be there!
