Song from the Broadway Musical (2016)
Bright Star the musical - A Man's Gotta Do Lyrics
Original song 'A Man's Gotta Do' performed by Michael Mulheren (Mayor Dobbs), Paul Alexander Nolan (Jimmy) from the Broadway musical BRIGHT STAR.
Mayor Josiah Hobbs:
A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do,
When a man's gotta do, what he's got to.
A well bred wife, with a silver spoon and knife,
Will butter your bread twice as good as you do.
I remember when I was your age,
That's when I was settling down.
Your mother and I were engaged,
And I opened up a bank account.
Jimmy Ray Dobbs:
You can't expect the future, to be just like the past.
You haven't got a clue sir, please try to understand.
Mayor:
When I stood tall, side by side with your Grandpa,
there was just nothing at all we couldn't do.
Jimmy:
With all due respect, I observe and I object.
There's no rush for me to step into your shoes.
Mayor:
You can't waste your time on foolish things,
When there's real work to be done.
There won't be any stopping you and me,
When you do what I tell you son.
[Spoken]
You have no idea what I'd do to protect this dynasty.
Jimmy:
The road beyond the river,
Leads right back to this house.
I won't be gone forever, just let me go now.
[Together]
Mayor:
A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do,
When a man's gotta do, what he's got to.
Jimmy:
You can't expect the future,
To be just like the past.
Mayor:
When I stood tall, side by side with your Grandpa,
there was just nothing at all we couldn't do.
Jimmy:
You haven't got a clue sir,
Please try to understand.
Mayor:
I can't understand,
Why you can't comprehend what to do.
[Spoken]
Why can't I get through to you?
