Off-Broadway musical (2016) Cagney the Musical - How Will I Be Remembered?/Some Other Guy (reprise) Lyrics
(Music & Lyrics by Robert Creighton)
Cagney: I need somehow to change it To let them see my heart I thought yankee doodle dandy Would have been that part
I long to bring some light To make art that feeds the soul What can I do differently Is there more i can control?
Ma said to be true To always look ‘em in the eye Have I lost track if I go back Am I just getting by
How will I be remembered When they’ve run my final reel Will it only be a line I never said Just you dirty rat, that thug in the hat A gangster, a villain, a bum How will I be remembered When they’ve run my final reel
Cagney: Willie: Part after part Days’ll whisk by They all play the same That’ll be all I have No point ‘less you try Made of our name I’ll be long gone I made ya strong But the characters live What a damn shame Don’t do yourself wrong If that's all i can give
So if I’m remembered When they’ve run my final reel Will it only be a line I never said Just you dirty rat, that thug in the hat Oh.... Oh jimmy... A gangster, a villain, a bum No, not you. Is how i’ll be remembered When they’ve run my final reel
Willie (spoken): You have done so much. You have so much to be proud of. Cagney (spoken): The thing I'm most proud of is being married to you.
