Funny Girl the Musical - Cornet Man Lyrics
The song is written by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill.
FANNY: (spoken)
Well
(sung)
The lady ain't been born
Can take the place of a horn
With a cornet man
A-goin' where there's blowin'
Travellin' cornet man
Just anytime they call him
He'll leave his wife and kiddies
Sitting with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in a dive
And blow his lungs out
He'll hop a choo-choo on a moment's notice
To play some dates with Billy Bates
And Rag-time Otis
The lady ain't seen light
Can give the horn a fair fight
With a cornet man
A rootin', shootin', ever-tootin' Dapper Dan
Who carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
A silver-platеd wah-wah mute
There's-a whiskеy, gamblin'
Each one's a curse
But I'm up against a devil that's worse
Yes, his horn's my thorn
He’s my travellin' cornet man
(spoken)
Pick it up, Ottessa!
I’m Fanny by the way, nice to meet ya
Boy, are you gorgeous!
I know this part!
My mama taught me this one
My daddy taught me this one
Back it up, boys
I’m takin’ us home!
(sung)
A powder-blue Norfolk suit
A silver-plated wah-wah mute
'Cause, he's shy on height
He's short on weight
But he's the only guy to make my coffee percolate
Dapper Dan
My cornet-playin' man
