2023 Paper Mill Playhouse The Great Gatsby the Musical - One Way Road Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
MYRTLE: The trains aren’t running The cabs aren’t coming But I am going to the plaza hotel One mile down and seven to go, Seven to go He needs to know Though I’m not showing a baby’s growing And I am going to the plaza hotel One mile down and seven to go, Seven to go-
(spoken) Watch the road asshole!
(singing) Who are you calling crazy? I will take his little Daisy And I’ll stick it to her that he’s mine And this baby here is genuine Once he knows He’ll kick her out the door We’ll open up a bottle, Hell we’ll open two He’ll propose I’ll smile and say sure Then presto poof my dreams Have all come true
I will be a rich man’s wife With a rich man’s baby And be set for life A debutante A connoisseur Wait What if I turn into her?
When the new shiny thing Becomes the one who wears the ring I’m guessing I’ll have two good years Before another shiny thing appears!
One way road Is that what this is Have I traveled on And from a very early age One way road But when the choices are his Heading to dead ends in a cage Tom may not be loyal But with him I’m royalty Do I let him break my heart and nose To gain security? No dress, no ring, no party, No baby will ever set me free! The trains are running the cabs aren’t coming And I’m not going to the plaza hotel!
Turn around go back to George, Back to George Back to home He’ll love this baby as his own And soon we three will be a million miles away I know that George will love me come what may God it’s so simple that it’s funny! The only choice is love or money The one way road No matter What
