The Great Gatsby the Musical - Shady Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
WOLFSHEIM:
Careful of the people
You decide to go deep with
There are those you get in bed with
And those that you sleep with
I'm okay with keeping secrets
I'm okay with being naughty
I approve of indiscretions
If you know how to hide a body
So go on
Be a bon vivant
Be as shady as you want
Life in the shadows can be fun
So long as the work gets done
Hey, here's a little tip, son
A little suggestion
If you don't wanna know the answer
Don't go asking the question
Save your own skin before you're in too deep
The less you know, the better you'll sleep
You can strike it rich and get off cheap
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
It's fine, it's no big deal
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
The world keeps turnin' if you grease the wheel
Promise you can have it all
Hangin' where the shadows fall
Keep your head down, son, keep stayin' in line
And everything's fine
We all need a distraction
We all need a hobby
We also need another exit
That doesn't go through the lobby
We enjoy a favorite cut of meat
But it's rarely ever all we eat
What comes on the side makes the meal complete
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
WOLFSHEIM:
It's fine, it's no big deal
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
WOLFSHEIM:
The world keeps turning if you grease the wheel
Promise you you've got it made (Ah)
Life is better in the shade (Ah, ah)
Keep your head down, son, keep stayin' in line (Ah-ah)
And everything's fine
Always have an alibi (Ah-ah-ah)
And never leave a trail
You can always find a guy (Ah-ah-ah)
To catch a tiger's tail (Ah)
Pick a game, pick the players
ENSEMBLE:
Watch from the stands
WOLFSHEIM:
And watch from the stands
Unless you're absolutely forced
To take matters into your own hands
ENSEMBLE:
Woah-oh-oh-oh
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
So you wanna be a little bit
WOLFSHEIM:
Shady
ENSEMBLE:
Shady
WOLFSHEIM:
Salut, and c'est la vie
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
So you wanna be a little bit
WOLFSHEIM:
Shady
ENSEMBLE:
Shady
WOLFSHEIM:
But don't you go and throw your shade on me
I won't fly in the
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
Bed I made
WOLFSHEIM:
And watch my best plans
WOLFSHEIM & ENSEMBLE:
Not get laid
WOLFSHEIM:
Time to go tell Romeo to toe the line
(Ah-ah-ah)
Then everything's
ENSEMBLE:
Fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
WOLFSHEIM:
F-i-i-ine
ENSEMBLE:
Oh
