Musical by Ellen Schwartz and Laura I. Kramer A Letter to Harvey Milk the Musical - I'm Gonna Do For You Lyrics
HARVEY: (spoken) Maybe not. But I know what I feel. And I feel that nothing just happens. You have to make it happen.
(sung) We won’t stand by And watch our freedom die Let’s turn our tears into a battle cry I’m seeking public Office and i won’t be undone By death threats from some maniacs Hell no! I’ll still run! ‘cause if enough of us hold hands No one can hold a gun
HARRY (spoken): That’s your speech? That’s fun? You expect to get elected talking like that?
HARVEY (spoken): Too serious, huh?
HARRY (spoken): Look, if you wanna tell people the truth, you better make ‘em laugh. Otherwise...
NO ONE’LL VOTE FOR YOU...
HARVEY: NO ONE’LL VOTE FOR ME...
(spoken) How about...
I’m harvey milk and I wanna recruit you I’m gonna do for you
HARRY (spoken): Sounds familiar, but go on...
HARVEY: Kikes, dykes and queers, don’t closet your fears It’s time to stop mopin’, kick all the doors open My lips are red
HARRY (spoken) Red!
HARVEY My skin is white
HARRY (spoken) White!
Your nose is mostly jew
BOTH (spoken) Red! White! Jew!!
HARVEY I’ve got a yen If not now, when? It’s time to kick an ass or two
My name is milk, I’m the dairy queen mary I’m gonna do for you
HARRY (spoken) You’re gonna do for me?
HARVEY If you believe, clap hands for this fairy The one who’s in leathers or else, peacock feathers I stay up late to turn around fate You hippies from the haight should, too
HARRY (spoken) Three, four, five!
HARVEY I’ve got a yen If not now, when? We gotta keep our dream alive!
Stand proud and strong Come on and march along Raise the rainbow banner we have spun Lift up your voices in defiance against all anita Bryants We’ll take on every bigot one by one
HARRY (spoken) What fun!
HARVEY Roll up your sleeves, dig in your hands, Our work has just begun Take it from me, kids, this is the emmes I’m gonna do for you
HARRY Let him come through for you
HARVEY Harry the butcher provided the premise He said, “who will do it if you don’t get to it?” I’m proud and loud and gay, not ev’rybody’s favorite Son Call me sissy, that’s ok I always call attila, “Hon”
HARRY Oy...
HARVEY We’ll take the future in our hands Our freedom will be won!
Come out, come out, whoever you are Sign up for the fairy who fell from a star
