Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends - The Boy From... Lyrics


(from The Mad Show)

JANIE DEE:
Tall and slender, like an Apollo
He goes walking by and I have to follow
Him, the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe
Del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas
La Junta del Sol y Cruz
When we meet, I feel I'm on fire
And I'm breathless every time I inquire
"How are things in Tacarembo la Tumbe
Del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas
La Junta del Sol y Cruz?"

Why, when I speak, does he vanish? (Ah)
Why is he acting so clannish? (Ah)
I wish I understood Spanish
When I tell him I think he's the end
He giggles a lot with his friеnd

Tall and slender, moves likе a dancer
But I never seem to get any answer
From the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe
Del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas
La Junta del Sol y Cruz
I got the blueth

Why are his trousers vermillion?
(His trousers are vermillion)
Why does he claim he's Castilian?
(He thays that he ith Cathtilian)
Why do his friends call him "Lillian"?
And I hear, at the end of the week
He's leaving to start a boutique

Though I smile, I'm only pretending
'Cause I know today's the last I'll be spending
With the boy from Tacarembo la Tumbe
Del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas
La Junta del Sol y Cruz

Tomorrow he sails
He's leaving for Wales
To live in
Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­
Drobwll­llan­dysilio­gogo­goch
Och!
