作曲 : Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman
So Frankie made a little mistake? Tant pis.
Tell me how much he owes, I'll write you a check—
So far it's 1.4 million dollars.
It sounds like Frankie's good at this.
If you wanted to raise a crook, you should be very proud.
I always knew I'd see this day
I can't say It's a shock
what's that expression?
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
He's "a chip off the old block"
But if you see him please pass on this plea
Don't be a stranger
Tell him that for me
My Frankie had a clever mind
He could spend hours all alone
I wouldn't have been surprised to find he changed his diaper on his own
Could I have been there more?
Well, c'est la vie
Don't be a stranger
Tell him that for me
Though I tried, I couldn't hide
When love had flown away
Children close their eyes but still they see
I took a chance, a new romance
Is it a crime to say
I made a choice and chose what's best for me
His Father had a head for dreams
But not the Midas touch
His father had a million schemes
but dollars? Not so much
You want the apple?
Go look for the tree
But don't be a stranger
Tell him that for me
I used to have what made her smile
Now, it's all been spent
I've tons of charm, I'm lousy with style
But it don't pay the rent
If you spot her out there on a spree
Tell her don't be a stranger
Tell her that for me
I used to be a prince to her
This prince has lost his crown
I brought her laughs, she wanted fur
No wonder love fell down
Arrest the clown who said the best things in life are free
Then don't be a stranger
Tell her that for me
One more round at the lost and found
That's if you've got the dough
Happy hour is suddenly last call
My eyes are dry
I said goodbye so many tears ago
The past is just a photo on the wall
I guess to you I seem a schmuck
Well, I'll just bide my time
in love, all's fair
'Cause i believe that lady luck can still turn on a dime
Comme a la guerre
And maybe one will once again be three
C'est c'que j'ai toujours dit
Don't be a stranger
Tell them that for me
Don't be a stranger
Tell him that for me
(no) don't be a stranger
Tell him (them) that for me.
