Description: http://www.truecolorstour.com/main.html Cyndi Lauper and Alan Cumming's performance of The Ballad of the Pimp at the Tony Awards 2006 Cast Recording Petition http://www.petitiononline.com/3penny06/petition.html Lyrics Guy: So long ago her soul and mine entwined We shared out things together happily I used my mind and I protected her She used her body and supported me To be poor is an illness And this was the cure So when a customer apeired I'd leave out bed I'd go outside and I'd prepair some cheese and bread So when he paid and could have a snack And I'd say if ya like her please come back And then you'd wash beneth the golden dome Of that cold brothel that you and I called home Girl: For half a year, his soul and mine entwined He touched me sweetly with a lovers touch And when the cash was gone he said, "We'll sell your ring, We have to eat my love, so please don't cry too much. The ring, who needs it? We wanted to survive" And I remember once I said that that's not fair, He knocked me down and slapped my face and pulled my hair, And later on one time he hit me with a stick And I laid down because I felt quite sick Both: So life was sweet beneth that golden dome In that cold brothel were we made out home. And in those days, so very long ago.. Guy: Things weren't as sad and grim as they are now. Girl: Its true we made love only in the day, Guy: By night the farmers girl had to pull the plow It wasn't normal, but we could still play, Girl: Then I got Pregnant and by you, you will agree. Guy: So when we F*** shed always sit on top of me Girl: Be cause he didn't want to hurt our little child Guy: And then it died one night in may and she went wild Both: We said goodbye, in June beneth the dome, Of that cold brothel which we called our home. (Music out) (Thanks go to MayaIronic for the lyrics)

ordinarysunday ::: Favorites This version is definitely my favorite, although I also like the original translation. It bums me a little that no one was really cheering for Cyndi. She was a fantastic Jenny. (Not saying I don't like Alan's portrayal of Macheath -- I do, as his is my favorite interpretation). 07-08-03 23:43:24 _____________________________________________________
