Convicts
Gotta sing, sing!
Gotta sing, sing!
Alright, you animals, from the top!
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
Can't keep our hearts in jail Prisoners of love Our turtle doves Soon coming 'round with bail Oh, you can lock us up and lose the key But hearts in love are always free Prisoners of love Blue skies above 'Cause we're still prisoners We're still prisoners We're still prisoners of love |
Tempo, fellas! Pick up the tempo! That's it! OK, Just the murderers! Hey, you, the warden wants to get in on this thing. Tell the warden he now owns 100% of "Prisoners of Love." / Thank you. Sing on, fellas! Let 'em hear you in solitary! Take it home, boys. We open in Leavenworth on Saturday night! |
Hey, Bialystock, Bloom, Liebkind, good news! This just came from the governor:
"Gentlemen, you are hereby granted a full pardon for having - through song and dance - brought joy and laughter into the hearts of
every murderer, rapist and sex maniac in Sing Sing." You're free!
Free!
Next stop, "Prisoners of Love" on Broadway!
Convicts
But hearts in love are always free!
Ulla
Got to sing sing! Sing sing!
Ulla and female prisoners
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
Can't keep our hearts in jail!
Roger
Can't keep our hearts in jail!
Ulla and female prisoners
Prisoners of love
Our turtle doves
Roger
Soon coming 'round with bail
Ulla and female prisoners
Tote that bale!
Male prisoners
You can lock us up and lose the key
All
But hearts in love are always free!
Prisoners of love
Blue skies above
'Cause we're still prisoners
We're still prisoners
We're still prisoners of love!
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love!
