YOU CAN COUNT ON ME (ON THE TOWN)
(Leonard Bernstein)
Frank Sinatra & Chums (On the Town)


CHIP
Oh If you feel downhearted
You must remeber this
Things never are as bad as they could be
When friends have all departed
there's one you'll never miss
I'll be right with you 
you can count on me

ALL
you can count on me
you can count on me

CHIP
As the adding machine once said
 you can count on me

HILDY
If you committed murder
And got caught like a dope
And had to hang until your life was done
I'd holler go no furder
Boy's fetch another rope
I'm hanging with you 
I'll stick to you son

ALL
I'll stick to you son
(I'll always's be beside you)
I'll stick to you son
(We'll go through life together)

HIDLY
As the fly paper told the fly
I'll stick to you son

CLAIRE
Oh if you miss your mother 
on land or see of foam 
Oh think of how toy once clung to her knee
Although there is no other 
on land or sea or foam
When you in town kid 
you can cling to me

ALL
You can cling to me
You can cling to me

CLAIRE
As the cling film told the pie
You can cling to me

OZZIE
When through a lot of foolery
You lost your last red cent
I wouldn't even stop to ask you why
(Ask him why)
I'd pawn my mothers jewellery
I'd steal my sister rent
It's all for you kid 
You can milk me dry

ALL
You can milk me dry
You can milk me dry

OZZIE 
as the cow to the farmer said 
you can milk me dry

LUCY
If Upon this Island
we two were cast astray
We bothe would be in paradise indeed
If rescue cam you only shout at them
"GO AWAY!"
Because you find that I am all you need

ALL 
I am all you need
I am all you need

LUCY 
as the dough told the pastry pin
I am all you kneed    

ALL
you can count on me
you can count on me
As the adding machine once said
you can count on me

LUCY
2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate?

ALL
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!
