On the Town: Act I: Carried Away

Modern man, what is it?
 Just a collection of
 complexes and neurotic impulses
 that occasionally break through
 You mean, sometimes you blow your top
 Like me!
 I do
 I try hard to stay controlled
 but I get carried away
 Try to act aloof and cold
 But I get carried away
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 I get carried away!
 When I sit and listen to a symphony,
 why can't I just say the music's grand?
 Why must I leap up on the stage hysterically
 They're playing it staccato
 and everything goes blottal
 I grabbed the maestro stick and started leading the band!
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 I get carried away!
 And when I go to see a moving picture show
 and I'm watching actors in a scene
 I stop to think what's happening is really so
 the girl I must protect her,
 the villain don't respect her,
 I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen-
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 He gets carried misparade- away!
 I try hard to keep detached
 but I get carried away
 Try to act less booby-hatched
 But I get carried away
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 He gets carried, he's carried away
 When shopping, I'm a sucker for a bargain sale
 if something is marked down upon a shelf
 my sense for something that is practical begins to fail
 I buy one, then another, then another, then another
 I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 He gets carried, he's carried away
 And when I go to see my friends off on a train
 Golly, how I hate to see them go!
 And then my love of travelling I can't restrain
 The time has come for parting
 The train's already starting
 I hop afreight and in a flash now I'm off to Timbuktu!
 Carried away!
 Carried away!
 We get carried, miscarried, aaAAAAAH
