The Visit (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
I Walk Away (feat. Matthew Deming, Tom Nelis & Chris Newcomer)
And now that I'm among you
I notice that you're staring
Where did she get the jewels she's got
And all that fur she's wearing?
I've got a little secret
That I'm more than pleased to tell
I married very often
And I widowed very well
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Zachanassian adored me
Every touch gave him a thrill
If I said I hated winter
He would fly me to Brazil
When an epileptic seizure
Took him out at sixty-nine
He'd acquired lots of oil wells
Now all of them are mine!
So I wore my widow's weeds
And walked away
Though Zach was gone
I sauntered on
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Now the second man I married
Was a very small Chinese
Look at all our wedding pictures
He barely comes up to my knees
When the Asian flu dispatched him
Three little lawyers came to call
Mr. Chu owned chunks of Chile
Now yours truly's got them all
So I wore my widow's weeds
And walked away
What could I do?
Ciao, Mr. Chu
Number three to five were sickly
They were quickly laid to rest
Plague, cirrhosis and a plane crash
Which left me quite depressed
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Number six was born in Warsaw
He was high class Slavic folk
Though at first he was amusing
He became my Polish joke
When he died of liver failure
Someone read me Freddy's will
And it said, "To my dear Clara
I bequeath three hundred mill"
So I wore my widow's weeds
And walked away
That poor old Pole
God rest his soul
For money cannot heal
The sorrow that you feel
Any time you feel sorrow
No, no, no
Money can't erase
The terror that you face
When you're terrified to face tomorrow
Hear what I said
When love is dead
And it is pain
That fills the day
And life is gray
I walk away (doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I notice that you're staring
Where did she get the jewels she's got
And all that fur she's wearing?
I've got a little secret
That I'm more than pleased to tell
I married very often
And I widowed very well
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
