Not for the Life of Me (Reprise)

Millie: They said I would sing the homesick blues
Granny dear,
Mother mine,
Old and grey at 29
Calloused hands, broken heart,
Dreams that die before you start
(spoken) I ain't got nothin'
So I ain't got nothin' to lose!
Who needs a hat! Who needs a purse!
Who needs you, Mister whoever-you-are,
Cos I'm a pioneer woman, pal!
The Woolworth Building, the Met Life Tower,
There's gold in them there hills and I'm gonna get it or die trying!
(sung) Days of yore, kind and gentle
Ask me if I'm sentimental:
Not for the life of me!
Do-ow-di-dow!
Not for the life of
Not for the life of
Not for the life
Of
Me!
Girls: Burn the bridge, bet the store
Baby's comin' home no more,
Not for the life of me!
A life that's gotta be more than a one night town
Where the light is always red!
Gotta be more than an old ghost town,
Where the ghost ain't even dead!
Clap your hands, just because
Where I am ain't where I was:
Not for the life of me!
Not for the life of
Not for the life of me!
