I Walk Away

Lyrics

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)
