Carmen Jones

Send along another load

And win that war Win that war

One more to go And then one more

- One more - One more to go

Send them along And win that war

Send them along

- Hey, you. - Me?

- Your I.D. - My which?

Oh, I ain't here to work.

- No? What for, then? - I'm looking for a corporal named...

You can't see a general without proper identification.

You've got to have a pass.

- Where do I get one? - From the security officer.

- Where's he? - Securing himself in Washington.

Your corporal's liable to be a brigadier time he gets back here.

Lift them up And put 'em down

Mark time And lift your tootsies

Six inches off the ground

Lift them up And put 'em down

Marching all around the town

Company, squad right

That means turn around

Wish that I was 21

Old enough to tote a gun

I'd go and be a soldier

They're the ones that have the fun

Wish I was a bugler man

Playin' in the army band

I'd blow until I must be playin' in the army

Glad you could find time to join us.

Hope we didn't inconvenience you, Corporal.

Joe! Joe!

Wipe that smile off your face.

Fall in!

Old guard, present arms!

Old guard, order arms!

Old guard, fall out!

Cindy Lou!

Surprised to see me?

You can say that again.

Joe. I know I ain't smart like you,

but if the way I feel makes up for it, then I is way ahead.

- How you been, honey? - Missin' you. My ma said...

- She all right? - Uh-huh.

When I got your letter, she say, "Cindy Lou, you go see Joe off."

Would've come anyway.

Hey. Hey! Goin' to flyin' school's nothing to cry about.

Either got to cry or bust.

I'm so proud of you.

- Come on this side and tell me that. - Can't.

- Why not? - Got no pass.

Just you watch.

Don't get into trouble on account of me.

I never saw trouble look better.

Hey, Corporal, pass that civilian.

- You're the Joe she's looking for? - Nobody else.

- Why didn't you say you're his gal? - All the way.

Then you're responsible all the way.

Hey, Dave, put away my gear for me, will ya?

Thanks.

Congratulations, Corporal.

That Air Corps sure was smart in pickin' you

for officers' flying school.

- Hi, Carmen. - Hi.

Get a load of this hip-swingin' floozie

rollin' around to work in time for lunch.

Prune-puss, you make sounds I don't like.

I'm tellin' the foreman you is late again.

Do that, and I'll scratch out the one good eye you got.

Carmen, go to Pastor's with me tonight. I can dance those other guys off the floor.

T-Bone, you're too little and too late.

I don't waste no time. Dig me, baby?

You're wasting time right now, Sergeant.

Wind's blowin' me in another direction. Ain't no use arguin' with the wind.

Go with me instead of playin' the field.

Pick out one. That'll release the rest of them.

I won't pick out a man

And he won't pick out me

It don't go that way

You can't ever know

Where your crazy heart

Wants to go

Love's a baby that grows up wild

And he don't do what you want him to

Love ain't nobody's angel child

And he won't pay any mind to you

One man gives me his diamond stud

And I won't give him a cigarette

One man treats me like I was mud

And all I got that man can get

Love's a baby that grows up wild

That's love

And he don't do what you want him to

That's love

Love ain't nobody's angel child

That's love

And he won't pay any mind to you

That's love

You go for me And I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get I go for you

And if I do Then you are through, boy

My baby, that's the end of you

The end of you

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

She told you true

I told you truly

If I love you

That's the end of you

You go for me And I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get I go for you

And if I do Then you are through, boy

My baby, that's the end of you

The end of you

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

She told you true

I told you truly

If I love you

That's the end of you

Of you

Give me a chicken sandwich.

When your lovebird decides to fly

There ain't no door that you can close

She just pecks ya a quick goodbye

And flicks the salt from her tail and goes

If you listen, then you'll get taught

And here's your lesson for today

If I chase ya Then you'll get caught

And once I got you, I go my way

- When your lovebird decides to fly - That's love

- There ain't no door that you can close - That's love

- She just pecks you a quick goodbye - That's love

- And flicks the salt from her tail and goes - That's love

You go for me And I'm taboo

But if you're hard to get I go for you

And if I do Then you are through, boy

My baby, that's the end of you

The end of you

So take your cue, boy

Don't say I didn't tell you true

She told you true

I told you truly

If I love you

That's the end of you

I hear you're gonna be a flyboy. Congratulations.

Thanks.

I hope if you gotta use a parachute, it's one I made.

I'd like to toss a party for you tonight at Billy Pastor's.

Give you a real send-off.

Pick me up at 8:00. We'll have ourselves a ball.

Sorry. I got a date.

Honeybee, if you change your mind, you know where to buzz me.

That girl's mighty pretty.

Oh, I don't know.

She's what the fellas back home call a hot bundle, I guess.

Yeah.

Looks like she's on fire just for you.

I never lit it, honey.

How do I know?

'Cause I got a girl.

But I live in another town.

I know what the fellas say.

If you got a gal in another town, you ain't got no gal at all.

But you're not just any girl, Cindy Lou.

There's nobody in the whole world like you.

Nobody, except...

Except who?

My ma.

You talk just like my ma

You even walk just like my ma

And I know why I'm stuck on you

It's 'cause I'm just like my pa

I talk just like your ma

I even walk just like your ma

And I can see why you like me

'Cause you is like your pa

You's awful like your Pa

Let me tell you what the Lord did

He made me live next door So we could fall in love

The way my pa and ma

Did

Is you my Cindy Lou?

I is your Cindy Lou

And I belong to you

- You is my Joe - I is your Joe

- I'm Cindy Lou - My Cindy Lou

And I belong

To

You

Cindy, suppose I was to ask my C.O...

Ask him what, Joe?

To write okay in triplicate.

And what if I found the chaplain and said, "Sir, orders for a rush wedding"?

There's no use waiting till the war's over to get married.

I got a 24-hour pass.

We can have our honeymoon tonight.

But what'll our folks say, us not getting married in church?

What do you say?

You wait right here while I go find the C.O.
