Strange But True

Hanratty:

Stop your sobbing kid before I shoot

Your nose is running on my only suit

Who'd have thought I share this dance with you

Looks like we're stuck together which is strange but true

Frank, jr.:

Yes you've caught me. Now the chase is done.

You must admit I gave you quite the run

Mr. Tortoise, here's your rabbit stew.

Looks like we're stuck together which is strange but true

Hanratty:

Tell mr. Ripley at believe it or not

Both:

The show is over and he's all that I got

Hanratty:

Hard to believe it, but we're tyin' the knot today

Frank, jr.:

That's ok.

Hanratty:

Frank!

Thank your public while you're still in your prime

They won't be seeing you for quite a long time

And after you pay for your life of crime

Well kid, we'll see what good behavior can do

Both:

Til then, we're stuck together which is strange but true

Frank, jr. (spoken):

Mr. Hanratty turns out to be as good as his word.

Hanratty (spoken):

Frank was sentenced to 15 years years in prison but was released after 7 for good behavior.

Frank, jr. (spoken):

Carl and I became great friends and he even became the godfather to my kids.

I set up my own security company and paid back every bad check I ever passed.

Hanratty (spoken):

Alright, frank, keep your promise. How did you cheat the bar exam?

Frank, jr. (spoken):

I didn't cheat. I studied.

Hanratty (spoken):

You're kidding me! H hate this guy! how does he do it?

All:

Hey, mr. Tawyer, mr. two on the aisle

You never can predict when fortune may smile

Hanratty:

In fact, I think I'm gonna break with tradition

And tell j. Edgar hoover, baby, I've gone fishin'!

Frank, jr. (spoken):

You're gonna take a day off.

Hanratty (spoken):

You heard me!

Frank, jr.:

I you had read this, you'd have said, "no way."

I almost made it look like crime does pay

There's lots of folks that I miss every day

Both:

But now a new duet has made its debut

And now we're stuck together

All:

Oh yea!

Both:

Out of luck together

All:

Oh yea!

Both:

And now we're stuck together which is strange

But

True

Frank, jr.:

Your junior partner came through

Hanratty:

A simple case of monkey see, monkey do.

Frank, jr. (spoken):

Aw, come on. Hey, listen.

(Sung)

I'm glad to be on your team.

Hanratty:

Frank, let's make some butter out of cream.

Frank, jr. (spoken):

That's really nice.

Hanratty (spoken):

Alright kid. Let's get outta here.
