Текст песни The Schmuel Song - Jeremy Jordan
Schmuel
would
work
'til
half-past
ten
at
his
tailor
shop
in
Klimovich
Get
up
at
dawn
and
start
again
with
the
hems
and
pins
and
twist
41
years
had
come
and
gone
at
his
tailor
shop
in
Klimovich
Watching
the
winter's
soldier
on,
there
was
one
thing
Schmuel
missed
"If
I
only
had
time"
old
Schmuel
said
"I
would
build
the
dress
that's
in
my
head"
"A
dress
to
fire
the
mad
desire
of
girls
from
here
to
Minsk"
"But
I
have
no
more
hours
left
to
sew"
Then
the
clock
upon
the
wall
began
to
glow
And
the
clock
said
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"Oh,
Schmuel,
you'll
get
to
be
happy!"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"I
give
you
unlimited
time!"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"So
Schmuel,
go
sew
and
be
happy!"
But
Schmuel
said,
"No,
no,
it's
not
my
lot"
"I've
gotta
make
do
with
the
time
I've
got"
Schmuel
was
done
at
half-past
ten,
and
he
said,
"Good
night,
old
Klimovich"
Put
on
his
coat
to
go,
but
then
the
clock
cried,
"Wait!
Not
yet!"
"Even
though
you're
not
wise
or
rich,
you're
the
finest
man
in
Klimovich"
"Listen
up,
Schmuel,
make
one
stitch,
and
you'll
see
what
you
get"
But
Schmuel
said,
"Clock,
it's
much
too
late"
"I'm
at
peace
with
life,
I
accept
my
fate"
But
the
clock
said,
"Schmuel!
One
stitch,
and
you
will
unlock
the
dreams
you've
lost!"
So
Schmuel,
with
reluctance,
took
his
thread
He
pulled
a
bolt
of
velvet
and
he
said
"I
should
take
out
my
teeth
and
go
to
bed"
"I'm
sitting
her
with
talking
clocks
instead!"
And
the
clock
said
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"Oh,
Schmuel,
you'll
get
to
be
happy!"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"I
give
you
unlimited
time"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"Just
do
it
and
you
can
be
happy!"
So
Schmuel
put
the
thread
through
the
needle's
eye
And
the
moon
stared
down
from
a
starless
sky
And
he
pushed
the
thread
through
the
velvet
black
And
he
looked,
and
the
clock
was
turning,
back
So
he
grabbed
his
shears
and
he
cut
some
lace
As
the
hands
moved
left
on
the
old
clock's
face
And
his
fingers
flew
and
the
fabric
swirled
It
was
nine-fifteen
all
around
the
world
Every
cut
and
stitch
was
a
perfect
fit
As
if
God
Himself
were
controlling
it!
And
Schmuel
cried
through
a
rush
of
tears
"Take
me
back!
Take
me
back
all
41
years!"
And
on
it
went
down
that
silent
street
'Til
Schmuel's
dress
was
at
last
complete
And
he
stretched
his
arms
And
he
closed
his
eyes
And
the
morning
sun
finally
started
to
rise
And
the
dress
he
made
on
that
endless
night
Was
a
dress
that
would
make
any
soul
take
flight
Not
a
swatch,
not
a
skein
had
gone
to
waste
Every
ribbon
and
button
ideally
placed
And
swen
into
the
seams
were
41
seasons
of
dreams
Dreams
that
you
could
feel
Coming
real
And
that
very
dress,
so
the
papers
swore
Was
the
dress
a
girl
in
Odessa
wore
On
the
day
she
promised
forevermore
To
love
a
young
man
named
Schmuel
Who
only
one
day
before
Had
knocked
at
her
kitchen
door
Plenty
have
hoped
and
dreamed
and
prayed
But
they
can't
get
out
of
Klimovich
If
Schmuel
had
been
a
cute
goyishe
maid
He'd've
looked
a
lot
like
you
Maybe
it's
just
that
you're
afraid
to
go
out
on
to
a
limb-ovich
Maybe
your
heart's
completely
swayed
But
your
head
can't
follow
through
But
shouldn't
I
want
the
world
to
see
The
brilliant
girl
who
inspires
me?
Don't
you
think
that
now's
a
good
time
to
be
The
ambitious
freak
you
are?
Say
goodbye
to
wiping
ashtrays
at
the
bar
Say
hello
to
Cathy
Hiatt,
big-time
star!
'Cause
I
say
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"Cathy,
you
get
to
be
happy!"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"I
give
you
unlimited
time!"
"Na
na-na-na,
na-na-na"
"Stop
temping
and
go
and
be
happy!"
Here's
a
headshot
guy
and
a
new
backstage
Where
you're
right
for
something
on
every
page
Take
a
breath
Take
a
step
Take
a
chance
Take
your
time
Have
I
mentioned
today
How
lucky
I
am
To
be
in
love
with
you?!
