Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

Lyrics

[GIRLS] Is there a man out there? Someone to hear my prayer Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day [SOPHIE] Sorry to drag you away [SAM] Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet wee island [SOPHIE] Regretting you stayed away so long? [SAM] No, I'm regretting I never knew what was here [SOPHIE] What? [SAM] This place - the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it some day, but - she beat me to it [SOPHIE] Do you prefer buildings to people? [SAM] What?! [SOPHIE] Tell me something about my mum [SAM] Your mum was irresistible, a one-off We talked and we fought - you know it was me that brought her to this island? [SOPHIE] That wasn't the only thing you did, was it? [SAM] Oh right, what has she told you? [SOPHIE] Nothing. She's never mentioned you [SAM] But you said "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days" What's going on? Sophie, why am I here? [GIRLS] Is there a man out there Someone to hear my prayer Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day [HARRY] Fancy Donna with a grown-up daughter! [SOPHIE] Have you got any children, Harry? [HARRY] No. I haven't put myself in the path of paternity [SOPHIE] It's never too late [HARRY] I don't think my other half would agree [SOPHIE] Oh - you don't want children? [HARRY] No, no, it's not like that. It's just that: well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd have spoiled her to bits [SOPHIE] Lucky thing [HARRY] Is your Dad here? [SOPHIE] I don't know [HARRY] What? [SOPHIE] I don't know who my Dad is [GIRLS] Is there a man out there? Someone to hear my prayer [BILL] Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it goes with the territory [SOPHIE] Go on [BILL] How did your mother get this place? When I knew her she was singing in a night-club on the mainland [SOPHIE] She was left some money, in a will We lived with an old lady when I was little Her name was Sophia? [BILL] What, my Great-Aunt Sophia? [SOPHIE] I think it must be [BILL] But I always heard her money went to family Wait a minute - how old are you? [SOPHIE] Twenty [GIRLS] Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
