You’re Not Foolin’ Me

Lyrics

[LIZZIE, spoken] Con man! Fake! [STARBUCK] Lizzie, stop fiddlin' with your buttons Fiddlin' with your buttons, Lizzie [STARBUCK, spoken] Nice white dress all buttoned up tight [STARBUCK] Lizzie, stop fiddlin' with your buttons Better check again for certain [STARBUCK, spoken] Don't wanna miss a button, Lizzie What are you afraid of? [LIZZIE, spoken] Leave me alone! [STARBUCK, spoken] What are you afraid of? [LIZZIE, spoken] Let go of my arm! [STARBUCK] You try to be so high and mighty You act like you're cool as can be You may fool your brothers And all of those others But, sister, you're not foolin' me [LIZZIE] You ride in your bright painted wagon You think that you're something to see You may fool the locals With such hocus-pocus But, mister, you're not fooling me [STARBUCK, spoken] Wait a minute The minute I came hеre, you didn't like me Why not? [LIZZIE, spoken] Bеcause you're a liar and a fake [STARBUCK, spoken] How do you know I'm a liar? How do you know I'm a fake? Maybe I can bring rain Maybe that's my one and only blessing [LIZZIE, spoken] There's no such blessing in the world! [STARBUCK, spoken] I've seen even better blessings, Lizzie girl I got a brother who's a doctor You don't have to tell him where you ache or where you pain He just comes in and he lays his hand on your heart And pretty soon you're breathin' sweet again And I got another brother who can sing And when he's singin', the song is there and it never leaves you And I used to think, why ain't I blessed like Fred or Arny? Why am I just a nothin' man, with nothin' special to my name? And then one summer comes the drought And Fred can't heal it away and Arny can't sing it away But me I go down to the hollow and I look up and I say "Rain! Dammit! Please—" [STARBUCK] Let the rain come Let the rain come Let the rain come! [STARBUCK, spoken] And the rain came And I knew, I knew I was one of the family! That's a story You don't have to believe it if you don't want to [LIZZIE, spoken] I don't believe it [LIZZIE & STARBUCK] You ride in your bright painted wagon (You try to be so high and mighty) You think that you're something to see (You act like you're cool as can be) You may fool the locals With such hocus-pocus (You may fool your brothers) But, mister, you're not foolin' me (And all of those others) Not me (But, sister, you're not foolin' me) [LIZZIE & STARBUCK] Not me! [STARBUCK, spoken] Lizzie, I'm sad about you You don't believe in anything, not even yourself You don't even believe you're a woman And if you don't, you're not! [LIZZIE] It's not true It's not true It's not true!
