John Raitt - Hey There

Hey There
Written by: Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
Film: Pajama Game (1957)
Sung by: John Raitt as Sid Sorokin


Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise

Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think some day she'll come to you

Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care

Will you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other


[Sid and his inner voice, duet]

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
You talking to me?

Love never made a fool of you
Not until now

You used to be too wise
Yeah; I was once

Hey there
I hear ya

You on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
Don't rub it in

You think some day she'll come to you
Better forget her
Forget her

Her with her nose in the air
Her with her nose in the air

She has you dancing on a string
A puppet on a string

Break it and she won't care
She won't care for me

Will you take this advice I hand you like a brother?
Or am I not seeing things too clear?

Are you just too far gone to hear?
Is it all going in one ear and out the other?
