[Overture to Bizet's Carmen]
[Male Chorus]
Send along another load
And win that war,
win that war
One more to go
and then one more
One more to go
and then one more
- One more
- One more to go
Send them along
and win that war
Send them along
Send them along
Send them along
Send them along
- Hey, you.
- Me?
- Your I.D.
- My which?
Oh, I ain't here
to work.
- No? What for, then?
- I'm lookin' for a corporal na--
You can't see a genera/
without proper identification.
You've got to
have a pass.
- Where do I get one?
- From the security officer.
- Where's he?
- Securing himself in Washington.
Your corporal's liable to be
a brigadier time he gets back here.
[Bugle Call]
Lift them up
and put 'em down
Lift them up
and put 'em down
Mark time
and lift your tootsies
inches off the ground
Lift them up
and put 'em down
Marching all around
the town
Company, squad right
That means turn around
Wish that I was
Old enough
to tote a gun
I'd go and be
a soldier
They're the ones
that have the fun
Wish I was
a bugler man
Playin' in
the army band
I'd blow until I must
be playin' in the army...
Glad you could find
time to join us.
Hope we didn't
inconvenience you, Corporal.
Joe!Joe!
Wipe that smile
off your face.
Fall in!
Old guard,
present...arms!
Old guard,
order...arms!
Old guard,
fall out!
Cindy Lou!
Surprised to see me?
You can say that again.
Oh,Joe. I know
I ain't smart like you,
but if the way I feel
makes up for it,
then I is way ahead.
- How you been, honey?
- Missin' you. My ma said--
- She all right?
- Uh-huh.
When I got your letter,
she say, ""Cindy Lou,
you go seeJoe off.""
Would've come anyway.
Hey. Hey! Goin' to flyin' school's
nothing to cry about.
Either got to cry or bust.
I'm so proud of you.
- Come on this side and tell me that.
- Can't.
- Why not?
- Got no pass.
Just you watch.
Don't get into trouble
on account of me.
I never saw trouble
look better.
Hey, Corporal,
pass that civilian.
You're theJoe
she's looking for?
Nobody else.
- Why didn't you say you're his gal?
- All the way.
- [Factory Whistle Blows]
- Then you're responsible, all the way.
Hey, Dave, put away
my gear for me, will ya?
Thanks.
Congratulations,
Corporal.
That Air Corps
sure was smart in pickin' you
for officers'
flying school.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi.
Get a load of this
hip-swingin' floozie
rollin' around to work
in time for lunch.
Prune-puss,
you make sounds I don't like.
I'm tellin' the foreman
you is late again.
Do that, and I'll scratch out
the one good eye you got.
Carmen, go to Pastor's
with me tonight.
I can dance those
other guys off the floor.
T-Bone, you're too little
and too late.
I don't waste no time.
Dig me, baby?
You're wasting time
right now, Sergeant.
Wind's blowin' me
in another direction.
Ain't no use
arguin' with the wind.
Go with me instead
of playin' the field.
Pick out one. That'll release
the rest of them.
I won't pick out a man
And he won't pick out me
It don't go that way
You can't ever know
Where your crazy heart
Wants to go
Love's a baby
that grows up wild
And he don't do
what you want him to
Love ain't nobody's
angel child
And he won't pay
any mind to you
One man gives me
his diamond stud
And I won't give him
a cigarette
One man treats me
like I was mud
And all I got
that man can get
[Female chorus]
Love's a baby that grows up wild
Dat's love
And he don't do
what you want him to
Dat's love
Love ain't nobody's
angel child
Dat's love
And he won't pay
any mind to you
Dat's love
You go for me
And I'm taboo
But if you're
hard to get
I go for you
And if I do
Den you are through
Boy
My baby, that's
the end of you
The end of you
So take your cue
Boy
Don't say I didn't
tell you true
She told you true
I told you truly
If I love you
Dat's de end of you
You go for me
And I'm taboo
But if you're
hard to get
I go for you
And if I do
Den you are
through, boy
My baby, that's
the end of you
The end of you
So take your cue
Boy
Don't say I didn't
tell you true
She told you true
I told you truly
If I love you
Dat's de end
Of you
Gimme a chicken
sandwich.
When your lovebird
decides to fly
Dere ain't no door
dat you can close
She just pecks ya
a quick good-bye
And flicks the salt
from her tail and goes
If you listen,
den you'll get taught
And here's your lesson
for today
If I chase ya,
den you'll get caught
And once I got you,
I go my way
When your lovebird
decides to fly
Dat's love
Dere ain't no door
that you can close
Dat's love
She just pecks you
a quick good-bye
Dat's love
And flicks the salt
from her tail and goes
Dat's love
You go for me
And I'm taboo
But if you're
hard to get
I go for you
And if I do
Den you are through
Boy
My baby, that's
the end of you
The end of you
So take your cue
Boy
Don't say I didn't
tell you true
She told you true
I told you truly
If I love you
Dat's de end
Of you
I hear you're gonna be a flyboy.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
I hope if you gotta
use a parachute, it's one I made.
[Factory Whistle Blows]
I'd like to toss a party for you
tonight at Billy Pastor's.
Give you a real send-off.
Pick me up at :OO.
We'll have ourselves a ball.
Sorry.
I got a date.
Honeybee, if you
change your mind,
you know where
to buzz me.
That girl's
mighty pretty.
Oh, I don't know.
She's what
the fellas back home
call a hot bundle,
I guess.
Yeah.
Looks like she's on fire
just for you.
I never lit it, honey.
How do I know?
'Cause
I got a girl.
But I live in another town.
I know what the fellas say--
if you got a gal
in another town,
you ain't got
no gal at all.
But you're not just
any girl, Cindy Lou.
There's nobody
in the whole world like you.
Nobody, except...
Except who?
My ma.
You talk
just like my ma
You even walk
just like my ma
And I know why
I'm stuck on you
It's 'cause I'm
just like my pa
- Ahhh
- I talk just like your ma
- Ahhh
- I even walk just like your ma
- Ahhh
- And I can see why you like me
- Ahhh
- 'Cause you is like your pa
You's awful like
your
Pa
Let me tell you
What the Lord did
He made me live
next door
So we could
fall in love
The way my pa and ma
The way my pa and ma
Did
Is you
my Cindy Lou?
I is
your Cindy Lou
And I belong
to you
And I belong
to you
- You is myJoe
- I is yourJoe
- I'm Cindy Lou
- My Cindy Lou
And I belong
To
You
Cindy, suppose I was
to ask my C.O.--
Ask him what,Joe?
To write ""OK""
in triplicate.
And what if I found
the chaplain and said,
""Sir, orders for
a rush weddin'""?
There's no use waiting
till the war's over to get married.
I got
a -hour pass.
We can have our
honeymoon tonight.
But what'll our folks say,
us not getting married
in church?
What do you say?
You wait right here
while I go find the C.O.
[M.P. Whistle
Blows Sharply]
You blabbermouth witch!
I told you if you told
the foreman on me, I'd--
Go back to that bad street
you come off of!.
[MP Whistle
Blows Sharply]
Ha ha ha!
Break it up!
What's this?
A full net of catfish!
Bail her out
of that chute.
Who's responsible
for this?
Me!
Corporal!
Take custody
of that prisoner.
Prisoner?
Interferin'
with the war effort.
Destroyin'
government property.
You heard me.
Remove the prisoner
off that table!
You go for me
And I'm taboo
But if you're
hard to get
I go for you
Here. Give this
to the judge in Masonville.
Masonville?
The army can't put
civilians in jail.
Gotta leave that pleasure
to the other civilians.
But I got a -hour pass.
You had yourself a pass.
This is an emergency.
Sabotage maybe.
But, Sarge--
You don't take off
for flyin' school
till tomorrow mornin',
which leaves you all night
to take care
of the prisoner.
Here's
the formal charges.
Judge sure
to get it now.
Corporal...
do your duty.
Take me to town.
Request a five-minute pass,
respectfully.
What for?
Private reasons.
Request not granted,
respectfully.
In case you forgot
the manual,
you're responsible
for this military prisoner
until you dump her
into the lap of civilian authorities.
Now get going.
Carmen Jones

Hooray!
Somethin' wrong,
little gal?
He volunteered
to take Miss Jones to jail.
A long way to town.
What you figure
he got in mind?
Just shows you can't
trust no corporals.
Well, I trustJoe.
What's your rush?
The sooner we get there,
the quicker
we gotta bust apart.
Cut that out.
Get over where
you belong.
That's just
what I'm doing.
OK, honey.
Accelerate me
all you want.
The harder I get bumped,
the more of me bounces.
Sugar, you ain't gonna
take me to the cooler, are ya?
Can't do you much good
once I'm in jail.
What you say we drive to a place
I know on the edge of town?
I'll show you more fun
than you ever had.
You're goin' to jail.
Dere's a cafe
on the corner
Run by my friend
Billy Pastor
A spot where a man
takes a lady
When he wants
to move faster
Guess I'll go
and say hello to Pastor
How can a lady
drink alone?
How can a lady
dance alone?
No lady can
romance alone
I oughta have
a sweetie-pie
De one I had
I give the air to
I threw his toothbrush
out the door
Now that I'm free,
my heart is sighin'
I'm off the hook
and lookin' for more
Dozens of fellas
telephone me
All askin' me
to make a date
I'm holdin' out
for somethin' special
But I don't know
How long I'll wait
Where will I wind up?
Who'll I be true to?
Ain't made my mind up
Waitin' for you to
What you say,
brother?
What you say, boy?
Ain't it time
that we got away?
O:OO sharp
on the corner
See that you're
right in there pitchin'
'Cause I ain't
de kind of a mare
Dat'll stand
without hitchin'
Now you got your little filly
at the startin' gate
Got a little filly
who is rarin' to go
[Train Whistle Blowing]
No, you don't.
I just want
to stretch my legs.
Well, stretch 'em
in here.
Boy, you's the roughest
of rough.
Won't even give me
a little break.
Sorry.
You're a prisoner.
You mean to say you're really
gonna take me to jail?
You won't be in
for long.
A minute's too long
for me.
I can't stand
bein' cooped up.
An order's an order.
Not here it ain't.
[Train Whistle Blowing]
Aah!
Uh-uh.
That's no way
to get to Masonville.
I'd like to see the road
that can stop this baby.
You will, sugar.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ain't no use.
You'll only
get messed up.
Careful, honey,
you'll bust your gaskets.
OK, out.
Oop.
Boy, but you strong.
The way you pull me up
like I was nothin'...
Bet you're a good dancer,
ain't you, honey?
I bet we could have us
a lot of fun.
Now, if you'd ask
my advice,
you'd turn right around
and go back as far as
the railroad crossing,
then along the tracks
till you get
to Sanitobia,
which is my hometown,
where the train stops
for Masonville.
You're tryin' to trick me,
and I know it.
I wouldn't do that
no more.
Cross my heart.
OK, we'll do it
your way.
Now get goin'...
and don't try
nothin' funny.
Believe me now?
When we get
to Masonville.
Still don't
trust me, huh?
Guess I'll have
to work on it.
Hi, Willa.
Well,
look who's home.
Carmen Jones.
Say, ain't that a five-star
brigadier admiral you got?
Somethin' better.
This boy's gonna be
a pilot.
Really?
Let's see now.
Flyboy's gotta have
somethin' special for supper.
How about a nice
roast chicken?
Yeah. I like that.
Hi, Harry.
Hi, Carmen.
We got potatoes,
beets, carrots, corn,
and peaches
right off the tree.
Oh, peaches!
We'll eat in Masonville.
When's that train?
It ain't due
till the moon's up.
And this town's
the last stop for the moon.
Come on. I want to know
when that train comes in.
Not till O:OO.
I got time
to cook you a supper
you won't ever
forget.
Thanks, Harry.
Thank you.
Oh, wait.
This is for you,
flyboy, for free.
Mighty kind
of you, but--
We'll accept.
[Dogs Barking]
Hello, Grandma.
[Kiss]
How you feelin',
honey?
I brought a fella
home for supper.
Hi.
Grandma,
somethin' wrong?
Trouble comin'
your way soon.
What trouble?
Found a buzzard
feather...
under the doorstep.
Buzzard feather?
Just 'fore
you come.
She's tryin' to keep
the bad spirits off
with that pail of water
in the moonlight.
Let the old buzzard
flap his wings right over me.
Till he comes down
and gets me,
I got a lotta
livin' to do.
Don't tell me
you go for that junk.
Come on,
start the party rollin'.
Have yourself a drink...
while I get
supper ready.
Thanks,
but I don't drink.
Boy...
if the army was made up
of nothin' but soldiers like you,
the war wouldn't
do nobody no good.
[Rooster Crows]
Guess that's what I like
about you, though,Joey.
You ain't like the others.
Yeah.
You ain't like 'em
at all.
[Rooster Crows]
[Rooster Crows]
That little candy-faced gal
I seen you with in the canteen,
is she your steady?
Uh-huh.
How steady?
We're gettin' married...
soon as I get back
to the base.
So that's why you're
in such a hurry
to dump me off
in Masonville.
I'm right in the way
of your honeymoon,
but not for long.
Ain't no way
to get the mud off.
It's OK.
Good thing you're
gettin' married.
You need a gal to look
after you in the worst way.
I'll do it.
Only mess yourself.
Don't want to get
into trouble
with them army cops
in Masonville.
You'll never get
to flyin' school.
Bet when
the war's over,
you'll come home
with a chest full of medals.
And that gal,
what's her name?
Cindy Lou.
Yeah. She'll hand 'em out
to all your kids.
Better win
a lot of medals.
You and Cindy Lou'll
need 'em.
One every year.
No bunch of kids for me.
Not till I can take care
of'em real good.
Got that
all figured out, too?
I know I'm not goin' back
to the farm.
I'm goin' to school,
learn all about planes.
What you gonna do
when the war's over?
Parachute factory's
bound to close.
Comin' back here?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
I never figure
from one day to the next.
I guess
you don't have to.
You're sure to get
a husband in any town.
Married? Me?
Never.
Your shoes
need polish bad.
I do my own.
Not when I'm around.
Sure.
You'll get married.
I'll bet you have all those
kids you wished on me.
Not a chance.
Why not?
Ain't in the cards.
Look, you can't let that
spooky stuff trip you up.
The signs
never lie,Joe.
Just don't pay 'em
no mind, Carmen.
Gal like you--
there's nothin'
you couldn't get
if you aim for it.
How you figure that?
Just look at you.
You got a lot more
than other gals.
[Rooster Crows]
A lot more what?
Got your belt on
twisted.
I'll fix it.
What's the matter?
You still don't
trust me, huh?
Or don't you trust
yourself?
Carmen.
Carmen!
[Carmen]
Sorry, honey.
Like / to/d you,
/ cou/dn't stand
bein'cooped up in jai/.
/ gotta be free
to come and go,
or /'d just die.
Don't hate me,Joey,
'cause / /ove you
/ike / /oved no man
before.
Prisoners...halt!
Left face!
OK, sit down.
Joe, honey,
I thought I'd never
see you again.
I tried,
and I asked...
They don't allow
no visitors
the first two weeks
in the stockade.
I'm sorry,
carryin' on like this.
I made myself promise
I wouldn't.
That's all right, Cindy.
How you been?
Waitin'.
Just waitin'
to see you.
Won't help none,
you hangin' around.
Go home to your ma.
You want me to?
I was just thinkin'
of you, Cindy.
Home's where you is,
Joe.
Are you all right,
honey?
How are they
treatin' you?
Fine, fine.
When you think
you'll get out?
Can't tell.
They'll still send you
to air school.
You'll see.
Truth is, Cindy--
I know.
Sergeant Brown told me.
But it don't
matter none.
I know you,Joe.
I know you're all done
with that gal.
Here,Joe.
Package for you.
Must be from my mom.
I wrote her to bake
something nice for you.
Time's up.
Prisoners,
fall in.
Left face.
Forward...
march.
Chow call.
Come and get it.
This flower that you
threw my way
Has been my friend
by night and day
I saw it fade
and lose its bloom
But still it kept
a sweet perfume
In my cell, through
every darkened hour
On my lonely eyes
lay this flower
And so I'd sleep
the whole night through
And dream of you
And dream of you
Then I'd wake up
with no one near me
And talk for
the jail walls to hear me
She ain't the best
They all the same
Like all the rest
She's just a dame
Then I told myself
I was ravin'
There was just one thing
I was cravin'
It wasn't food
It wasn't dough,
I guess you know
That it was you
You're
all I'll ever crave
And that's for true
I don't know anything
about you
I don't know much
about a shinin' star
Just know the world
is dark without you
That's all I know
I only want you
as you are
Carmen
I love
You
Thanks for the lift,
big oil man.
Goin' as far as New Orleans
if you want to help
the war effort, baby.
I got
my battle station.
Anybody here
ask for me?
The whole army,
that's all.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi. You know
who I mean.
No corporal by
the name ofJoe.

I'll tell you
why I wanna dance
It ain't the sweetness
in the music
I like the sweetness
in the music
Hmm, but that ain't why
I wanna dance
It's somethin' thumpin'
in the bass
That thump-thump-thumpin'
on the music
That bump-bump-bumpin'
on the music
Is all I need
to start me off
I don't need
nothin' else
Maybe I do
To start
Me off
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
And I don't
need no tune at all
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
And I don't
need no tune at all
I feel it beatin'
in my bones
It feel like
O million tom-toms
I know there's
O million tom-toms
Beatin' way down deep
inside my bones
I feel it beatin'
in my heart
And then I get
a kind of dream
And in my dream
it kind of seems
There's one big heart
in all the world
There ain't
but one big heart
One heart
In all the world
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
There's one big heart
in all the world
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
Beat out that rhythm
on a drum
There's one big heart
in all the world
And now that heart
is beatin' fast
And that's a rhythm
I can dance to
I'm mighty glad
I got a chance to
With that one big heart
that's beatin' fast
Tomorrow mornin'
let it rain
Tomorrow mornin'
let it pour
Tonight we
in the groove together
Ain't gonna worry
about stormy weather
Gonna kick old trouble
Out the door
Beat out that trouble
on a drum
Beat out old trouble
on a drum
Beat out old trouble
on a drum
And kick his carcass
out the door
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
Beat me that rhythm
on a drum
And kick old trouble
out the door
Kick him out the door,
kick him out the door
Kick him out the door,
kick him out the door
Charlie,
give me a double double
on the rocks.
Hey,Jones gal.
Hi, Carmen.
How's tricks?
Slow, Frankie.
You still carrying a blowtorch
for that boy in the stockade?
I reckon by now
it ought to be so hot
you can send it
to the navy.
They could use it
to weld battleships apart.
That's how it is.
Husky Miller!
Frankie,
Husky Miller!
Thanks a lot
I'm sure
glad to be
To be where
I can see
So many
friends of mine
How've I been doin'?
How've I been doin'?
If you really
want to know the truth
I'm doin' fine
decisions in a row
And only five on points
The rest was all K.O.
Jackson and Johnson
Murphy and Bronson
One by one
they come
And one by one
to dreamland
They go
How's it done?
You asked me
how's it done
I got a trainer man
Who taught me
all I know
Sure feels good to
have him in my corner
Hear his voice
a-whispering low
Big boy, remember
You must remember
Stand up and fight
Until you
hear the bell
Stand toe to toe
Trade blow for blow
Keep punchin' till you
make your punches tell
Show that crowd
what you know
Until you
hear that bell
That final bell
Stand up
and fight like hell
When you fight
out in the open air
In a patch of light
The ring looks
small and white
Out in the blackness
Out in the blackness
You can feel a hundred
thousand eyes fill the night
Cigarettes are blinkin'
in the dark
And makin' polka dots
around the baseball park
People are quiet
Then there's a riot
Someone throws a punch
And plants it
right smack on the mark
Someone's hurt
You kinda
think it's you
You hang across the ropes
That's all
you want to do
Then you look around
and see your trainer's eyes
Beggin' you
to see it through
They say,
remember, big boy
Remember
Stand up and fight
until you hear the bell
Stand toe to toe
Trade blow for blow
Keep punchin' till you
make your punches tell
Show that crowd
what you know
Until you
hear that bell
That final bell
Stand up
and fight like hell
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
And fight
Like hell
Three cheers
for Husky Miller,
the comin' champion
of the world.
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
Drinks for everybody
in the house.
Inform the gentleman
behind the bar.
Drinks on
Husky Miller!
Hello, Heat-Wave.
Introduce yourself.
You talk like
you know me already.
I noticed you right off
up on the balcony.
Did you notice me?
Why, no.
You was actin'
so bashful,
I didn't hardly
know you was there.
You talkin'
to the champ.
He looks at a chicken,
and she's down--
Shut your teeth.
Excuse my dust,
gentlemen.
The air's getting mighty
unconditioned around here.
What are you
getting paid for,
to manage me in the ring
or K.O. me with the dames?
This chick needs
a big investment of time,
which you is mighty short of,
with the train waitin'.
It don't leave for an hour.
It's waitin'
at the station.
Remember, you promised the trainer
O hours shut-eye.
OK, I ain't going to
break no promise to him.
But you listen to this
and listen good.
When I wake up in Chicago
tomorrow morning,
I want to see Heat-Wave
on the platform.
Suppose she don't
want to go to Chicago?
That's your toothache.
If you can't
show up with her,
find yourself
a new meal ticket.
Good night, all!
- Good night!
- Good night!
Hey, what's he mean,
go find yourself a new meal ticket?
He means I don't eat.
And, brother,
if I don't eat, you starve.
Come on, Myrt, let's go
where the money is.
I believe we had
this parking space reserved,
but don't get up.
Please don't.
Don't these gentlemen look
like they met us someplace before?
I'd swear I met them
with Husky Miller.
Where you
know Husky from?
Maybe New York,
New Orleans.
What you doin' in
this hamburger joint?
Passin' through.
Then you don't know
nobody in here?
Who you
want us to know?
Her.
Carmen? That's
my best friend.
What do you
want with her?
Nothing.Just asking.
Pull up to the curb and park.
If you insist.
I do. Indeed, I do.
Drinks for the ladies.
Psst.
Uh, what kind?
Ask 'em.
Made up
your minds yet?
Anything light.
You mean
with bubbles?
Champagne?
Why, it's much too splurgy.
Frankie.
Not for Rum Daniels,
the manager of Husky Miller.
You his manager?
For real?
And this
is Dink Franklin.
The manager's manager.
Large bottle of champagne
from the bottom cellar.
Sure, Mr Daniels.
Too bad we're leaving
for Chicago in an hour.
Hardly got time
to trade punches.
Would you care to stop
off in the windy city?
What's
the proposition?
What's the idea
talking to us
like we're
you-know-whats?
I had nothin'
like that in mind.
I was thinkin'
it'd be nice
to have your company
in a drawin' room,
showin' you around
the fancy stores in Chicago,
footin' the bill for things
you might want to buy,
like a diamond ring
or mink coat.
Mink?
If that ain't good enough,
maybe there's another kind
of fur they invented.
We're
old-fashioned girls.
Mink and diamonds
suits us fine.
Then it's settled.
Let's go. Don't want
to miss that train.
Get packed.
It might be a good idea
to pack up
your friend, too.
Carmen?
For Husky Miller.
And if she says no?
Then ain't none of us
gettin' on that train.
I get it.
Figured you would.
Well, come on.
But don't everybody
start talkin' at once.
Miss Jones, this is Rum,
Husky's manager.
And this is Dink,
his manager.
They takin' me
and Frankie to Chicago
in a drawin' room.
That's nice.
Reserved the biggest suite
in the biggest hotel.
Gonna buy us
fancy clothes.
Diamonds
and mink.
We'll be livin'
off the fatheads of the land.
The fatheads
of fatheads.
Care to join your friends
at the invitation of Husky Miller?
You hear that?
He askin' you to come to Chicago,
keep us company.
Chicago.
Man, will we
have ourselves a ball.
All expenses paid by the management,
including little extras.
Like a store full of diamonds
and fancy clothes.
For true?
That ain't
the half of it.
You take us to Chicago,
show us a good time,
what do we
gotta do for it?
Don't ask now.
Just get to Chicago first.
What do you say,
Heat-Wave?
What do you say,
Heat-Wave?
Wanna make a trip
on a crack Chicago train?
Now, that's a trip
you ought to make
It won't be hard
for you to take
Travel about as fast
as a Kansas hurricane
It only takes
a half a day
To be a thousand
miles away
- Away
- Come on
- Away
- Come on
That streamline engine
won't delay
- Away
- Come on
- Away
- Come on
That streamline engine
won't delay
That streamline engine
just can't wait
That streamline engine
ain't no freight
That streamline engine
won't be late
Whizzin' away
along the track
Clickety clack,
clickety clack
Leavin' the wind
away in back
Clickety clack,
clickety clack
Up a hill
and down a hill
And out
upon the plains again
Through a storm
and out of the storm
And pretty soon
it rains again
Only takes
a half a day
To be
a thousand miles away
It only takes
a half a day
To be a thousand miles
away, away
Come on away
Chicago
- Away
- Chicago
- Come on
- Away
- Come on
- Away
Hey
On a Chicago train
Go pack your duds.
Ain't got much time.
Carmen'll come.
I knew she would.
Well, let's
get goin'.
Wait, lemme
say my say
If you're bustin'
to go, den go
But just count me
out of de party
Just count me out
'Cause I ain't in
Oh, Carmen, honey,
have a heart
Don't want
no part of it
Don't want no part of it,
don't want no part
Don't waste our time
with all this fuss
Don't want
no part of it
Don't want no part
Whatcha got that
you like so much
Better
than this?
- Whatcha got?
- Whatcha got?
- Whatcha got?
- Whatcha got?
If I told you,
you'd only laugh
Oh, no
Not me
Go on
Give out
Ya gotta promise
not to laugh
- OK
- OK
- OK
- OK
Dere's a man
I'm crazy for
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Ha ha ha ha!
She's got a man
she's crazy for.
That's why she can't
come to Chicago.
That's a laugh.
I'm in love
And dat ain't no laugh
Well, shut my mouth
and call me dumb
And beat me,
I'm a kettledrum
The birdies in
the trees are hummin'
Carmen's in love
Carmen's in love
Still we ask
Won't you come?
And break your date
Give the gate
to your chum
Another night
I might have come
To raise
some pandemonium
But now the mockingbirds
are hummin'
Carmen's in love
Carmen's in love
Leave me here
with myJoe
And take your train
to Chicago and go
We gotta get you
on that train
Some other time
What makes
you think
There'll be
another time?
What makes you think
there'll be another time?
- To get a trip
- To get a trip
- To Illinois
- To Illinois
And get it free?
And get it free?
Dat is the place
dat I'd sure like to see
Whizzin' away
along the track
Clickety clack,
clickety clack
Leavin' the wind away
in back
Up the hill
and down the hill
And out upon
the plains again
Through a storm
and out of the storm
And pretty soon
it rains again
It only takes
a half a day
To be a thousand
miles away, away
It only takes
a half a day
To be a thousand
miles away, away
Come on along
Chicago
Come on, away
Come on, away
Hey
Whizzin' away
along the track
Off to Chicago
Illinois
Well, Carmen,
what's the count?
You comin' with us?
I always did want
to see the big town.
You got your wish.
Chicago gonna be
real good for you.
You gonna be real bad
for Chicago.
You comin'?
Mm-mmm.
Look, baby,
let's talk turkey.
Tomorrow mornin',
I gotta produce you in Chicago.
I don't care
what it costs.
Husky Miller
will sign the bill.
When he goes crazy
for a chick,
that chick starts lookin'
like a neon sign,
all lit up
with diamonds.
Diamonds ain't what
I want of a man.
If I love him, he don't
need no checkbook.
If I don't, a checkbook ain't
gonna do him no good.
Who's talkin'
about love?
We don't care what happens
between you and Husky
once you get
to Chicago.
He don't
appeal to you,
well, it ain't
nobody's fault.
It ain't that he
don't appeal to me.
He just rang my bell
when I'm busy.
Busy?
Fooling around here,
when you got a chance
go to Chicago?
You gonna stay here
and sleep,
or you gonna wake up
and come with us?
I'm gonna wait
here forJoe.
You've been
waitin' a month.
Bet he don't
never show up.
He'll come, as soon
as they let him out.
In case you wise up
before the train pulls out,
here's a ticket for drawin' room ""A,""
right over the wheels.
You can hear yourself
click-clickin' to Chicago.
Ain't no use
wastin' it.
Just castin' the bread
upon the waters.
Brother and sisters,join the prayer
meetin' in drawin' room "" E.""
Don't let too much distance
come between you and that money.
Come on, girl.
Joe!
Joey!
[Horn Honks]
I was afraid
you wouldn't be here.
I been here every night
waitin' for you.
They ain't
after you no more?
I got
a suspended sentence.
It felt like you was
never gettin' out.
Thinkin' about you
all the time
while you
was away from me.
I've been dreamin'
about tonight
and wonderin' if you would be
feelin' half as lovin'
as your Carmen
feels for you.
Carmen,
there's somethin'
you gotta know.
Tell me later,
when Carmen takes
you home with her.
Carmen will
unlace your shoes.
That's just it.
I can't stay
or go with you.
I gotta report
right back to the base.
What?
I gotta get that bus
leavin' for flying school.
Captain Haldane,
my C.O.,
he got my
court-martial reduced
and made 'em
take me back.
Where does that
leave us?
How far apart?
Only OO miles.
Only?
You'd come up
when I got a pass.
Boy, if that ain't
one on Carmen--
love on a pass.
Carmen--
Go to flyin' school.
Take off right now.
Then lay in your bunk,
look up at
them pin-up gals.
See what that gets you,
droopy drawers.
I got something
I want you to see.
That's been with me
all the time...
right here,
where you are.
That don't ring
so true.
I swear it's true.
Joe, if you loved me truly,
you know what you'd do?
What?
You'd come to Chicago.
Chicago?
I got enough dough
to get us both there. A ticket, too.
Been savin' up to
give my man a good time.
I just can't pick up
and go like that.
Joe, I want
to go someplace
where you're the last
thing I see at night,
first thing I see
in the morning.
I can't go A.W.O.L.
Just takin'
some time off
so we can be together
before you go away.
That's not the way
the army'd look at it.
Boy, if you ain't a lover
red-hot for Carmen.
Boy, if you ain't a lover
red-hot for Carmen.
You just burnin' up
with passion.
You sizzle
like a fish on ice.
I can't afford
no more demerits.
If I step
out of line again,
I'll never make
officers' flying school.
You know what?
You too chicken for me
to waste my time on.
Chicken is right.
Ha ha.
Look at that
officer material.
You got about as much
chance of bein' a flyer
as a flea
inside that shirt.
You quit that!
That's no kind of
man for you, Carmen.
He can't even keep
his shirt in his pants.
- You do that again, I'll--
- You'll what?
You ain't figurin' on
striking no sergeant?
That wouldn't be no
four weeks in the guardhouse,
more like four years.
How about it, sugar?
We got lost time
to make up.
Let's get started.
- You keep your paws off of her.
- Who's gonna make me?
Run along, Lieutenant
Casper Milktoast.
Looks like
he's hurt real bad.
Yeah.
Four years for
hittin' a superior,
ain't that
what he said?
Maybe more.
Get him in
them bushes. Hurry.
They're bound
to find him.
By that time,
we'll be far away.
I can't.
That's desertin'. I won't.
They find you here,
that's prison.
What you got to lose?
Come on, now.
Get a move on,Joe.
We gotta
make that train.
[Train Whistle Blows]
Who's that?
Husky Miller
the fighter.
I met him at Billy Pastor's
with Frankie and Myrt.
Hey, Carmen!
Carmen!
Hey, sister!
Carmen!
Blow on 'em, sugar.
Make 'em dry faster.
You can turn the heat
off now.
Oh, man, that tickles.
You some harmonica player.
Uhh!
What
a mosquito bite.
Why the camouflage?
You don't need it
with me.
Hand me them nylons,
honey.
You ain't goin' out.
As far as
the grocery store.
I gotta feed my man.
Look, Carmen--
[Train Passing]
I don't know how
to tell you, but...
I'm busted.
I gave the last of my pay
to the landlady.
I got some jingly stuff.
I ain't gonna
let you shell out.
We gotta eat,
growin' boy.
Not on your dough.
What's mine's yours,
Joey,
and that goes
right down the line.
If I could
only get out.
Them military cops
on your tail...
they'd grab you so fast...
I'd still be kissin'
the breeze good-bye...
when you is
in Leavenworth.
Easy, honey.
Easy.
[Drops Coins]
You're bits shy.
Charge it to Husky.
And you discovered Husky.
To the spoils
belong the credit.
There I was on
the New York waterfront
sellin' about
a million dollars of war bonds,
when I see this big boy
walkin' down the gangplank
carryin' a jeep--
with one hand.
I said to myself,
""That's my man.""
And you can put that
in your column.
Heat-Wave!
Look who's here,
the answer to our prayers.
If it ain't
theJones girl.
Hi, Frankie.
I saw you get off
at the station.
Where you been all week?
Around, havin'
myself a time.
Where,
in a bargain basement?
Get a load of me.
Look at this iceberg.
It's almost real.
That's nothin' compared
to what'll drift your way
now you're back
in the big swim.
I came to ask you
for a loan.
You busted?
Can you let me have
a couple of bills?
You talkin'
to the wrong party.
There's your bank,
with all the doors
wide open.
You just tell Husky
what you want.
He's just percolatin'
to take care of you real good.
If the press
will excuse me,
this manager's
got to start
managin' somethin' special
for the champ.
Got all that
I need. Thanks.
Miss Jones,
this is a pleasure indeed.
You sure showed up
in time.
We can't get nothin'
out of Husky no more.
She means Husky got his mind set
on findin' you.
How you been?
Great when we
were buyin' out all the stores,
but now Husky's
stopped all charge accounts.
You'll be raidin' 'em
again with Miss Jones.
And chargin' 'em.
Hi, boss. Told you I'd produce her
before the big fight.
Where you been wastin' time
away from me?
Into the dressing room.
Go on. You want
to catch a draft?
Can't fight
with my trainer.
Stay put.
I'll be out in no time.
Then you and me'll start
the second Chicago fire.
You're all set, honey.
Just like bein' partners
with the U.S. Mint.
All you gotta do is grab.
I didn't come here to take up
with that punchin' bag.
Don't you like him?
He just one man
too late, that's all.
You still
with that soldier boy?
You stakin' me or not?
Sorry, honey,
I'm flat, too.
All I got's a car,
fancy clothes,
diamonds, and mink.
Come in
the dressin' room with me.
Maybe I can promote
some cash-and-carry.
I'll wait here.
Be sociable with Husky,
or I'll get nowhere
with his manager.
Dust off the divan
for the ladies.
Yes, Mr Daniels.
Look at that
physique, Carmen.
Bet your soldier boy's
got nothin' like--
Glad to know
you're only human.
Get this and
get it right.
I didn't come here
to stay in your corner.
Say that again.
She means
she's too bashful
to come right out
and admit it.
Oh, that's different.
You gettin' me
that loan,
or do I have
to listen
to more
of braggin' mouth?
What loan?
For clothes and things--
Put a raid on the stores.
Just name it and charge it.
Thanks, Frankie,
but it won't work.
What is this?
Where are you goin'?
Sorry. Carmen
ain't for sale.
Heat-Wave, wait!
You just relax
them classy muscles.
Leave that gal
to me.
It ain't my fault
she's walkin' out.
You know females
are always changin' their stripes.
Get out...
and don't come back
till you bring Heat-Wave
with you for good.
And that goes
for your manager, too.
Carmen!
I hate to see
a hep chick like you
actin' like
a dumb cluck.
Be sensible.
Frankie...
OK, keep
your soldier boy.
That don't mean
you gotta walk out
on a convertible,
gold-lace nightgown--
Oh, everything.
You know two-timin'
ain't my speed.
Just shift gears
and join the female race.
Keep one man
for the ride
and one for the money.
Uh-uh.
Listen, honey,
I'll level
right out with you.
If you don't show up
for Husky,
we're right out
in the cold.
How about it, sugar,
for us?
Ain't that I don't want
to help you, Frankie--
Only?
I can't.
Love? Nobody lives
on that street forever.
Not with the same man.
You're bound to move,
maybe sooner than
you want to believe.
Let you know
when I get the message.
When you do,
ring me at the hotel.
Here's the number.
Don't wait too long,
Heat-Wave.
Husky liable to start
blowin' cold.
See ya.
OK.
[Knock On Door]
[Knock On Door]
What took you so long?
I had to wait for it.
All that time?
[Train Passing]
You been gone
ever since--
I got back as soon
as I could, honey.
It's a lot of stuff.
All you had was loose change
when you went out.
Where'd the rest
come from?
What's the difference?
I want to know.
Well?
Look, boy, don't go
puttin' me on no stand.
I don't answer
to nobody.
If you got nothin'
to hide...
Do you think I do?
What do you expect me
to think?
Why don't you tell me?
You think what you want.
I don't account
to no man.
You're accountin'
to me.
I love you, and that gives me
the right to--
That don't give you
no right to own me.
There's only one
that does,
and that's me. Myself.
Where you goin'?
I might come back.
Carmen, I'm sorry.
Carmen...
Carmen, will you--
[Train Passing]
[Train Passing]
That racket.
It's enough to drive rivets
into your head.
[Humming]
You goin' out again?
Feel like
takin' a walk.
You already had one
today.
[Humming]
Feel like another one.
Da dum dum da
Da da da da dum
Dum dum da-dum...
Look, honey,
I'm sorry
for the way I blew off.
You're spillin' it.
That ain't no reason
to turn on the ice.
Look, boy, I don't have
to keep the truth from nobody.
I can't stand being cooped up
in this alley no more.
But you know the M.P.s are
after me hot and heavy.
I gotta stay in here.
You gotta.
I don't.
What does that mean?
[Humming]
I'm bustin' out
for a while.
Da dum dum dum...
Who with?
[Humming]
You really want to know?
Well, I asked you.
I'll tell ya.
With a friend of mine...
Frankie.
That gal that works
at Billy Pastor's?
What's she doin'
in Chicago?
[Humming]
She's with
that Husky Miller crowd.
Got here when we did.
My seams on straight?
Who's she throwin'
your way?
[Whistling]
You ain't goin' nowhere.
You're stayin' here
where you belong...
with me.
[Whistling]
I don't get it.
This place suited you fine
before you went out.
What happened
in between?
Got a whiff of fresh air,
that's what happened.
Just want to get
more of it.
Not without me.
Maybe you ain't got
the message yet,
but Carmen's one gal
nobody puts on a leash.
No man's gonna tell me
when I can come and go.
I gotta be free,
or I don't stay at all.
You talk like
this was a jail.
You're makin' it one.
It ain't to me.
I could stay in this place
the rest of my life
and never go out...
as long as you're here.
But when you ain't,
it's worse than jail.
Ain't no light, no air.
Suppose
I never come back?
You'd never get away
from me.
I'd follow you down the rivers,
across the sea...
to hell
or up to heaven.
Why'd you ask?
Just to hear you
say it.
You're hurtin' me,
Joe.
I'm sorry, honey.
I didn't mean to.
[Whistling]
Get back soon,
and remember,
I'm waitin'.
You just keep a light
burnin' in the window, boy.
[Train Passing]
[Whistling]
Poor champ.
Can't have no happy tunes,
no good time, nothin'.
Just gotta keep
trainin' and trainin'
to keep in trainin'.
Want to break it for fun
and see what happens?
Take the count.
Get me some more.
You already put one
seltzer bottle away.
Make this one
for the road.
Can't afford to have
skirts in your head,
not with the big fight
around the block.
You gotta forget
that woman.
I'm tryin', trainin' man.
I'm tryin'.
Hi, Husk.
I said to keep out
of my corner.
You're fired for good
until you show up
with Heat-Wave.
Just gotta give Rum
the teletype, boss.
There she is.
Heat-Wave!
Easy, boy.
Don't K.O. me
in round one.
Give the fans
their money's worth.
Tell my fortune.
Let's go.
I want to watch.
Make it good.
Make it good.
Am I goin' to get
that certain party?
One thing's sure.
The cards don't lie.
Cut them.
Cut them.
.
.
That's quite a card
That's quite a card
Do you mean
good or bad?
Is that good
or bad?
Quiet, please
Quiet, please
You're gonna get
a lot of money.
I don't know how
you're gonna spend it all.
Will this gal see
A bright and happy
future
Or will she be
A good-for-nothin'
moocher?
Come on, you cards,
and tell her true
Come on, you cards,
and tell her true
And tell her
how she gonna do
And tell her
how she gonna do
For good or bad
For high or low
Come on, you cards,
and let her know
Whatever way
the wind will blow
All set?
All set
For sure?
Let's go
Let's see
What they say
about me
Oh, you're gonna get
a good man, Carmen.
[Laughing]
Yeah.
Here's your
little secret.
The of spades.
De
Dere he is
De old boy
Plain as can be
Death got his hand
On me
It ain't no use
To run away
from dat old boy
If he is chasin' you
It's best
to stand right up
And look him
in de face
When he is facin' you
You gotta be
prepared to go
With dat old boy
No matter what the time
So I won't fill my pretty eyes
with salty tears
'Cause I ain't
got de time
I'm gonna run out
every second I got left
Before he throws me down
I'm gonna laugh and sing
And use up
all my breath
Before he mows me down
While I can fly around
I'll do my flyin' high
I'm gonna
keep on livin'
Up to de day I die
De
Hello

[Landlady]
I run a respectable place.
Take a look
at this picture.
Does he live here?
One flight up.
Room .
You're too late,
Miss.
Husky's finished trainin'
for the day.
I'm looking for someone
the newspapers say he's
runnin' around with.
Is her name Carmen?
That's who.
She's in his dressing room,
right there to the left.
Thank you.
We got all the toothbrushes
we need, lady.
Wait. I'm here to see
Miss Carmen Jones.
Please.
I gotta see her.
Me?
Say,
ain't you that gal
Joe was stuck on?
Yes. I came here
to find out where he is.
You're the only one
that know.
Nice gal like you
gonna get into trouble
takin' up
with a deserter.
I don't care
what he done.
I gotta find him.
Tell me where he is,
please.
[Whistling]
Joe!
So you run out on me.
Sure.
He can give you
a better time than I can.
Fancy clothes...
swell company,
the whole works.
Husky Miller's
latest woman...
only that ain't
the way it's gonna be.
We is all
washed up.
Go away.
Go with
this sweet little gal.
You'd like that,
I guess.
You'd like me
to leave you free to play.
Only you're comin' with me
where you belong.
Put a hand on Carmen,
I'll immobilize ya!
Don't fight with him.
Who is this jerk?
Shut your fat trap.
You double-crossin' tramp.
What'd you call her?
Husky, you'll kill him
with one tap!
I swore I'd let no man
take you away from me.
How you gonna
stop me?
I'll show you.
No! You're
in enough trouble!
Go away.
Somebody
get the police!
You stay put!
Joe, honey,
listen. Listen!
I'm no good.
Go on home to your ma!
Put that thing
away, boy.
Ain't gonna
get you nowhere with me.
Nor with him neither.
That's enough, Husky!
That's enough!
That's enough!
The M.P.s!
Get out
the back way.
Go on.
You're comin' with me.
She ain't goin'
nowhere with you.
I said
we was washed up.
Why you helpin' me
to get away?
I can't stand nobody
bein' cooped up.
Right this way,
gentlemen.
Just keep goin'.
Go on home.
Forget him.
Bait your hook
for fish you can fry.
How can I love a man
When I know
he don't want me?
He ain't been good
He ain't been kind
He give me up
For that old
roadside woman
But I can't drive him
from my mind
I's scared
O Lord, I's scared
I's like a leaf
that's lost her tree
I's alone
Alone
I's alone
He got hisself
another woman
Did she feel his arms
all around her?
No, Lord,
I can't believe it's so
No, Lord, don't you
let her keep myJoe
Make him throw her back
where he found her
Joe
You said that
both your arms was mine
Remember
You said your arms
was mine
I's
Your gal
I was always your gal
There was no one but me
You said
there never could be
We was in love
And I reckon
we showed it
From the way
people talked
Reckon everyone
knowed it
Kids on the street
where we'd go
Used to yell at us
""Cindy Lou
belongs toJoe""
Lord, O Lord
Look down
and try to see
How you can makeJoe
come home
To me
O Lord, look down
Lead myJoe
Off the road
Where he's strayin'
Oh, tell my man
Where to go
O Lord, I's callin'
On
You

And Applause]
You're comin' with me,
or you ain't goin' no place.
Let me go.
You promised you was gonna
be mine till the end.
That's one promise
you're gonna keep.
Can't you get it
through your head?
We're done.
Now let me go.
I'd sooner kill ya.
Then here's your chance.
But all I wanna do
Is love you
Like I used to
To hold your hand
in my hand
And feel your heart
next to my heart
Can't we begin again?
Couldn't we
start all over?
Couldn't we
Begin again?
If you wanna
start a fire
Where a fire
was before
De coal you burn
must be new coal
Our flame is out
Cold as the snow
We had ourselves
some fun
Didn't we?
And now it's done
But where can I
put my memories?
They got
no sea to drown in
The little things that
used to make us laugh
When we was clownin'
And all the things
we'd say or do
Are all part of me
And you
Joe, you is
makin' it tough now
For yourself,
the same as for me
Joe, ain't you heard
me say enough now?
No
No
No!
What used to be
ain't no more
Do you forget
How I used
to love you?
No one butJoe
Ever loved you so good
Let's go away
And begin our life
all over
Carmen
all alone with Joe
Don't you think
there's a chance?
Only say dat you do
No
Dat wouldn't
be true
Ain't gonna lie
Ain't gonna lie
I look at life
Straight in de eye
I'll have no man
laugh at me
while you're
rollin' around in his arms.
Stay with me,
or I'll kill you.
OK, kill me now,
or let me go.
For the last time.
For the last time.
Here's dat O-cent store
ring you give me.
Now, that's the end
of you.
You tramp.
You're no good.
You never were.
Two-timin' me
like it don't count for nothin'.
Well, it does.
You ain't never gonna
do that to no man again.
String me high
on a tree
So that soon
I will be
With my darling
My baby
My Carmen
