Raven862 asked about this song from Newsies, so enjoy your request! I thought it would be fun if, during Karaoke Day in chapter 5 of my story The Secret Love Song, James and Vivian are convinced to do one more duet. Some of the girls in the choir join in, but they don't know why James is reluctant to sing. Even the substitute teacher, Miss Kelly, gets into the song. Newsies is not mine.
James: Well, hello again
Vivian: Please go away. I'm working
James (spoken): A smart girl, eh? Beautiful. Smart. Independent
(sings) I got no use for moonlight
Or sappy poetry
Love at first sight's for suckers
At least it used to be
Look, girls are nice, once or twice
Till I find someone new
But I never planned on someone like you
I got no use for moonlight
Or sappy poetry
Love at first sight's for suckers
At least it used to be
[Zooey/Miss Kelly/Hildegard/Cleo (in the background):]
(Don't come a-knocking on my door
You aren't welcome here no more
I should have known you
Stunk like yesterday's trash
The night you stole my heart
Plus forty dollars in cash
Turns out my beau is just some bum
Turns out that love ain't blind, its dumb
You never told the truth or
Worked a day in your life
In fact, you're so revoltin'
I feel bad for your wife
I won't be shaving your back
Anymore, no seƱor
Don't come a-knocking
On my door!
Don't come a-knocking
On my door!
Don't come a-knocking
On my door!)
Vivian: What are you doing?
James: Quiet down. There's a show going on
Vivian: You are the most impossible boy...
James: Shh...
Vivian: Ever
James: No, I never planned on someone like you
