This World Will Remember Me Lyrics - Bonnie & Clyde - Original Broadway Cast Recording - Frank Wildhorn

CLYDE: 

The men in this town 

Live and die and are forgotten 

And it doesn't seem to scare 'em, I can't wait to get away 

Away from the drought 

And the homeless and the hungry 

Where they talk about foreclosures every hot and dusty day 

I don't intend to waste my life 'round here 

I got it all mapped out 

If I can pull just three jobs a year 

I'll be rich, I'll have wealth and fame 

Everyone will know my name 

BONNIE: 

"Pull three jobs," what does that mean? 

CLYDE: 

What do you think it means? 

Just like Billy the Kid 

And Mr. Capone 

Every kid will idolize Clyde Barrow 

One thing young lady, I guarantee 

Is that this word will remember me 

Yes this world will remember me 

Don't you think it's time 

That you lost that egg-stained apron 

And wore something made of satin 

From a fine Manhattan store? 

Yes I can see you 

In a car with your own driver 

You are headed to your penthouse 

That will overlook the shore 

Your face should be up on the silver screen 

You've got that "it girl" look 

BONNIE: 

I can't believe that you see that in me 

I always knew I'd be a star 

How intelligent you are! 

CLYDE: 

We are wasted 'round here 

We're too good for this place 

We weren't born to live and die in Texas 

This is my plan, there's no plan B 

And this world will remember me 

You and this world will remember me
