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

CLYDE: 

Well who would have thought 

That a waitress from Rowina 

Would have had the balls to bust me out 

With my old forty-five. 

And who would have thought 

That a farm boy from Tolico 

Could outsmart the smartest lawman 

And walk out of here alive. 

My name is gonna make the history books 

Too bad I wont be here. 

I may have started out with small-time crooks 

In a year or two I'll be as known as Chicago's Al Capone. 

BONNIE (Spoken): 

Bye baby. 

CLYDE (Spoken): 

See you soon, sugar. 

CLYDE: 

Thanks to you Bonnie babe I can make plans again 

I got lots of reasons to keep livin'. 

Its true that love can set you free 

And this world will remember me. 

BONNIE: 

You said you'd go straight 

Clyde, I wanna be in movies 

I can't name one movie star who's doing robberies on the side. 

I know in my heart babe, that Hollywood is calling 

How can I be in the spotlight if we always have to hide. 

CLYDE: 

We'll need some dough to get to Hollywood 

One to two jobs should do. 

BONNIE: 

But after that we will be done for good. 

CLYDE: 

Babe when Hollywood gets hold of you 

They'll be sayin' Clara who? 

No need to rush everybody gets our autographs. 

"Hell of a ride!" will be the words on our epitaphs. 

BOTH: 

Two living legends that's what we will be 

And that's ok with me. 

Every place that we go 

Folks will turn their heads 

They'll be hollerin' from Dodge to Denver. 

We are the pair that they'll discuss 

Yes this world will remember us. 

We are making dang sure that we are leave our mark 

You don't leave your mark by diggin' ditches. 

No wonder we're who they'll discuss 

Yes this world will remember us. 

CLYDE: 

This dang world will remember us. 

BONNIE: 

This cold world will remember us. 

BOTH: 

No way they wont remember us.
