Gettin' Ready Rag Lyrics

Coalhouse:
The Good Lord looked down and saw me lonely and loveless and he
thought to himself, "Enough is enough. I'm putting Sarah in Coalhouse's
life."

AND HE DID.

This wasn't a woman. This was an angel.She was a gift of God. 
Coalhouse loved this woman, but not wisely, and not too well.She left
me without a trace.There was no pity for me.

Sarah's Friend:
None at all, Coalhouse.

Coalhouse:
CALL ME A FOOL.
OH, YES!I WAS!
NOW SHE IS HAUNTING ME
JUST LIKE A MELODY
THE ONLY SONG I SEEM TO KNOW.
SARAH, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED.
SARAH, I MISS YOU SO.
SARAH, I DID YOU WRONG.
SARAH, WHERE DID YOU GO?

I asked everywhere. I knocked on many doors. And then this morning, the miracle happened. I found out where she is and I'm going to do my damndest to see she takes me back. Ladies and gentlemen, the Gettin' Ready Rag!

Dancers and Coalhouse:
GETTIN' READY RAG!
GETTIN' READY RAG!
GETTIN', GETTIN', GETTIN' READY RAG.

Women:
ANYTHING IT TAKES

Men:
ANYTHING YOU NEED

Dances:
GOTTA FIND YOUR GIRL, COALHOUSE.
AND WIN HER BACK!

Coalhouse:
SARAH, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED.
SARAH, I'LL MAKE IT SHOW.
YOU'LL TAKE ONE LOOK AT ME,
SOMEHOW I KNOW YOU'LL KNOW...
