Mountain Duet

Lyrics for Mountain Duet

This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick. A drink on a clear moonlit night-- I relax, she smiles There's something unpleasant going on So with immaculate timing I'm left to carry the can Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned-- Now she can't be working for them--I mean us-- She seems so very straightforward But where is he. .He has to come back--he wanted this meeting, well didn't he? Maybe he's scared--just as scared as he was in the game Oh I just couldn't care less He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career I know I've done my best Well, at least she's a good-looking spy. What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans Are more of an intimate kind? If I don't say something and soon He'll go-- nobody's on nobody's side. Listen, I hate to break up the mood Get to the point, begin the beguine Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short In this idyllic, well-produced scene? All I can say is moments ago He was right here ready and waiting Never mind him--I haven't missed him so far Maybe it won't do any harm To struggle on without his charm? Funny how all at once I feel That he can go jump off the mountain I won't care This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid My dear opponent I really can't imagine why So I am not dangerous then? What a shame! Oh you're not dangerous who could think that of you. .You--you are so strange--why can't you be what you ought to be? You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half-- I have to hand it to you For you've managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce. I don't know why I can't think of anything I would rather do Than be wasting my time On mountains with you
