Takin' The Long Way Home (Live)

Baby, Im taking the long way home
Cause my baby dont live there no more
Excuse me ladies, youre singers, arent you?
Were the best. Were the Dreamettes
Were featured in the talent show
Ladies, Ive got the break of your lives
The great Jimmy Early is in need of some backup help.

Ooooh, Jimmy Early!
No. No, we dont do backup
Oh, come on Effie, all weve gotta do is a few oohs and aahs
I dont do oohs and aahs.
Now, you look, Effie, this could be our big break
and Im just dyin to meet Thunder Early! (giggles)

You look, singing backup is a trap
Im sorry mister, but we cannot accept your offer
You see, were going to be very busy after we win this talent contest.

You think so, do you?
No more
Come on ladies, youre on next
Whats the name of your group?
The Dreamettes! The Dreamettes
I cant wear this wig. And this dress doesnt fit me!
You got the same wig I got?
Yeah.

You got the same dress I got?
Yeah
Then shut up
Say, MissI think you look just great.
Im walking slow
Cause my baby dont live there no more!
And now, straight from Chicago, the Creamettes!
Its the Dreamettes! The Dreamettes!
