I Like It (Reprise)

OLDER CALOGERO:

I guess I should've listened.

But I was just a kid.

I thought that I knew better.

And, hell, perhaps I did.

From out of the bar, I heard voices I knew.

And music, and laughter, and Sonny's voice too.

And I felt bad.

YOUNG CALOGERO: But I liked it.

OLDER CALOGERO: Ignored my dad.

YOUNG CALOGERO: 'Cause I liked it.

OLDER CALOGERO: And if he didn't know, heck what's an hour or so?

BOTH: And somehow one hour turned into two. And somehow two hours just kept on going.

OLDER CALOGERO: Hours became days.

YOUNG CALOGERO: Weeks went by in a haze.

BOTH: 'Til eight years passed me by without any sign of slowing.

OLDER CALOGERO:

And Sonny's reach kept growing.

And guess who he became?

The "Capo Di Tutti Capi"!

The East Coast's biggest name.

And "Wise Guys" would come from all over the land.

To pay their respects, kiss his ring, shake his hand. LA!

WISE GUY #1: Hey, Louie! How you doin'?

OLDER CALOGERO: Miami!

WISE GUY #2: How'm I doin'? How you doin'?

OLDER CALOGERO: Chicago!

WISE GUY #3: I'm doin' good. How you doin'?

OLDER CALOGERO: Detroit!

WISE GUY #4: Can't complain.

OLDER CALOGERO: Las Vegas!

ALL WISE GUYS:

You look good. No, you look good. No, you look good.

No, you look good. No, you look good.

OLDER CALOGERO: (speaking)

Guys! Youse all look good!

SOME WISE GUY: (speaking)

Who the hell are you?

SONNY:

I call him "C".

And I like him.

The kid's with me. 'Cause I like him.

If you're smart fellas you better like the kid too.

ALL WISE GUYS:

We like him!

OLDER CALOGERO:

And suddenly I found myself in 1968.

The Yankees in the sellers.

The Beatles sounding great.

The bar's always jumpin'.

The laughs never end.

And I'm Sonny's guy, I'm his boy, I'm his friend.

And I like it.

Yeah.

I liked it.

Oh yeah!

Sonny's reign had begun and I was like Sonny's son.

And I liked it.

Oh, I liked it!

I liked it!
