Michael-Leon Wooley – Letras de Takin' The Long Way Home

[TINY JOE DIXON:] Baby, I'm taking the long way home
Cause my baby don't live there no more
[MARTY:] Excuse me ladies, you're singers, aren't you?
[DEENA JONES:] We're the best. We're the Dreamettes.
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] We're featured in the talent show.
[MARTY:] Ladies, I've got the break of your lives.
The great Jimmy Early is in need of some backup help...
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Ooooh, Jimmy Early!
[EFFIE WHITE:] No. No, we don't do backup.
[DEENA JONES:] Oh, come on Effie, all we've gotta do is a few ooh's and aah's.
[EFFIE WHITE:] I don't do ooh's and aah's.
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Now, you look, Effie, this could be our big break...
and I'm just dyin' to meet “Thunder” Early! (giggles)
[EFFIE WHITE:] You look, singing backup is a trap.
I'm sorry mister, but we cannot accept your offer.
You see, we're going to be very busy after we win this talent contest.
[MARTY:] You think so, do you?
[TINY JOE DIXON:] No more....
[ANNOUNCER:] Come on ladies, you're on next. What's the name of your group?
[DEENA JONES:] The Dreamettes! The Dreamettes.
[EFFIE WHITE:] ...I can't wear this wig. And this dress doesn't fit me!
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] You got the same wig I got?
[EFFIE WHITE:] ...Yeah.
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] You got the same dress I got?
[FFIE WHITE:] Yeah...
[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Then shut up.
[CURTIS TAYLOR, JR.:] Say, Miss...I think you look just great.
[TINY JOE DIXON:] I'm walking slow...
'Cause my baby don't live there no more!
[ANNOUNCER:] And now, straight from Chicago, the Creamettes!
[DEENA JONES:] It's the Dreamettes! The Dreamettes!
