Mountain Duet Lyrics
[00:16.37] This is the one situation
[00:19.97] I wanted most to avoid
[00:24.45] Nothing I say will convince him
[00:27.26] This isn't a trick.
[00:29.00] A drink on clear moonlit night--
[00:33.57] I relax, she smiles,
[00:38.03] There's something peculiar
[00:39.80] Going on.
[00:43.47] So through no fault of my own
[00:47.05] I'm stuck here to carry the can.
[00:50.72] Embarrassed, uncertain, marooned.
[00:54.30] Now she can't be working for them--
[00:58.85] I mean us--
[01:01.51] She seems to know what she's doing,
[01:05.17] But where is he?
[01:06.92] He has to turn up,
[01:11.56] He wanted this meeting,
[01:14.28] Didn't he?
[01:16.09] Maybe he's scared,
[01:17.87] But he didn't seem scared
[01:19.60] In the game.
[01:22.33] Oh, I just couldn't care less.
[01:27.71] He can go right ahead,
[01:32.31] Go and wreck his career,
[01:34.18] I know I've done my best.
[01:38.60] Well, at least
[01:40.45] She's a good looking spy.
[01:44.95] What if my Russian friend
[01:46.85] Thinks that my plans
[01:49.55] Are more of an intimate kind?
[01:54.08] If I don't say something
[01:56.72] And soon
[01:58.52] He'll go.
[02:00.33] Maybe I'm on nobody's side!
[02:02.18] Listen, I hate to break up the mood.
[02:08.53] Get to the point,
[02:09.40] Begin the beguine.
[02:13.93] Haven't you noticed
[02:15.74] We are a protagonist short,
[02:20.28] In this idyllic,
[02:22.07] Well-produced scene?
[02:25.65] He couldn't wait
[02:27.50] To join you up here.
[02:31.13] Maybe he walked--
[02:33.87] Cable cars scare him.
[02:38.36] Never mind him,
[02:39.25] I haven't missed him so far.
[02:42.83] Maybe it won't do any harm
[02:47.35] To struggle on without his charm.
[02:51.04] Funny how all at one I feel
[02:55.50] That he can go jump off the mountain--
[03:00.06] I won't care!
[03:10.97] This is the one situation
[03:15.41] I wanted most to avoid.
[03:19.08] My dear opponent--
[03:21.75] I really can't imagine why.
[03:25.31] So I am not dangerous then?
[03:29.03] What a shame.
[03:31.71] No, you're not dangerous.
[03:35.37] Who could think that of you?
[03:38.09] You are so strange.
[03:42.59] Why can't you be
[03:44.39] What you want to be?
[03:47.12] You should be scheming,
[03:48.93] Intriguing,
[03:49.88] Too clever by half!
[03:53.45] I have to hand it to you
[04:00.64] For you've managed
[04:02.40] To make me forget
[04:04.29] Why I ever agreed on this farce.
[04:07.92] I don't know why
[04:09.78] I can't think of anything
[04:16.06] I would rather do
[04:23.22] Than be wasting my time
[04:30.51] On mountains with you.
[04:43.12] Who'd ever think it?
[04:44.99] Such a very pretty setting.
[04:47.67] Tell me what's the betting,
[04:50.36] Very pretty plotting, too.
[04:53.14] No matter--
[04:55.81] I've done all your work for you.
[05:00.35] Freddie.
[05:06.60] Who'd ever guess it?
[05:08.48] Daughter in collaboration
[05:10.26] With the very nation
[05:13.08] Gave her father third degree.
[05:14.84] Where's Daddy, dead,
[05:17.59] Or in the KGB?
[05:22.93] While my second has been curling up with my opponent,
[05:25.65] I have agreed to new terms with Global Television,
[05:28.36] Which in short means more money--
[05:30.11] For you as well, but that can't be helped.
[05:32.95] Therefore, this meeting is unnecessary.
[05:34.75] The match can continue and we don't have to be friends.
[05:38.13]
[00:19.97] I wanted most to avoid
[00:24.45] Nothing I say will convince him
[00:27.26] This isn't a trick.
