He Plays the Violin from the Musical 1776
("Prelude" wink
Martha: Oh, he never speaks his passions
He never speaks his views
Whereas other men speak volumes
The man I love is mute
In truth I can't recall
Being wooed with words at all
Even now...
Dialogue
Martha: He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh he bows
For he knows, yes he knows
That it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
It's my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Hi-hi-hi-hi
I am undone
Franklin: The violin, ma'am?
Martha: I hear his violin
And I get that feeling within
And I sigh, oh I sigh
He draws near, very near
And it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
Goodbye to the fiddle
My strings are unstrung
Hi-hi-hi-hi
I'm always undone
Franklin: That settles it, John, we're taking up the violin.
Dialogue and Music
All: Hi-hi-hi-hi
Martha: Hi...
When heaven calls to me
Sing me no sad elegy
Say I died, loving bride
Loving wife, loving life
For it was hi-hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
'Twixt my heart, Tom, and his fiddle
And ever 'twill be
All: Hi-hi-hi-hi
Martha: Through eternity...
Adams: He plays the violin.
Franklin: He plays the violin.
Martha: He plays the violin.
("Epilogue" wink
Dialogue
Franklin: For it's
Hi-hi-hi-diddle-diddle
And God bless the man who can fiddle
Adams: And independency!
Franklin: *yawn*
Both: Hi-hi-hi-hi.
Ya-da-da-da-da...
Through eternity!
He plays the violin
Violin
Violin...
