Why Does the Whole Damn World Adore Me? Lyricsby Sherry! Cast. From Sherry! Why Does the Whole Damn World Adore Me? by Sherry! Cast SHERRY At night when all my daily battles have been fought And I lie in my private domain, This is the sort of philosophic thought That pops into my unsurpassed but over burdened brain: Why does the whole damn world adore me? I'm just an insignificant genius, nothing more I'd give my soul if they'd ignore me You'd think the simple simons had never seen a Renaissance Man before Where do they get the pathetic illusion That I care to be their cup of tea? I've reached a sad but true conclusion That it's absolutely deplorable To be as downright adorable as me! Day after day, week after week, Why do they shout? Why do they shriek, "Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Whiteside Can we help it if our admiration shows?" "You're as great as Guy Lombardo, Norman Rockwell, Edgar Guest and Major Bowes!" (spoken) These people could give bad taste a bad name... (sung) Why does the whole damn world admire me? I never said I wanted to join the human race Why do these dowagers desire me? I don't know why they're making a fuss, I'm just another attractive face I'm quite content having dinner with Schweitzer On the grass with our plates on our knees But I refuse to eat a bite, sir With a pack of cackling biddies Or a bunch of blithering idiots like these! Week after week, year after year, What do I hate? What do I hear? "Mr. Whiteside, have some bourbon! My ol' daddy made it right here on the ranch!" "Howdy doody, Mr. Whiteside! How'd you like to meet my darlin' daugher Blanche?" (spoken) I wouldn't like that at all. Perhaps something in a smaller size. (sung) Why does the whole damn world revere me? I'm sick and tired of letting them worship at my shrine It's such a bore when morons cheer me I've almost reached a point Where I wish I were a little bit less divine The simple facts are so clear and revealing That I'm finally forced to agree I must be pretty damned appealing To inspire the clamorous masses To behave like amorous asses over me! But must I hear their rude refrain Filling my head, filling my brain: "Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Whiteside, Tell us how much gin and how much dry vermouth" "Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Whiteside, Make us cultured, make us clever, make us couth!" "Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Whiteside, Won't you share the secret of your sorcery?" Gentle readers, here's my secret In one magic word: Humility! [Thanks to John for lyrics]
