Independent (On My Own)
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Judy Holliday & Sydney Chaplin
I'm enjoying the delights of the solitary life
To the ties that bind I've bid goodbye
I'm the spirit of "Seventy-six" complete with drum and fife
Since my personal Fourth of July
Independent, self sufficient, got nobody to rely on
Independent, self reliant, got shoulder I can cry on
Now I'm livin', I'm on my own
Going it alone
I don't need anyone
And no one needs me
No need for anyone to help me mix martinis
Roast the wienies, bake the blinis, now that I'm free
Self sufficient, self supporting, trav'lin' light and flying solo
Ev'ry day is Independence Day
Hooray! Free and easy, blithe and breezy, going it alone
I'm independent and on my own
Independent, self sufficient, got nobody to rely on
Independent, self reliant, got shoulder I can cry on
Now I'm livin', I'm on my own
Going it alone
I don't need anyone
And no one needs me
No need for anyone to help me mix martinis
Roast the wienies, bake the blinis, now that I'm free
Self sufficient, self supporting, trav'lin' light and flying solo
Ev'ry day is Independence Day
Hooray! Free and easy, blithe and breezy, going it alone
I'm independent and on my own
