Casablanca Lyrics
[Instrumental]
SAM: Boss? Boss?
RICK: Yeah?
SAM: Boss, ain't you going to bed?
RICK: Not right now
SAM: Ain't you plannin' on goin' to bed in the near future?
RICK: No
SAM: You ever going to bed?
RICK: No!
SAM: Well, I ain't sleepy, either
RICK: Good, then have a drink
SAM: No, not me, boss
RICK: Then don't have a drink
SAM: Boss, let's get out of here
RICK: No, sir. I'm waiting for a lady
SAM: Please boss, let's go. Ain't nothing but trouble for you here
RICK: She's coming back, I know she's coming back
SAM: We'll take the car and drive all night. We'll get drunk, we'll go fishing, stay away until she's gone
RICK: Shut up and go home, will you?!
SAM: No, sir, I'm staying right here
RICK: They grab Ugarte, then she walks in. Well, that's the way it goes. One in, one out. Sam?
SAM: Yes, boss?
RICK: If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?
SAM: What? My watch stopped
RICK: I bet they're asleep in New York, I bet they're asleep all over America. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world...she walks into mine. What's that you're playing?
SAM: Oh, just a little something of my own
RICK: Oh stop it, you know what I want to hear
SAM: No, I don't
RICK: You played it for her, you play it for me
SAM: I don't think I can remember...
RICK: If she can stand it, I can. Play it!
SAM: Yes, boss
SAM: Boss? Boss?
RICK: Yeah?
SAM: Boss, ain't you going to bed?
RICK: Not right now
SAM: Ain't you plannin' on goin' to bed in the near future?
RICK: No
SAM: You ever going to bed?

About
Genius Annotation
Inspired by the classic 1942 film of the same name. “Casablanca” serves both an short interlude, and the intro for “We’ll Always Have Paris”.
The track consists of the dialogue between Humphrey Bogart’s character Rick and Dooley Wilson’s character Sam. In this scene, Rick is drunk
at his bar waiting for his former lover Ilsa to possibly see him, while Sam tries to convince him to leave since seeing her could further break his heart.
Similarly, Daniel in his drunken state could be waiting to hear from his ex lover, while one of his friends is trying to persuade him to forget about her.
