'Til Him - Mel Brooks

No one every made me feel like someone

'Til him

Life was really nothing but a glum one

'Til him

My existence bordered on the tragic

Always timid, never took a chance

Then I felt his magic

And my heart began to dance

I was always frightened, fraught with worry

'Til him

I was going nowhere in a hurry

'Til him

He filled up my empty life

Filled it to the brim

There could never ever be

Another one like him

Leo, I … I never realized … you’re a good singer

Thank you, Max. I sang it for you. I sang it because I’m your friend

You are? Gee, I’ve had a lot of relationships, but you couldn’t call any of

them «friend». But come to think of it…

(sung)

No one ever ever really knew me

'Til him

Everyone was always out to screw me

'Til him

Never met I man I ever trusted

Always dealt with shysters in the past

Now I’m well adjusted

'Cause I’ve got a friend at last

Aaaaaaaahh!

Don’t help me

(sung)

Always playing singles, never doubles

'Til him

Never had a pal to share my troubles

'Til him

He filled up my empty life

Filled it to the brim

There could never ever be

Another one… like him

Gentleman, it breaks my heart to break up such a beautiful friendship,

so I won’t. Five years at the State Penitentiary at Sing-Sing!
