I Can Do Without You from Calamity Jane (1953)

- The courting dance of the Wild West, starring the defiant Calamity Jane (Doris Day), the exasperated Wild Bill Hickok (Howard Keel), and the on-looking Henry Miller (Paul Harvey).
After Miller, owner of the theatre hall the Golden Garter, tried to pass off a male actor as a female singer (oh, the hilarity!), Calamity tried to save him from his very angry patrons by promising the visit of Adelaide Adams, star of the Chicago stage and the fantasy of all the men in Deadwood. Driven by the need to help out her dear friend, she had blurted out the only name she knew, not realizing the improbability of her statement. This scene starts with Miller, Calamity, and Wild Bill trying to decide what to do, and ends with a most entertaining display of anger and passion, performed through Kerr and Day's graceful slap-stick comedy.
Lyrics:
[Calamity:]
In the Summer... you're the Winter
In the finger... you're the splinter
In the banquet, you're the stew.
Say! I could do without you!
[Wild Bill:]
In the garden, you're the gopher,
In the Levi's you're the loafer,
Like an overturned canoe...
Well, I could do without you!
[Calamity:]
You can go to... Philadelphia
Take a hack to Hackensack.
Hey!! I'll never RING a BELL fer ya!
Or yell fer yer to come back!!
[Wild Bill:]
In the question, you're the why
In the ointment, you're the FLY!!
[Calamity:]
Though I know some things are indispensable...
Like a buck or two,
If there's one thing I can do without,
I can do without you!
[Wild Bill:]
In the barrel, you're a pickle
In the goldmine, you're a nickel
You're the tack inside my shoe.
Yes!! I can do without you!
[Calamity:]
In my bosom, you're a dagger
You're a mangy carpet-bagger!
In the theatre you're the 'boo'!
I can do without you.
[Wild Bill:]
You got charms, they ain't bewitchin' me!!
You've a face no one would paint!
[Calamity:]
I got the darndest itch in me!!
To be wherever you ain't!
[Wild Bill:]
In the bullfrog, you're the croak.
[Calamity:]
In the forest, poison oak!
[Wild Bill:]
Though I know some things are necessary
My half-pint buckaroo,
If there's one thing I can do without,
I can do without.....
[Calamity:]
You're a knothead!
[Wild Bill:]
You're a faker!
[Calamity:]
You're a bonehead!
[Wild Bill:]
Troublemaker!
[Both:] I can do without you!

"In my bosom, you're a dagger.
You're a mangy carpet bagger!" Ah, they don't write them like that anymore.
Pure gold!
In the Levi's you're the loafer! Classic
Of all the ladies playing opposite of Howard Keel, Doris Day holds her own and matches his energy.
Perfect couple.
Ever since I was little I wanted to be Calamity Jane, and my first crush was Howard Keel!! Partly because of this film and then Seven Brides too. Nothing beats these classic musicals for me
I quite agree Howard keel was gorgeous
Same..of the years x)
+cozdahunni my favourite movies!
The
Me too, for the same movies also
My favorite movie as a kid. My mom had to rewind it so many times for me as a kid. I can sing every song by heart:)
Same here! I grew up on this movie and I can sing all the songs! ❤
Mine too the good ole days
Same here ❤❤❤
Just a brilliant film.
me too!
Anyone else had a crush when they were younger on bill?😅
Jellybean123789 What do you mean when they were younger? I first watched this film when I was 6... I'm 17 and still crushing on him xD
Crush? I'm sixty-five and he still makes my heart flutter!
He was soo sexy! His eyes, his smile, his build, his voice😍😍😍. Be still my beating heart💓💓
Not bill more Doris.❤️
Absolutely haha. Plus I loved their friendship! ❤️
ANYONE CAN PLAINLY SEE THAT DEEP DOWN CALAMITY AND HICOCK WERE IN LOVE, AND WENT THEY WENT TO THE BALL, EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE!! LOVE WAS BURSTING BETWEEN THOSE TWO!!!
YAS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO WATCHED IT AND KNEW! WE R THE CALAMITY JANE LOVING PEOPLE
Yea so good and Katie felt bad for her they got together then they were happy 😃
It's amazing how easily he picks her up and places her onto the counter.
That's my favorite part!
Well he is like a giant compared to her! XD xxxx
And she's not small, she's 5'7
@@impassable she was smaller than that... even so 5'7 is small..I'm a woman I'm 5'9... he looks over 6 foot x
@@houndsofroses3727 A quick search tells me he was 6'3
you can here that they are really singing, there is no play back, thats talent
RIP beautiful lady, thank you so much for your wonderful talent💖
Love Doris Day ..R.i.p
One of my favourite films and the best thing about this song is that it's a single shot and not dubbed post-filming so it's like watching them perform live! and performed perfectly at that.
I ADORED Howard Keel in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'. His voice is SOOO GORGEOUS and POWERFUL!!! I liked him Calamity Jane, too. I think they both got in touch with their sides that pick on each other!
Goodbye Doris. My favourite movie, can't stop watching it again and again . Great music, great story, great talent. And...no…."I can't do without you."
Ditto again and again.
Howard Keels voice is like velvet 😍
Yes, I agree.
“Sure, why don’t I send for the Queen of Sheba?”
“No good, they want Adelaide!”
Lol! I love Doris Day so much; she was one of the few actresses I know of who could do comedy and serious stuff, glamorous and dressed down, and could sing brilliantly into the bargain!
" My half pint buckaroo", a cute Nick name for Calamity Jane.
I No she is freaking cute and she is calamity Jane
I
One of the few times in film history that a song was sung and recorded live on the set!
One of all time favorite films. I love the beautiful Doris Day. I love the sound tract. And with Howard Keel as Bill Hickok it made a wonderful musical movie.
My first movie star crush was the first time I saw Doris Day in Calamity Jane. I recorded the sound track straight from the TV and you can imagine how poor it was, but I loved all the songs. She's a great classy and beautiful woman who as far as I know still lives in Santa Barbara with her dogs. I believe she's about 90 now.
+Jim Imes how old was she in this.shes similar to Tommy steel in some of these numbers
I love her expressions every time he had a hold of her. LOL!! This song had my sides splitting.
Yes. You can hear her voice drop when she comes over the counter. She also did the same thing in Pajama Game while singing Hey There. She is a pro!
I love the way he picks her up and puts her on the counter and he has his hand on her waist
What an absolutely magnificent woman, I loved all her films and songs. Brilliant and missed.
Ditto
Omg! I have such a crush on him. Even after 45 years of watching him.
Meanwhile the other guy is still sitting at the table, just awkwardly twiddling his thumbs
Great song sung by two great actors/singers!
One of my favourite musicals . Calamity Jane . Never get tired of watchin this film. Love the song . She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and Howard keep was handsome with a great voice
When this first came out on video, I watched it almost daily and know the entire thing off by heart, line for line.
I have it on DVD and something today made me think of this song...think I'll dig it out on and watch it on what promises to be a very wet and windy Sunday in the UK tomorrow!
I love their facial expressions haha. Calamity's facial expression at 1:43 and how Bill reacts to her jumping up at 1:53. It makes me laugh when I see Calamity looking at Bill at 2:17. Their facial expressions really make the scene seem like they are true reactions.
I grew up watching this movie over and over as a little girl, and didn't know Doris Day in any other role until a couple years ago! So it was a real shock seeing Doris Day in Pillow Talk!
No one will ever forget you, Doris.
I can watch this sequence all day and never tire of it. From the standpoint of the frustrated lyricist that I am, I think this song is a lyrical marvel. Love it when she sings, "You can go ... Philadelphia..."
I think I have to Hackensack
I'll never ring a bell for ya or yell for ya or yell for ya too come back ()
😀😀😘😀😀
I'll never ring a bell for ya or yell for ya or yell for ya too come back
@@CynthiaPollack-on4us You're right, after she sings, "You can go to ... Philadelphia," then she sings, "Take a hack to Hackensack."
Oh man i loved this musical as a kid and still one of my favorites!! Who didnt want to be calamity jane as a kid lol 💖
Howard Keel was bloody gorgeous! Great film x
I have always been in love with Bill, he was such a looker
Isn't Doris Day just amazing!
It's such a shame movie stars don't come like this anymore, nor do they make movies like this anymore.
I just turned 18 and my old soul still loves Doris Day movies. This one was the one that captured my heart and kept it. My great grandma loves Midnight Lace. This song funnily was Anything You Can Do before it was!
But we can't do without her! She's one of our greatest artists still alive, more than a hundred years she is, BRAVO! The greatest ever still alive, we say THANKS to yu, Calam! Merci beaucoup! Emmanuel from Paris
Considering how Calamity is the sort who takes no crap from anybody, while blowing her own horn just as loud as possible, I'd say this scene says more about Bill's character than hers: he's the only person who can match her shot for shot and won't take any of HER crap.
That's why I love that song so
My favorite Doris Day movie ever!
I wonder how many cliches the brilliant writers had to come up with in order to write this wonderful number. It's just a totally magnificent use of word play throughout. Gives me goose bumps to think of the effort and imagination that went into it.
"I got the darnd-est itch in me, to be wherever you ain't?
WHO would have thought of that??
I've never been much for musicals, but this is my all-time favorite!
I have love Calamity Jane since i was little Howard Keel and Doris Day are superb!!!
I just love Howard keel , his voice those looks .. sooo dreamy 🥰😍
This number was recorded live--that is, they were not lip synching to a soundtrack as was usually done in a musicals. Makes the scene even more fun.
This has got to be my favorite musical, and Bill and Jane's romance is so wonderful
Rest in peace Doris. ❤
65 years later and it's still awesome xx
1:35 is brilliant the way she says 'I can do without you!' and then gets picked up like she weighs nothing
BUT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER REALLLY
not in real life they didnt
Adam Perrine Uhh, what?
in real life they were friends not lovers
Adam Perrine I don't think anyone said or thought they did in real life..
+AnimeAndRock That's the irony of this song, really; they say they can do without each other but in the end they find they can't.
Born the same year as Garland. Sadly Judy died 50 years ago in 1969 at just 47.Both achieved GLITTERING careers.
This is the film from my childhood. I love it so much
RIP Beautiful Classy lady.. my absolute idol xxx
I love this classic and fun song from the 1953 classic movie Calamity Jane! I was born in 1978. I own this videotape, Laser Disc, DVD, and Blue Ray. Thank you for posting and sharing this. This is movie magic!
Doris is fantastic what a talented lady!!
I know I'll just repeat some comments from here but I just have to say it - I love that movie and that song!!!! Doris Day being so tiny and Howard Keel so big - they look great together! And it's soooo funny!
In mos numbers in musical movies the performers sing to a pre-recorded playback, but this was obviously recorded on the set! Love it.
I love it when they're huffing back to back then he just looks as her and goes "Nyeeaaahh >:("
:'D it's so funny
I'd love a 'friendship' like this :') I just wish my whole life was like a musical :'D I need to get a life one day soon!!
Such a classic. I'm so glad I was raised on musicals and old movies.
Howard Keel has such a great voice, i fell in love with musicals because of hearing him. I wish there were more guys like that nowadays.
all the songs on this movie are straight FIRE!!!! love this movie!
What can we say about Doris Day a lovely lady a great singer a wonderful voice just so natural love all over this world!!!!
I'm 17 and I love this movie soooooooooooooooo much. I grew up with it cuz my mum loves it. It's one of my all time fav movies. I love all Doris Day movies :) this song is so funny
one of my favorite classic musicals of all time
Love the faces she pulls....she's a riot!
I love this song it's my FAVOUITE EVER EVER.....

X^D
Remember being in love with Doris in this film as a kid, still am in a way❤
Rip Doris Day. :-( a great actress and singer.
i always laugh when he pushes her off the counter this movie is a classic
Howard Keel was so gorgeous!
I'm 17 and I absolutely, positively love this soooo much! Ever since I first saw it I was 12 or 11...
Class film. Class actors. Class music and singing. They sure don't make em this good anymore.
❤❤😂😂 it ! Howard Keel had such a beautiful baritone voice!❤
I love, love Calamity Jane. If ever I lived a past life, I would have been Calamity. Back in the day when the movie of the week played all 5 days, well, I drove my little bro crazy watchin'. Thnx for uploading my friend!
Love this song, watched the movie again last night
I think they like each other! :D
Marcus Head they are just like 2 kids in elementary xD
When I'm doing chores this is my favorite tune to him, sing, and whistle. I hope that sometime soon I can meet Doris Day. She is my most favorite actress of all time! Especially in this movie! Yay!
when you get these catchy songs in your head, you can't get them out!
Well you better hurry lol she's in her 90s xD
Love when he pushed her behind the bar, always makes me laugh because of how quickly she comes back up 😅
Wow how wonderful this movie Thank you for sharing I loved it I wish I could see the whole movie PLEASE PLEASE ❤❤❤👏👏👏
Doris Day and Howard Keele must’ve had great fun doing this song
fantastic actor and actress!
These two... now they have talent. Guys don't sing like this nowadays. It's a shame. Howard Keel - great voice and blooming gorgeous.
I have always loved Doris Day she made some wonderful movies .... Calamity Jane was the best.... she said some nice songs out too It's just sad what happened to her son on Charles Manson's end.......RIP. this is November 2022 and I will still watch this movie when it comes on
This is still one of my favorie movies ❤
This was one of my favorite Doris Day movies. I love the floor they are walking on. It has been in every MGM movie (all filmed on the same sound stage). The floor was used in Gone With The Wind, and other great movies during the peak of movies by MGM. I don't know if it still exist but every time I see a movie and I see the floor, there it is!
I wasn't going to watch this movie but then I decided to, I almost missed out on one great movie!
I love this song! So much musical even better!
My granddaughter 22! Mths loves this, claps and has an encore. 😂
I love them both. I've been meaning to watch this film when its on, but I always miss it. Doris Day is adorable. And Howard Keel is smexy.
I Love This Part!! And The Whole Movie!!!
the best musical ever
I wasn’t born when this film was made but Doris day is a wonderful actress and a beautiful singer and Howard keel handsome
ive got lots of howard keel favorites, but this one is my most favorite!!! he did such an amazing job alongside doris day!!
If anyone here is a Throne of Glass Novels fan, Calam and Bill remind me of Aelin and Rowan in Heir of Fire...
That being said absolutely LOVED this film! RIP Ms. Day
Is still my all time favourite movie. I loved Howard Keel
its so funny. this film is such a string of irony. i mean the fact that bill and calam treat each other the way they do, it didnt suprise me a bit that they ended up together in the end. i think that they really did love each other the entire thime, but neither of them wanted to admit it!!!!
Love this film sòòoooooooooo much
Will never be forgotten Doris Day. X
Exactly what my mother did for me when I was around that age (might've been even younger, haha!)
Trust me, she'll thank you for it.
I'm so pleased I know a classic like this. Even now as a teen it's an all-time, timeless favourite.
:)
yes me howard keel was gorgeous in this film
Now I know where my obsession with the "best friends that fight like an old married couple" trope comes from 😂
Thanks -- this is so much fun !!
Love this movie - she's so cute !!
Thanks for posting !
Great song and the performance funny. It made me laugh.
