The Sondheim Lyrics Chain

[KathyB]

Those good and crazy people, my married friends,
And that's what it's all about, isn't it?

(Yes, I meant to put the question mark in bold.)

[MartinG]

This is nice, isn't it? 
I mean, the band.
Don't you think 
We make natural partners?

[Chris L]

Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?

[MartinG]

Down here, fire and gloom...

Up there, not a lot of fun.

[KathyB]

Friday nights for a bit of fun,
We'll go dancing...
Meanwhile...

[MartinG]

I can't hear a waltz
Oh my lord, there it goes again
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can't they hear the beat?
Magical, mystical, miracle...

[Leighton]

Maybe they're really magic
Who knows?
Why you do
What you do
That's the point:
All the rest of it 
Is chatter

[valmont]

Giggling, wriggling out of our tights
Chattering and clattering down all of those flights
God, I'd forgotten there ever were nights
Of waiting for the boys
Downstairs.

[MartinG]

- The soldiers have forgotten us
- The boatman schwitzes
- I am completely out of proportion
- These helmets weigh a lot on us
- This tree is blocking my view

[Leighton]

It's our head on the block
Give us room and start the clock
Our time coming through
Me and you, pal
Me and you!
Me and you!

[valmont]

But it's six o'clock
So it's six o'clock
It was due to arrive
At a quarter to five
And it's probably already 
Down the block
It'll be here
It'll be here 
Have a beaker of beer 
And stop worrying dear

[scenicdesign71]

Stop worrying where you're going—
Move on.
If you can know where you're going,
You've gone.

[KathyB]

Today was perfectly perfect, you say,
Well, don't go away,
Cause if you think you liked today,
You're gonna love tomorrow,
Mm-hmm,
You stick around and see

[scenicdesign71]

...And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick or the dog or the light;
How the kind of woman willing to wait-
'S not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night...

[Chris L]

Waiting around for the girls upstairs
After the curtain came down
Money in my pocket to spend
"Honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend!"
