The Sondheim Lyrics Chain

[AmyG]

Back in business and ain't it grand?
Let the good times roll
Yesterday things were out of hand
Now they're under control

[MartinG]

I'm calm, I'm calm,
I'm perfectly calm,
I'm utterly under control.
I haven't a worry,
Where others would hurry I stroll.
I'm calm, I'm cool,
A gibbering fool
Is something I never become.
When thunder is rumbling
And others are crumbling,
I hum.

[Bobster]

I am the princess, guarded by dragons
Snorting and grumbling and rumbling in wagons...
She's in her kingdom, wearing disguises, leading a life that is full of surprises...
And sometime this summer, she'll come galloping

[Chris L]

"The girls of summer get burned
They start the summer unconcerned
They get undone by a touch of sun in June
Plus a touch of the moon"

[KathyB]

Careful, here's the home of
Beautiful girls,
Where your reason is undone
Beauty can't be hindered
From taking its toll
You may lose control
Faced with these Loreleis,
What man can moralize?

[MartinG]

Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window
But to see
It's the only way to see...

And when the woman that you wanted goes
You can say to yourself, "Well, I give what I give..."

[Bobster]

You wanted people out strolling on Sunday...
Sorry, Marie.

See George remember how George used to be
Stretching his vision in every direction
See George attempting to see a connection
When all he can see
Is maybe a tree
"The family tree"...
Sorry, Marie.

[MartinG]

I know, Honey, you don't agree
But this is our family tree
Just wait 'til we're there, and you'll see
Listen to me

[valmont]

Honey, I'll take the grand,
Sugar you keep the spinet
And all of our friends and
Just wait a goddamn minute!

[MartinG]

Gold dust
Glittering and littering the goddamn ground!

...You and me against the world, Addie,
You an me against the world!
You and me together,
Weathering the weather,
Fording the crevasses--

...Freezing off our asses--

...We'll never make our fortune
Just by sitting on the porch 'n'
Looking wistful,
When there are nuggets by the fistful...

...Nuggets by the fistful!
Time to leave the nest.

...Time to venture forth,
Can't go further west,
Might as well go north...

[KathyB]

Most honorable Judge Turpin...

Honorable...

Honorable...

I venture thus to write you this
Urgent
Note to warn you
That the hot-blooded
Young sailor
Has abducted your ward, Johanna...

[Leighton]

Pretty lady with a flower
Give a lonely sailor half an hour
Pretty lady can you understand a word I say?
Don't go away

[MartinG]

I could understand a person
If a person was a fag.
But worse than that,
A person that
Titillates a person and leaves her flat
Is crazy...

[valmont]

Point of order. Is this kosher? The actual lyric is "But worse 'n that".

[Bobster]

I agree.  Judges?
