two nobodies in new york - jeff bowen lyrics
[jeff]
what if this dialog were set to music?
what if what we’re saying could be said in a song?
[hunter]
hey, that’s not a bad idea perhaps we could use it
music in a musical, how can we go wrong?
[both]
we could
ask significant questions
we could
get important points across
like?
[hunter]
are we writing for art
[jeff]
and is art a springboard for fame
[hunter]
and will fame get folks to trust us
[both]
but will they trust us
if it’s just us
me and you
two n-bodies in new york
[hunter]
hey, i think it’s working we’re discovering choices
lots of things to think about when writing a show
[jeff]
yeah, creating a vehicle to showcase our voices
and i don’t mean our vocal cords, i mean what’s below
[hunter]
uh-huh
[both]
we could
ask significant questions
we could
get important points across
like?
[hunter]
are we writing for art
[jeff]
and is art a springboard for fame
[hunter]
and will fame get us a paycheck
[both]
but will a paycheck mean that we’re sellouts
and if we sell out
will they yell out
me and you
two n-bodies in new york
[hunter, spoken]
key change!
[jeff]
maybe someday our show will get a theater
and if not this festival then somewhere out west
[hunter]
tv actors in our show, what could be better?
[jeff, spoken/hunter]
sweeter/ we could-
[hunter, spoken]
what?
[jeff, spoken]
sweeter, we’ve been over this. you know the lyric is sweeter
[hunter, spoken]
but here’s the deal. one of them sounds like it’s two syllables
and the other sounds like it’s three syllables, so it’s
like: sweeter, the-ater. does that rhyme?
[jeff, spoken]
yes. sorry, larry, from the key change. a-five, six, seven, eight!
(sung)
maybe someday our show will get a theater
and if not this festival then somewhere out west
[hunter]
tv actors in our show, what could be swee-ater?
[jeff, spoken]
thanks. great
(sung)
we could get that woman who was on empty nest
[hunter]
dinah manoff, she’s awesome!
[jeff]
yeah
[hunter]
she was in grease
[jeff]
yeah!
[both]
and leader of the pack!
we could
ask significant questions
we could
get important points across
like are we writing for art
and is art a springboard for fame
and will fame get us a sitcom
and will a sitcom get us on ellen
and will ellen get folks to like us
and if they like us
will they mike us
me and you
two n-bodies in new york
n-bodies in new york!
