intermission talk - me and juliet ensemble lyrics

Loading...

[herbie]
lemonade! freshly made!
a bottle of ice cold coke!

[bored patron]
i love to go to a theatre lounge
to enjoy a noisy smoke

[herbie]
lemonade! freshly made!

[starry*eyed girl]
i simply adore the show

[bored patron]
i wouldn’t wait for the second act
if i had some place to go

[music lover, spoken]
i like the one that goes

[music lover]
da*dee*da*dum
da*dee*da*dum
da*dee*da*dum
marriage type love
[wife, to husband]
i don’t think it’s right to be sulky all night
over one little bill from saks!

[businessman]
what do i care if they balance the budget
as long as they cut my tax?

[music lover, spoken]
i like the one that goes

[music lover]
no other love have i
hurry back home tonight
it’s me, it’s me, it’s me

[her companion]
that doesn’t sound quite right

[girl]
the fellow beside me keeps dropping his program
and groping around my feet

[bored patron]
the couple behind me had garlic for dinner
would you like to trade your seat?
[girl]
i think the production is fine
the music is simply divine
the story is lovely and g*y
but it just isn’t my kind of play

[happy mourners]
they don’t write music any more
like the old vienna valses
the guy today who writes a score
doesn’t know what schmaltz is
the plots are all too serious
no longer sweet and g*y
the authors who think
certainly stink
the theatre is fading away

oh, the theatre is dying
the theatre is dying
the theatre is practically dead
someone every day writes
“we have no more playwrights
the theatre is sick in the head”

some singer of dirges
gets earnest and urges
the public to have a good cry
[herbie]
but the show still goes on
the theatre’s not gone

[happy mourners]
we wish it would lie down and die
why in h*ll won’t it lie down and die?

[starry*eyed girl]
i thought that i’d laugh myself silly
on the evening i spent with bea lillie

[businessman]
i sure had to hassle and hustle
buying tickets for rosalind russell

[adele]
i just had a picnic at “picnic”
and loved everyone in the cast

[happy mourners]
your talk is absurd
why, haven’t you heard?
the theatre’s a thing of the past, tra*la
the theatre’s a thing of the past

[starry*eyed girl]
my love for my husband grew thinner
the first time i looked at yul brynner
and back in my bed on long island
i kept dreaming of brynner in thailand

[first businessman]
i love shirley booth and tom ewell

[second businessman]
“the crucible,” boy, what a play

[happy mourners]
the poor little schmoes
not one of them knows
the theatre is passing away, hey hey
the theatre is passing away

the theatre is dying, the theatre is dying
the theatre is practically dead
the ones who are backing it take a sh*llacking
and never get out of the red

[all the rest]
but actors keep acting
and plays keep attracting
and seats are not easy to buy
and year after year
there is something to cheer

[happy mourners]
we’d much rather have a good cry

[all the rest, spoken]
why the h*ll don’t you lie down and die?

[happy mourners]
the theatre

[all the rest]
is living

[happy mourners]
the theatre

[all the rest]
is living

[all]
why don’t you lie down and die?
