[joe]
so we’ll do a new show
so you’ll meet a new dame
so you’ll take some time
for personal pleasure

[charley]
there gotta be endings
or there wouldn’t be beginnings…
right?

[friend 1]
you got talent to blow
and you’re making a name
and that song you wrote’s
a national treasure

[friend 2 & 3]
you’re looking at losses
when you should be counting winnings…
right?

[charley]
best thing that ever could have happened

[frank]
right

[friend 4]
so you’ll get a new flat
and you’ll have a few flings
start a whole new life
and learn to adore it

[woman 1]
if you want to have weddings
then you gotta have divorces…
no?

[woman 2]
though it’s sad and all that
you get over these things
and you come out
somehow better for it

[friend 2]
just because you change horses
doesn’t mean you’re changing courses

[charley & women]
right!
[group 1]
best thing that ever could have happened
i say best thing that ever could have happened
best thing that ever could have happened [group 2]
one more thing not to think about
it was all getting much to complicated

[frank, spoken]
right.

[mary]
all right, now you know
life is crummy
well, now you know

okay, big surprise
people love you and tell you lies
bricks can fall out of clear blue skies
put your dimple down
now you know

okay, there you go
learn to live with it
now you know

it’s called flower’s wilt
it’s called apple’s rot
it’s called thieves get rich
and saints get shot
it’s called god don’t answer prayers a lot
okay, now you know

okay, now you know
now forget it—
don’t fall apart at the seams
it’s called letting go your illusions
and don’t confuse them with dreams

yes sir, quite a blow
don’t regret it
and don’t let’s go to extremes

it’s called what’s your choice?
it’s called count to ten
it’s called burn your bridges, start again
you should burn them every now and then
or you’ll never grow

because now you grow
that’s the k!ller, is
now you grow

you’re right, nothing’s fair and it’s all a plot
and tomorrow doesn’t look so hot
right, you better look at what you’ve got
over here, h-llo?
okay, now you know

right?

[woman 1]
it’s a month at most

[charley]
sure, you’ll spin a few wheels

[friend 4]
but you don’t look back

[woman 2]
just leave all the pieces

[company]
when you haven’t got one choice
might as well enjoy the other
right?

[woman 3]
you’ll come out to the coast

[friend 2]
we can set a few deals
and i’m talking strictly major releases

[company]
an exit from one place
is an entrance to another
right!
[charley]
best thing that ever could have

happened [mary]
i mean, socks have holes
i mean, roads have b-mps
they make meatheads champs
and nice guys chumps

i mean, even cream of wheat has lumps

[company]
best thing that ever could have happened
it was all getting much to complicated anyhow
best thing that ever could have happened

[frank]
right, we’ll do a new show!
no, we’ll do a whole batch!
when it’s over with, i’ll cut the connection!
you gotta have endings
or there wouldn’t be beginnings!

[all]
right!

[charley]
when you’re flattened this low
and you’re starting from scratch
you can only go in one direction

[charley & mary]
the side is retired
but there still are lots of innings

[all]
right!
[group 1]
best thing that ever could have happened
best thing that ever could have happened
i say, best thing that ever could have happened
i say, best thing that ever could have happened
it’s your time
your time [group 2]

yesterday is done
see the pretty countryside
soon enough you’re merrily, merrily
rolling along
rolling along [group 3]

you’re beginning again, got another clean slate
got a whole new life, you’ll learn to adore it
it’s your time
it’s your time

[company]
what’s your choice?
count to ten
burn your bridges
start again
you should burn them every now and then
or you’ll never grow
because now you grow
that’s the k!ller, is
now you grow

[mary]
you’re right, nothing’s fair
and it’s all a plot
and tomorrow doesn’t look so hot

[comapny]
right, you better look at what you’ve got!
over here, h-llo?
over here, h-llo?
over here, h-llo?!
[women]
now you know
now you know
now you know
now you know
now you know
now you know
now you know
now you know [men]
…right!
…right!
…right!
…right!
…right!
…right!
…right!
…right!

[all]
right, right, right, right
right, right, right, right
now you know!
