something just broke - sondheim on sondheim company lyrics

[housewife]
i was out
in the yard
taking down the bed sheets
when my neighbor yelled across:
i remember where i was
just exactly where i was
in the yard out back—

[office clerk]
i was getting me a shoeshine—

[housewife]
—folding sheets—

[clerk]
—when i heard—

[couple]
we were waiting for a carriage—

[clerk]
—newsboys—

[couple]
suddenly there’s shouting in the street—
[housewife]
—lizzie’s sheets…

[voice, spoken]
“the president’s been shot.”

[clerk]
i’ll remember it forever—

[housewife]
…and i thought:

[clerk]
—where i was, what i was doing—

[housewife]
something just broke

[voice, spoken]
“the president’s been shot.”

[clerk]
my god—!

[housewife]
something just broke
[stockbrocker]
i was down at the exchange…

[housewife]
something just made a little dent

[lady]
i’d been shopping…

[old man]
i’d been sick…

[housewife]
something just broke—

[p*wnbroker]
all i know, it was a friday…

[housewife]
—only for a moment

[others]
i remember it exactly…

[housewife]
something got bent
[waitress]
i’m taking the order—

[housewife]
something just left a little mark

[schoolboy]
i was getting dressed…

[waitress]
—two potato soups…

[housewife]
something just stirred

[various]
and i thought—
and i thought to myself—

[woman 1]
something just woke

[various]
and i thought—
i kept thinking

[all]
something just spoke
something i wish i hadn’t heard
something bewildering occurred
fix it up fast
please—
’til it’s just smoke
’til it’s only something just passed
nothing that will last

[various]
where i was, what i was doing

[all]
nothing but the moment
just an awful moment
but—
something just broke
something just broke
something just—

[stephen sondheim, spoken]
the show that’s closest to exactly what the book writer and i wanted, i’d say is assassins. every time i see it i can’t think of ways to improve it. and i can’t say that about any other show.
