john lithgow - for susan lyrics

Loading...

[j.j., spoken]
susie, get the box
look at this stuff, sidney

(singing)

sheet music signed by berlin and by kern
for susan
bogies and buckets of love from lucerne
for susan
here’s a lucky star signed by fdr
groucho’s three dollar bill
paw prints from lassie and stills from demille
for susan

‘round and around in a dress like snow white
goes susan
waltzing with me on an opening night
is susan
i have watched her bloom in this very room
all her nights, all her days
every report card, a column of a’s
for susan

floating like some little angel
bringing c+cktails on her tray
she’d appear than float… away
“happy sixteenth” from the chief of police
for susan
scrawled on a napkin, the work of matisse
for susan
this one’s fred astaire, “for my lady fair
and my best little chum”
here in our haven, the whole world has come
to susan

[sidney, spoken]
i was… just on my way to your office with some items

[j.j., spoken]
aah, give ‘em here
i’ll phone ‘em in

[sidney, spoken]
laurence olivier
oak room at the plaza
won’t go to las angeles
“la is always three hours behind the time”

[j.j., spoken]
in

[sidney, spoken]
a piano player down in philly
item reads “the richter scale has been sent
in philadelphia, off the charts
thanks to an earthquake maker
named dallas cochran”
[j.j., spoken]
in
see ya’ later, sidney

[susan, spoken]
goodnight j.j

[j.j., spoken]
no+n+no, don’t go
keep me company
dance with me

(singing)

ever so sweetly the orchestra plays
for susan
everyone present has nothing but praise
for susan
make your wish of me; i will grant you three
while i ask only one
just let me do as i always have done
for susan

(spoken)

h+llo, young lady
[susan, spoken]
h+llo mr. hunsucker

[j.j., spoken]
what wish can i grant?

[susan, spoken]
oh, mr. hunsucker
to be in your call only

[j.j., spoken]
you will be!
you will be!

(singing)

may you ever be in this waltz with me
making wishes come true

[susan, spoken]
j.j.!

[j.j., spoken]
what is it?

[susan, spoken]
i’m not a little girl anymore!

[j.j., spoken]
everybody wants me except you!

[susan, spoken]
goodnight, j.j

[j.j., spoken]
good luck on your audition

(singing)

there’s someone
i know it
i see it in her eyes
there’s someone
someone has changed her
someone all wrong for susan
there’s someone, some schoolboy
some pup with a degree
some actor
some budding brando
mumbling his lines for susan

go to your audition
live your little life
make a little misstep
and end up the wife of some…
nothing of a no one, some…
actor in a play going nowhere
no one! no one! nowhere!
keep your little secrets
close your little door
have your little boyfriend
some clown of the chorus
some chauffeur of a limo
some gopher at the paper
there’s someone!
i smell it!

but sidney
he’d tell me
sidney would tell me
if someone was angering for susan
for susan

(spoken)

madge, warm up the typewriter
i’ve got a fist full of items
