lauren bacall - when you're right; you're right lyrics

Loading...

[tess, spoken]
gerald, i think my record speaks for itself. i think i can look back and safely say: i was right.

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess, spoken]
i was perfectly right.

[gerald, spoken]
right.
[tess]
my instincts were valid and strong, right?

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
when you’re right, you’re right

[gerald, spoken]
right!

[tess]
i know when i’m right
can you honestly say i was wrong?

[gerald, spoken]
right—wrong!

[tess]
i was right

[gerald, spoken]
right

[tess]
that’s right
i was perfectly right
[gerald, spoken]
right

[tess]
i was and i’ve been all along
right?

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
when you’re right, you’re right
i know when i’m right
it’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
right?

[tess & gerald]
that’s right!

[tess, spoken]
i mean, even in my personal life, i’ve always made the right decision. when i married larry i was eighteen, he was twenty, we were both journalism students in missouri and all he wantеd to be was william allen white. i had a job at a local tv station, i was only doing thе weather, but some network executive happened to see me one time. so, i knew i had to go to new york, and larry would be happier editing a newspaper in colorado or somewhere, so it was time for a break. and though we both still cared for each other, he had to go his way, i had to go mine, so the split up was not a mistake!
(sung)
now larry’s remarried and blissful out west
and i love my career, it was all for the best!
i was right!
[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
i was perfectly right

[gerald, spoken]
right.

[tess]
my instincts were valid and strong, right?

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
when you’re right, you’re right

[gerald, spoken]
right!

[tess]
i know when i’m right
it’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
right?

[tess & gerald]
that’s right!

[tess, spoken]
need we even mention my professional life? when i started doing hard news, those decisions weren’t easy, you know. i remember interviewing nassar and saying, “look, gamal, do me a favor and do not invade israel,” but no, no, he went right ahead. then there was ehrlichman and haldeman, i said, “boys, you’ve got to tell the truth!” what did they do? lies, lies, every word that they said. then alexi petrikov, the russian dancer, said he was bored of the bolshoi. i told him, “defect!” but he was too meek! now, a friend of mine just got back from moscow, says he’s frustrated, unhappy, and dancing spartacus four times a week!
(sung)
now, a braggart, i’m not

[gerald, spoken]
right

[tess]
but doesn’t it show
my margin for error’s exceedingly low?
…i was right!

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
i was perfectly right

[gerald, spoken]
right.

[tess]
my instincts were valid and strong, right?

[gerald, spoken]
that’s right!

[tess]
when you’re right, you’re right

[gerald, spoken]
right!

[tess]
i know when i’m right
it’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
right?

[tess & gerald]
that’s right!

[tess, spoken]
now we have the second rate cartoonist, my god, what’s all the uproar about? obviously, i made the right decision again. all i did was present a well+considered +n+lysis of how the funnies are trashing the arts, and it sets off this ridiculous flap! so he creates me as a character in his puerile little strip, to put klutz or whatever the h+ll that cat’s name is on the map. well, when i get that publicity+grabbing exploitive detestable little weasel in here, will i make him squirm. i bet i can tell you what he looks like, too! he’s probably a short, napoleonic, bald, fat, pudgy, pasty+faced worm!

[gerald, spoken]
yes, sir?

[sam, spoken]
sam craig to see miss harding.

[gerald, spoken]
miss harding? mr. sam craig is here.

[tess, spoken]
wonderful. please send mr. sam craig in.
(sung)
there’s only one way to treat vermin like that
i’ll show him what cats are
that beady+eyed ra—
(spoken)
mr. craig?

[sam, spoken]
now, look, miss harding—

[tess, spoken]
mr. craig. before you say anything, let me tell you something straight out:
(sung)
i was wrong
that’s right
i was totally wrong!

[gerald, spoken]
no!

[tess]
and not to confess would be small!
that’s right, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong
i know when i’m wrong
and you’re not what i pictured at all

[sam, spoken]
what?

[tess]
right, i was bad
that’s right
and i must’ve been mad
but my bark is much worse than my bite

[sam]
is that right?

[tess]
so, let’s cool it, let’s
i acknowledge my debts
i know…
can i buy you dinner tonight?

[sam]
alright

[tess]
terrific, what are we waiting for?

[gerald, spoken]
uh, miss harding, you’re not actually leaving now, are you?

[tess, spoken]
that’s right!

[gerald, spoken]
but it’s only five o’clock!

[tess, spoken]
right!

[gerald, spoken]
and you haven’t answered any of your calls yet!

[tess, spoken]
that’s right!

[gerald, spoken]
and the senator called, and cardinal cooke, and james beard, and irving lazar, and kurt waldheim

[tess, spoken]
right!

[gerald, spoken]
and you’re going without answering any of them?

[tess, spoken]
goodnight, gerald.

[gerald, spoken]
uh, mr. craig, i appeal to you, sir. you will have her back within the hour, right?

[sam, spoken]
wrong.

[gerald, spoken]
wrong?
(sung)
wrong!
