original broadway cast of caroline, or change - aftermath lyrics

[the dryer]
ooh…

[rose]
h+llo, i’m back!
back from shopping
caroline? noah? is anyone home?

noah, go help grandpa with the groceries
where’s caroline, darling?

[noah]
caroline left

[rose]
she left?

[noah]
yes

[rose]
why, is anything wrong?

[noah]
no, she just left
[rose]
with the laundry still on?

[the dryer]
ooh…

[rose]
noah, is there something you aren’t telling me?

[noah]
and the next day, day, day
caroline stayed away, way, way
and she didn’t come back, back, back
and she didn’t come back, back, back

and the next day, day, day
caroline stayed away, way, way
and she didn’t come back, back, back
and she didn’t come back, back, back

on the third day, day, day
carolinе stayed away, way, way
and she didn’t come back, back, back
and shе didn’t come back, back, back

[rose]
stuart, i’m worried
she left in a hurry
i called her at home
she won’t come to the phone
her kids say she’s out
but i have my doubts
i think she’s there
this isn’t like her
stuart!
[stuart]
maybe she’s ill

[rose]
and look
in the bleach cup
a twenty dollar bill

[rose and stuart]
noah, please
no monkey biz
tell us whose twenty this is

[stuart]
noah?

[rose]
did caroline find this money in your pants?

[mr. stopnick]
no, rose
i think the twenty’s mine
i thought i’d lost it
now everything’s fine

[noah]
and the fourth day, day, day
caroline stayed away, way, way
and she didn’t come back, back, back
and she didn’t come back, back, back
i did it
i k!lled her
i did it
she died
[rose, on the phone]
dotty?
rose gellman
is caroline+ oh
well, why didn’t she call and tell me so?
i’m glad she’s fine but
i’ve been worried a lot
i couldn’t imagine
for five days off and not+
well, if she needed time off
if it’s family stuff
and things around here have been sort of tough
well, not tough, more like tense
but it doesn’t make sense
to just up and vanish
without an adieu
i thought maybe she’d gotten the spanish flu
tell her to call
that’s all that i ask
i won’t take her to task
just tell me what’s what
i worry a lot
thanks, dotty, you’re swell

[rose]
you can all go to h+ll!
i’m not the enemy

[mr. stopnick]
no, you’re the boss

[rose]
oh, shut up, papa
forget it, her loss

[stuart]
i have to go to practice

[rose]
great, thanks a lot, stu

[stuart]
no, really, i do

[mr. stopnick]
what else is new?
here’s how i see it

[rose]
i didn’t ask

[mr. stopnick]
nonetheless
you want that boy to love you

[rose]
i guess, yes, of course
and i’ve tried
at bedtime he’ll only let stu tuck him in
if i try to do it+
well, somehow, i blew it

[mr. stopnick]
his mother is dead

[rose]
forget it!

[mr. stopnick]
and everything’s wrong

[rose]
no win

[mr. stopnick]
then you marry his father
but you don’t belong

[rose]
but how he misses caroline
caroline

[mr. stopnick]
given the givens
she’s in perfect position
for the boy to adore her
she’s competition

[rose]
competition?
oh, yes, and i meant to destroy the silly attachment
of that little boy for the maid
oh, i’m the oppressor, right?
i’m the employer

[mr. stopnick]
i don’t mean you consciously planned
to destroy her in noah’s affections

[rose]
okay, fine

[mr. stopnick]
well, not by design
but maybe you had to
one way or another
it’s hard, but not mean
you got in between
maybe, rosie
now you can be his mother

[rose]
it figures you figure in three seconds flat
how to make me the villain

[mr. stopnick]
i didn’t say that

[rose]
i’m glad you came down
now go home, keep in touch
you’ve made me feel awful, thanks ever so much
and while you were giving me this third degree
perhaps you neglected to notice that he
still won’t let me near him
so i failed

[mr. stopnick]
wait and see

[rose]
just stop it, papa
stop picking a fight

[mr. stopnick]
i didn’t mean to upset you, rosie
honor bright

[rose]
i’m not the boss
her loss
leave it be
and let it end
it’s just no way to treat
a friend
