original broadway cast of curtains - coffee shop nights lyrics
[cioffi (spoken)]
detectives have no opening night, miss harris. we make out entrance when the curtain has fallen on someone else’s life
[niki (spoken)]
it isn’t wrong to be married to one’s work, is it?
[cioffi (spoken)]
no. not at all. but sometimes, it’s no honeymoon
(sung)
i love my job
i really do
and if i say so myself
i’m good at it, too
i catch the bad guys
…well, most of the time
so it’s a good life
a perfectly good life
not exactly sublime
when i’ve finished my work
and i crawl into bed
i reflect as i turn out thе lights
that the life that i lead
is a littlе bit gray
with it’s lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
[niki (spoken)]
it’s reassuring to have such a dependable schedule! like matinees every wednesday!
[cioffi (spoken)]
or brisket and broad beans each thursday+
[niki (spoken)]
+with your friends!
[cioffi (spoken)]
with uh… yeah, well, i like my pals
(sung)
the guys on the force
they’re not very social
they’re all married, of course
sometimes we go bowling
or have a few beers
so it’s a good life
a perfectly good life
i’d give it… two cheers
but sometimes i think
at the end of the day
when i’ve read the last burglar his rights
that the life that i lead
is a little bit gray
with it’s lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
[niki (spoken)]
but your acting roles, don’t they make for a change?
[cioffi (spoken)]
oh, miss harris, each year from may twenty+third to the twelfth of june when i turn my life over to the swallow street players, that’s more than a vacation for me. it’s an overture of hope, the curtain rising on the greatest joy of my life!
but the rest of the year…
(sung)
the life that i lead
that’s a little bit gray
there are plenty of low days
and not many heights
mostly lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
lunch counter mornings
and coffee shop nights
(spoken)
i don’t mean to seem forward, but might i walk you home?
[niki (spoken)]
oh, i’d be delighted! but you said we’re not allowed to leave
[cioffi (spoken)]
d+mn!
