stephen sondheim - brotherly love lyrics

Loading...

[addison, spoken]
you know what this reminds me of?

[wilson, spoken]
no…
what?

[addison]
remember when i was in bed with the mumps
and had to stay in new year’s eve?

[wilson, spoken]
frankly? no

[addison]
remember how i was so down in the dumps
when everyone started to leave?

[wilson]
jesus, it’s cold…

[addison]
are you sorry we came, willie?
you sorry we came?

[wilson, spoken]
yes! no…
go to sleep!

[addison]
at midnight with everyone down at the lake
to take in the fireworks show-

[wilson, spoken]
oh, yeah…

[addison]
i cried ’til i fell half asleep by mistake

[wilson]
and i snuck upstairs and i shook you awake

[addison]
you bundled me up in a couple of quilts
and you carried me…

[addison & wilson]
up all the way to the roof!

(wind rises.)

[addison]
and that slippery patch!

[wilson]
yeah, we nearly got k!lled!

[addison & wilson]
but we got to see everything!

[wilson]
‘member the whizbangs?

(the wind howls, drowning them out as they tumble over with each other in reminiscences, singing in pantomime. as the wind dies down:)

we had lots of good times…

(they chuckle in memory. pause.)

[addison]
we slept there ’til dawn
all wrapped up in those quilts…

[wilson]
boy, mama was madder then h-ll…

(they snicker. pause.)

[addison]
you always looked out for me, no matter what…

[wilson]
just brotherly love, brother
brotherly love
(wilson sniffs.)
jesus, i smell

[addison]
i’m not sorry i came, willie
just as long as you’re here…

(the wind rises as the music fades. addison looks suddenly uneasy. he pivots away nervously so that he and wilson are back to back.)
