stephen sondheim - land boom! lyrics

Loading...

[real-estate agent]
land boom!
with a double whammy, boy!
land boom!
profits this thick!
land boom!
down around miami, boy-
the weather’s kinda clammy
but it’s get rich quick!

brand-new communities
just take your pick
lots of opportunities-
all you need is capital
a little does the trick
beg or steal or borrow
it’ll double by tomorrow
only get your -ss to florida
and get rich quick!

(train whistle sounds.)

(the bed has been transformed into a railway compartment. in it sits the handsome young man from the opening number. addison enters. the handsome young man is revealed to be hollis bessemer.)

[hollis bessemer, spoken]
i have an aunt. two hours before the train left i found out she was stopping in palm beach

[addison, spoken]
palm beach?

[hollis, spoken]
tiny town, middle of nowhere. nothing there but a monstrosity of a hotel. she’s looking for a place to build a house

[addison, spoken]
really?
a house?

[hollis, spoken]
i sent her a telegram, begged her to wait for me-

[addison, spoken]
friendly refuge till the storm clouds clear, eh?

[hollis, spoken]
no, it’s more than that. i need her help

[addison, spoken]
with what?
…if you’d rather not-

[hollis, spoken]
no! no, i’ll tell you
