stephen sondheim - "ten years after i was born..." lyrics

Loading...

[stephen sondheim, spoken]
ten years after i was born, my parents were divorced and my mother got custody of me, and bought a house in doylestown, pennsylvania.

i was an only child, and both my parents were working parents. so because i had no sort of childhood companion, and my mother was a celebrity hunter, she knew slightly the oscar hammersteins, and they lived about three miles away. so she sort of foisted me on them because they had a son my own age, actually a year younger. jimmy hammerstein.

and as a rеsult, dorothy and oscar hammerstein becamе my surrogate parents during my teen years. and that’s essentially how i became a songwriter, because i wanted to do what oscar did. i’ve often said if he had been a geologist, i probably would have been a geologist.
