william finn - falsettoland / about time lyrics

[mendel]
h-m-sexuals
women with children
short insomniacs
and a teeny tiny band

come, back in
the welcome mat is on the floor
let’s, begin
this story needs an ending

a h-m-sexual
father with children
one bar mitzvah that
is scrupulously planned

[all]
lovers come and lovers go
lovers fight and sing fortissimo
give these handsome boys a hand
welcome to falsettoland

[trina and whizzer]
nancy reagan
meanest and thinnest of the first ladies
moves into the white house

[marvin, jason, mendel, charlotte, cordelia]
ya-bah-dah-bah

[whizzer and trina]
it’s the ’80s

marvin, jason, mendel, charlotte, cordelia
ya-bah-dah-bah

[whizzer and trina]
ooh, the ’80s,

[marvin, jason, mendel, charlotte, cordelia]
ya-bah-dah-bah

[whizzer and trina]
what a world we live

[marvin, whizzer, mendel, and jason]
march, march, march of the falsettos
march of the falsettos

[trina, charlotte, and cordelia]
what a world we live in

[marvin, whizzer, mendel, and jason]
who is man enough to march in
march of the falsettos

[all]
ya-bah-dah-bah

[charlotte and cordelia]
spiky lesbians

[dr. charlotte]
women internists

[cordelia]
shiksa caterer

[trina, cordelia, and charlotte]
who is trying to expand

[all]
everybody on your mark

[trina, cordelia, and charlotte]
congregate in central park

[marvin, whizzer, mendel, and jason]
pretty boys are in demand

[all]
welcome to falsettoland
whee!
whoo!
what a world we live in!
whee!
whoo!
what a world we live in!

[marvin]
it’s about time, don’t ya think?
it’s about time to grow up, don’t ya think?
it’s about time to grow up and face the music
it’s about time

since we last spoke
two years are waning
i’ll try explaining
just what you’ve missed
we called a truce
and fitfully we coexist
i’m still loose
she’s still with the psychiatrist
so i don’t have a psychiatrist
except on the jewish holidays
but i still have my son on the weekends
just on the weekends
and some very good friends
but i don’t have a lover anymore
oh my god
when am i gonna get over this?
when am i gonna get over this?
when am i gonna get over this?

[whizzer, charlotte, and cordelia]
h-m-sexuals

[trina and jason]
women with children

[all]
ex-ex lovers

[mendel]
and a teeny tiny band

[all]
welcome to falsettoland

[cordelia]
shiksa caterers

[with mendel & jason]
short insomniacs

[with charlotte]
hypochondriacs

[with marvin]
yiddish americans

[with whizzer]
spiky families
radiologists
intellectuals

[with trina]
nervous wrecks!

[all sigh]

welcome to falsettoland

[marvin]
it’s about time, don’t ya think
it’s about time to grow up, don’t ya think
it’s about time to grow up and face the music
it’s about time
one day i’d like to be
as mature as my son, who is twelve and a half
and this tall!
that’s all i’d like to be
that’s all!
it’s about growing up, getting older, living on a lover’s shoulder
learning love is not a crime
it’s about time
it’s about time
it’s about time
it’s about—
