william finn - in trousers - reprise (the dream) lyrics

[marvin]
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
and then they lose their love
five good men in trousers
banged a table when they’d found their voice
it was a ladies’ choice
the women sat demure
and whistled through their t–th;
they gave directions underneath
on legs and knees, these
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose
their love
and then they lost their love

jessie wore a bonnet, may a sash
without a dash of charm
and sis read commonweal
bette was nervous so she picked a scab
from someone else’s arm
then jesse blew her meal
they had a laugh, these women
laughed their very best
the men in trousers aren’t impressed
or else they’re lazy
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
and then they lost their love

[ladies]
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
ba da da…
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
ba da da…

[marvin]
women sit like angels
men like vultures
it’s a trifle crude
it tends to make one think
same folk acting like from different cultures
as they chew their food
completely out of sync
it’s simply this: four women
and five men won’t meet
they must, for love, remain discreet-
and who’s to blame them?
[goldberg]
marvin’s giddy seizures
marvin needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
marvin’s giddy seizures
marvin needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
marvin’s giddy seizures
marvin needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
he needs love
ahh!

[sweetheart]
mar…
vin’s
giddy
seizures…

mar…
vin’s
giddy
seizures…

ahh!

[wife]
marvin
needs love
love
love

marvin
needs love
love

jessie works the corner
near the drugstore
may’s a souvenir
left on the bathroom shelf
bette wears fragrances like
“eau de wanting more”
while sis drank beer
and went and k!lled herself
i was a young man once
in trousers, one of five
i write to keep the pain alive
but ask no questions
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose their love
four young ladies sat around
and said they’d never lose
their love
and then they lost their love

[ladies]
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
ba da da…

[marvin]
and then they lose their love

[ladies]
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup
ba da da…

[marvin]
because we’re dreaming in trousers
laughing in trousers
playing in trousers
making music in trousers
making movies in trousers
people fighting in trousers
people singing and dancing and writing in trousers
people waiting in trousers
people crying in trousers
people living in trousers
people scr-w-ng in trousers
in trousers, in trousers
in trousers
in trousers

because we’re dreaming in trousers
laughing in trousers
playing in trousers
making music in trousers
making movies in trousers
people fighting in trousers
people singing and dancing and writing in trousers
people waiting in trousers
people crying in trousers
people living in trousers
people scr-w-ng in trousers
in trousers, in trousers
in trousers
in trousers
