william finn – mark’s all-male thanksgiving lyrics
[man two & woman]
looking in the window
of this empty house sp-ce
i see their reflections in my face
[man one]
every thanksgiving
mark made his all-male thanksgiving dinner
where men cooked the turkey and men made the cranberry sauce-
without nuts, ’cause men don’t like nuts
but the stuffing was manly and the fingerbowls ditto
and ditto, the pureed sweet yams
very manly
when mark made his all-male thanksgiving
bill sherwood was present
he wrote and directed parting glances
a movie for which mark raised the money
in which arthur invested
and the thanksgiving crew
put money in too
steve buscemi was featured; his first time on screen
and you knew you were watching a star
god, he was great
but he wasn’t at mark’s all-male thanksgiving
remembering this
is sort of like grandpa remembering his shtetl
it seems to take place so, so long ago
in the past
the memories last, but fade
what a community we made
diplomats, poets, opera guys, guys dressed in leather britches
some paunchy, some starting to bald, some were awful
and some were okay
in a non-threatening way
mark the lawyer wore flannel, he comes from wisconsin
the handsomest guy wore a tie
that was arthur: sweetly decent, funny, and living
i met arthur when mark made his all-male thanksgiving
and the excellent movie, that bill sherwood filmed
was his first and his last
since, alas, the boy p-ssed
arthur still, when he smiles, he makes my heart flutter
we think it’s been twenty-two years
i wrote this song to not forget mark’s all-male thanksgiving
it’s been so long since mark made his all-male thanksgiving
where we gave thanks
