Lyrics A Day in Falsettoland - Falsettos 2016 Broadway Company

A day in Falsettoland
Doctor Mendel at work

I don't get it
I don't understand
In the sixties everyone had heart
In the sixties we were all a part of the same team
In the sixties we had a new world to start
Could this, oh god, don't say it is
Could this be the new world we started?
Here I sit broken hearted and

You go out on the street and there are all these people asking for a handout
Then you go home, you open up your mail and it's full of people asking for a donation
Then you turn on the TV and there's pictures of starving children in Ethiopia

How does that make you feel Diane?

Caroline

Caroline?

Yes, my name is Caroline

I don't get it
I've been left behind
Half my patients yuppy pagans
Modeled on the Ronald Reagans
Now the world is too pathetic and I don't get it at all

Now that I got the promotion can I finally stop sleeping with my boss?

Time's up

Oh, you always do this!

At least there's Trina at home
Trina in bed
Trina obsessing and sort of caressing my head with her feet
I once thought it was sweet
But I don't anymore
Now I just snore
'Cause I'm so exhausted
Listening to these yuppy farts complain
Listening as their shallow hearts explain their lives

Trina works it out

Marvin's back with Whizzer
Just like how it was
If I don't like Whizzer
It's because my ex sure does

Why should that upset me?
Sometimes I'm a lout
Mendel serenades and Jason calms me
Why should I be wilting
When their precious love is not in doubt?
Work it out

The neighbors relax after work

How was your day
At the hospital?

Unbelievable
What is that smell?

Nouvelle bar mitzvah cuisine
I've been practicing cuisine bar mitzvah nouvelle

Hi honey

Well?

Hi honey

How was your day?

It was terrible
Did you hear that Marvin's back with Whizzer?
Marvin's back with Whizzer!

Drop it, sweetheart
Give it up, you know I love you
What's a matter, Trina, darling?

I don't get it
Why can't you let go?

Maybe in a mile I'll be okay
Oh, I'll be happy when we finally have this bar mitzvah

Isn't it enough I want you every night?

Who?

Every other night?

Me?

Every third night?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Let's drop it!
Everything will be alright

Oh, everything be will alright

Everything will be alright

How was your day
At the hospital?

It was wonderful
For the first time in months
Nobody died!

Yay!

There were just heart attacks and gallstones
Lightbulbs up the ass
Fake appendicitis which was gas
Which I diagnosed
People overdosed and I saved them

I saved young people, old people
One priest, and one high school principal
Saving lives I feel invincible
Yes, I do

Do you know how great my life is?
Do you know how great my life is?
Saving lives and loving you

You save lives and I save chicken fat
I can't fucking deal with that

Do you know how great my life is?
Yes, I know how great your life is (everything will be alright)
Do you know how great my life is?
Yes, I know how great your life is (everything will be alright)
Do you know how great my life is?
Yes, I know how great your life is (everything will be alright)
Saving lives and loving you

It bounced twice

No, it didn't

Yeah, once, then twice, you know it did

That's not nice

No, it isn't
But you're a pain in the ass

You're a beast, but at least when you play me you win

You give up

I perspire

Where's the heat, where's the fire?
Used to be you desired a fight, so fight!

So play!

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

Lucky dink

I'm finessing

Something stinks in how you play

Don't you think it's a blessing
I'm so pathetically bad?

Just stay back, serve with force
I'll attack, and of course
I will win, just give in to bliss
And kiss

Let's go!

Do you know (down the alley)
All I want is you (high lob, low drive)
Anything you do is alright (ceiling shot, into the corner)
Yes, it's alright
Do you know (four walls)
All I want is you

Hit your shoe

No, it didn't

Yes, it did
The game is through

That's not nice

No, it isn't

God, you're a pain in the ass

Play it raw, don't play pretty
Sex and games in New York City
Have gotta be played with flair
And passion
And passion and flair

Do you know how great my life is? (all i want is you)
Do you know how great my life is? (anything you do)
Saving lives and loving you (is alright)
Yes, it's alright (everything will be alright)
Everything will be alright
Everything will, everything will

Feel alright for the rest of your life
Feel alright for the rest of your life
Feel alright for the rest of your life
Feel alright, feel alright

Feel alright for the rest of your life
Feel alright for the rest of your life
Feel alright for the rest of your life
Everything will be alright!
