Текст песни Two Nobodies In New York - Original Cast Recording

...
What if this dialouge were set to music?
What if what we′re saying could be said in a song?
Hey, that's not a bad idea
Perhaps we can use it.
Music in a musical, how can we go wrong?
We could
Ask significant questions.
We could
Get important points across.
Like are we writing for art?
And is art a springboard for fame?
And will fame get folks to trust us?
And will they trust us, if its just us
Me and you-oo
Two nobodies in New York.
Hey, I think it′s working
We're discovering choices.
Lots of things to think about when writing a show.
Yeah, creating a vehicle to showcase our voices.
And I don't mean my vocal cords,
I mean what′s below! (Uh-hu!)
We could
Ask significant questions.
We could
Get important points across.
Like are we writing for art?
And is art a springboard for fame?
And will fame get us a paycheck?
But will a paycheck mean that we′re sellouts?
And if we're sellouts, will they yell out
Me and you-oo
Two nobodies in New York
(Key change!)
Maybe someday our show will get a theatre
And if not this festival then somewhere out west.
TV actors in our show, what could be better-
Sweeter.
What?
Sweeter, we′ve been over this, you know the lyric is "sweeter."
(Sigh) But here's the deal, one of them sounds like it′s two syllables and other sounds like it's three syllables, so its like "sweeter," "the-a-tre." Does that rhyme?
Yes!
(Laughs)
I′m sorry, Larry, from the key change?
A five, six, seven, eight!
Maybe someday our show will get a theatre
And if not this festival than somewhere out west.
TV actors in our show,
What could be swee-a-tor!
Thanks, that great.
We can get that woman that was on "Empty Nest"
Tyna Manoff? She's awesome
Yeah!
She was in "Greece,"
And leader of the pack!
We could
Ask significant questions.
We could
Get important points across.
Like are we writing for art?
And is art a springboard for fame?
And will fame get us a sitcom?
And will a sitcom get us on Ellen?
And will Ellen get them folks to like us?
And if they like us, will they might just
Me and you-oo
Two nobodies
In!
New!
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ork!
NOBODIES IN NEW YORK!
