Stephen Sondheim - Side by Side by Side/What Would We Do Without You lyrics

ROBERT: Isn't it warm? Isn't it rosy? Side by side by side SARAH [speaking]: He's such a cutie. Isn't he a cutie? ROBERT: Ports in a storm Comfy and cozy Side by side by side PETER: He never loses his cool HARRY: I envy that ROBERT: Everything shines How sweet! ROBERT, SARAH & HARRY: Side by side... SUSAN: We're just so fond of him ROBERT: ...by side Parallel lines Who meet FRIENDS: Love him! Can't get enough of him! ROBERT: Everyone winks Nobody's nosy Side by side by side JOANNE: He is just crazy about me PAUL: He's a very tender guy ROBERT: You bring the drinks And I'll bring the posy-- ROBERT, JOANNE, LARRY: Side by side... LARRY: He's always there when you need him ROBERT: ...by side One is lonely and two is boring Think what you can keep ignoring Side by side by side AMY: He's my best friend...I mean, apart from my husband FRIENDS: Never a bother! Seven times a godfather! ALL: Year after year Older and older... LARRY: It's amazing. We've gotten older every year and he seems to Stay exactly the same ALL: Sharing a tear Lending a shoulder DAVID: You know what comes to my mind when I see him? The Seagram's Building. Isn't that funny? ALL: Ain't we got fun? No strain JOANNE: Sometimes I catch him looking and looking--and I just look Right back ALL: Permanent sun No rain We're so crazy, he's so sane Friendship forbids Anything bitter PAUL: You know, a person like Bob doesn't have the good things and he Doesn't have the bad things, but he doesn't have the good things either ALL: Being the kids As well as the sitter-- HARRY: Let me make him a drink. He's the only guy I know I feel should Drink more ROBERT: One's impossible, two is dreary Three is company, safe and cheery ALL: Side... SARAH: He always looks like he's keeping score ALL: By side... SARAH: Who's winning, Robert? ALL: By side ROBERT: Here is the church Here is the steeple Open the doors And see all the crazy married people FRIENDS: What would we do without you? How would we ever get through? Who would I complain to for hours? Who'd bring me the flowers When I have the flu? Who'd finish yesterday's stew? Who'd take the kids to the zoo? Who is so dear, and who is so deep And who would keep her/him occupied when I want to sleep? How would we ever get through? What would we do without you? What would we do without you? How would we ever get through? Should there be a marital squabble Available Bob'll Be there with the glue Who could we open up to Secrets we keep from guess who? Who is so safe, and who is so sound? You never need an an*lyst with Bobby around! How would we ever get through? What would we do without you? What would we do without you? How would we ever get through? Who sends anniversary wishes? Who helps with the dishes And never says boo? Who changes subjects on cue? Who cheers us up when we're blue? Who is a flirt, but never a threat Reminds us of our birthdays which we always forget? How would we ever get through? What would we do without you? What would we do without you? How would we ever get-- How would we ever get-- How would we ever get-- How would we ever get--through? What would we do without you? ROBERT: Just what you usually do FRIENDS: Right! You who sit with us You who share with us You who fit with us You who bear with us You-hoo, you-hoo You-hoo, you-hoo... ROBERT: Okay now! Everybody! ALL: Isn't it warm? Isn't it rosy? Side by side! Ports in a storm Comfy and cozy Side by side! Everything shines How sweet Side by side! Parallel lines Who meet Side by side! Year after year Older and older Side by side! Sharing a tear And lending a shoulder Side by side! One's impossible, two is gloomy Give another number to me Side by side by side by side By side by side by side by side By side!
