Stephen Sondheim - Soldiers' Gossip (#1) lyrics

[TORASSO] Did you hear the scream last night? [AUGENTI] Did anybody not? [RIZZOLLI] Four ball on the side [LOMBARDI] She knows how to scream, all right [BARRI] Well, she practices a lot [AUGENTI] Good shot [RIZZOLLI] Six ball in the corner [LOMBARDI] So that wasn't dying, we a**ume? [BARRI] No, I think she just fell off her broom [TORASSO] Or they hung a mirror in the room Of la signora! [BARRI] La signora! [AUGENTI] La signora! [RIZZOLLI] Please, a little quiet! (Bugle call. Drums continue softly under as the game continues Giorgio enters to speak with the Doctor.) [RIZZOLLI, spoken] Care to play, Captain? [GIORGIO, spoken] No. Thank you for asking (Giorgio leaves.) [TORASSO] Just a bit aloof, don't you think? [LOMBARDI] Not around the Colonel [AUGENTI] Gentlemen, gentlemen Never trust a man who doesn't drink [TORASSO] And he keeps a journal [BARRI] Eight-ball off the nine [RIZZOLLI] Maybe, though, he just prefers his books [LOMBARDI] Not as much as he prefers his looks [TORASSO] Which is why he thinks he's got his hooks Into la Signora [BARRI] Gentlemen, I'll make a wager: Come the summer, he'll be Major [RIZZOLLI] I'll say! [ALL] I'll say! I'll say!
