William Finn - In Trousers - Reprise (The Dream) lyrics

[MARVIN] Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love And then they lose their love Five good men in trousers Banged a table when they'd found their voice It was a ladies' choice The women sat demure And whistled through their teeth; They gave directions underneath On legs and knees, these Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose Their love And then they lost their love Jessie wore a bonnet, May a sash Without a dash of charm And Sis read Commonweal Bette was nervous so she picked a scab From someone else's arm Then Jesse blew her meal They had a laugh, these women Laughed their very best The men in trousers aren't impressed Or else they're lazy Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love And then they lost their love [LADIES] Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Ba da da... Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Ba da da... [MARVIN] Women sit like angels Men like vultures It's a trifle crude It tends to make one think Same folk acting like from different cultures As they chew their food Completely out of sync It's simply this: four women And five men won't meet They must, for love, remain discreet- And who's to blame them? [GOLDBERG] Marvin's giddy seizures Marvin needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love Marvin's giddy seizures Marvin needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love Marvin's giddy seizures Marvin needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love He needs love Ahh! [SWEETHEART] Mar... Vin's Giddy Seizures... Mar... Vin's Giddy Seizures... Ahh! [WIFE] Marvin Needs love Love Love Marvin Needs love Love Love! [MARVIN] Jessie works the corner Near the d**tore May's a souvenir Left on the bathroom shelf Bette wears fragrances like "Eau de Wanting More" While Sis drank beer And went and k**ed herself I was a young man once In trousers, one of five I write to keep the pain alive But ask no questions Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose their love Four young ladies sat around And said they'd never lose Their love And then they lost their love [LADIES] Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Ba da da... [MARVIN] And then they lose their love [LADIES] Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Baba dup ba dup ba dup ba dup Ba da da... [MARVIN] Because we're dreaming in trousers Laughing in trousers Playing in trousers Making music in trousers Making movies in trousers People fighting in trousers People singing and dancing and writing in trousers People waiting in trousers People crying in trousers People living in trousers People screwing in trousers In trousers, in trousers In trousers In trousers Because we're dreaming in trousers Laughing in trousers Playing in trousers Making music in trousers Making movies in trousers People fighting in trousers People singing and dancing and writing in trousers People waiting in trousers People crying in trousers People living in trousers People screwing in trousers In trousers, in trousers In trousers In trousers
