"A Day In Falsettoland" lyrics
(from "Falsettos (2016 Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
A day in Falsettoland, Dr. 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 hand out
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 of my patients, yuppy pagans
Modeled on the Ronald Reagan's
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
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 yuppie 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 the matter Trina, darling?
I don't get it
Why can't you let go?
Maybe in a mile I'll be okay
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?
Hahaha
Let's drop it
Everything will be alright
Oh everything will be 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 gall stones
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?
Do you know how great my life is?
Do you know how great my life is?
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Yes, I know how great your life is
Yes, I know how great your life is
Yes, I know how great your life is
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
To 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 all I want is you?
Anything you do is alright
Yes, it's alright
Do you know 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 all I want is you?
Do you know how great my life is?
Anything you do is 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
