"Tell Me, Ernest" lyrics

Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard & Christopher Sieber Lyrics

"Tell Me, Ernest"
(from "Death Becomes Her (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[MADELINE:]
So tell me, Ernest, what would you do to me? Aesthetically?
A lift, a tuck, a freeze, a suck, some filler in the chin?

[ERNEST:]
Oh, goodness, no

[MADELINE:]
No, really, tell me, Ernest, if you had your way with me
Medically, are we talking face, chest, thighs, breasts?
Oh, God, I don't know where to begin
What about this vein on my leg?
I stressed it out from doing squats on the reg
Do you have time on Tuesday to squeeze me in?

[HELEN:]
I told you, Ernest doesn't really do that

[ERNEST:]
But she's a friend, Tuesday's doable

[MADELINE:]
Mm, doable, huh?

So, tell me, Ernest, how much have you seen of me, cinematically?
The roms, the coms, the rom-coms, the dramas, the dramedies

[HELEN:]
The straight-to-DVDs

[MADELINE:]
No, really, Ernest, how often have you watched me?

[ERNEST:]
Uh, sporadically?

[HELEN:]
What?

[ERNEST:]
I really liked the one where you were fighting with a sword

[MADELINE:]
Oh, Thrust!

[HELEN:]
That was her first Razzie award

[MADELINE:]
You know I did all my own stunts
I only injured all of my co-stars once
Now swordplay foreplay's one of my specialties
We need another bottle
I must be boring you senseless
I'm just so thrilled that you both are here
Treat her well, I haven't seen Hel this happy in years

[ERNEST:]
Well, hear, hear

[HELEN:]
Thank you, Mad, so sincere

[MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:]
Cheers
I'm so glad we did this

[HELEN:]
Well, this has been so much fun, but oh, gosh, look at the time

[MADELINE:]
Oh, please, you don't have anywhere else to be
Our Helen, always worrying

But tell me, Ernest
How's Helen in the sack?

[HELEN:]
Mad!

[MADELINE:]
Just curious
I've known this girl for twenty years
And never have I ever heard her make a uh-uh-woah

[HELEN:]
Hey!

[MADELINE:]
Oh, lighten up, Ernest!

[HELEN:]
We should be heading back

[MADELINE:]
Uh-oh, she's furious
Come on, Hel
You know I'm just having fun
Ooh, we've only begun
A toast to friends for life
That's right, you're stuck with me, Ernie
Thank your wife

[HELEN:]
Well, it's been fun, but we gotta go
I think I'm done, gonna hit the road

[MADELINE:]
I must be boring you senseless

[HELEN:]
Oh, we must be bored

[MADELINE & HELEN:]
I feel so thrilled that you both are here (We're out of here)

We should do this again

[MADELINE:]
How's next week?

[HELEN:]
How's next year?

[MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:]
Cheers, cheers

[MADELINE:]
I'm so glad

[ERNEST:]
So glad

[HELEN:]
So fucking glad

[MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:]
We did this
