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

I came out here for one thing
And that little bitty one thing
Was to forget about you
But I guess I've learned something
That there's never really one thing

My arms are shaking

Cynthia Erivo - "The Wizard And I" Oh, Miss Elphaba
Many years I have waited
For a gift like yours to appear
Why, I predict the Wizard might make you his
Magic grand vizier

I'll write at once to the Wizard
Tell him...
