Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A day in Falsettoland, Dr. Mendel at work
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
How does that make you feel, Diane?
[Verse 5]
Caroline
[Verse 6]
Caroline
[Verse 7]
Yes, my name is Caroline
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Now that I got the promotion, can I finally stop sleeping with my boss?
[Verse 10]
Time's up
[Verse 11]
You always do this
[Verse 12]
At least there's Trinna at home
Trinna in bed
Trinna 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
[Verse 13]
Trinna works it out
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
The neighbors relax after work
[Verse 16]
How was your day at the hospital?
[Verse 17]
Unbelievable
What is that smell?
[Verse 18]
Nouvelle bar mitzvah cuisine
I've been practicing
Cuisine, bar mitzvah, nouvelle
[Verse 19]
Hi honey
[Verse 20]
Well
[Verse 21]
Hi, honey
[Verse 22]
How was your day?
[Verse 23]
It was terrible
Did you hear that Marvin's back with Whizzer?
Marvin's back with Whizzer
[Verse 24]
Drop it, sweetheart
Give it up, you know I love you
What's the matter Trinna, darling?
I don't get it
Why can't you let go?
[Verse 25]
Maybe in a mile I'll be okay
I'll be happy when we finally have this bar mitzvah
[Verse 26]
Isn't it enough I want you every night?
[Verse 27]
Who?
Every other night?
Me?
Every third night?
Hahaha
Let's drop it
[Verse 28]
Everything will be alright
Oh everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
[Verse 29]
How was your day at the hospital?
[Verse 30]
It was wonderful
For the first time in months
Nobody died
[Verse 31]
Yay
[Verse 32]
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
[Verse 33]
You save lives and I save chicken fat
I can't fucking deal with that
[Verse 34]
Do you know how great my life is?
Do you know how great my life is?
Do you know how great my life is?
[Verse 35]
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
[Verse 36]
Yes, I know how great your life is
Yes, I know how great your life is
Yes, I know how great your life is
[Verse 37]
Saving lives and loving you
[Verse 38]
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
[Verse 39]
You give up
I perspire
Where's the heat, where's the fire
Used to be you desired
To fight so fight
So play
[Verse 40]
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
[Verse 41]
Lucky dink
I'm finessing
Something stinks in how you play
Don't you think it's a blessing I'm so pathetically bad?
[Verse 42]
Just stay back, serve with force
I'll attack and of course
I will win, just give in
To bliss and kiss
[Verse 43]
Let's go
[Verse 44]
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?
[Verse 45]
Hit your shoe
No, it didn't
Yes it did, the game is through
[Verse 46]
That's not nice
No, it isn't
God, you're a pain in the ass
[Verse 47]
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
[Verse 48]
Do you know all I want is you?
Do you know how great my life is?
Anything you do is alright
[Verse 49]
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
