Second-Hand Suit (Sara Chase and Company) | The Great Gatsby on Broadway

Описание: 6. SECOND-HAND SUIT

MYRTLE:
WHEN MY HUSBAND GEORGE PROPOSED TO ME
I COULDN’T HELP BUT PANIC
NEVER IN MY WILDEST FANTASY
DID I MARRY A MECHANIC
BUT GEORGE HE SAID, “WE’LL STRIKE IT RICH, YOU’LL SEE
FOR I AM WHAT YOU CALL AN UP AND COMER”
AND SO I GAVE THE BOY A CHANCE
PRAYED HE WOULD ADVANCE
AT LEAST HE’S NOT A PLUMBER

WHEN I SAW HIM WALKING DOWN THE AISLE
HE ACTUALLY LOOKED CUTE
I COULDN’T HELP BUT CRACK A SMILE
HE HAD BOUGHT HIMSELF A SUIT!
I LET HIM PUT A RING ON ME AND GEE
HE LOOKED SO HANDSOME IN HIS BIB AND TUCKER
I PROMISED HIM FIDELITY
FOR ETERNITY
AND BOY WAS I A SUCKER

IT WAS A SECOND-HAND SUIT!
HE HAD TO BORROW A SUIT FOR OUR WEDDING DAY
HIS DREAMS WERE ALL A MIRAGE
AND NOW I LIVE ABOVE A GARAGE

I MET MISTER BUCHANAN ON A TRAIN
HE LOOKED JUST LIKE A LION

Tom playfully roars in her ear.

SITTIN’ AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN
I TELL YOU SPARKS WERE FLYIN’
FROM THE MINUTE THAT WE MET

MYRTLE & TOM:
KISMET
WE BOTH KNEW THAT IT WAS NOW OR NEVER

MYRTLE:
ON THE WAY TO THE HOTEL, ALL I THOUGHT WAS, HELL
YOU CAN’T LIVE FOREVER!

IT’S BAD ENOUGH THAT I WAS BORN TO LIVE AMONG
THE LOWEST ON THE LADDER
I MARRIED UP AND NEVER LEFT THE BOTTOM RUNG
BUT NOW IT DOESN’T MATTER

YOU MAKE A VOW TO STICK THROUGH THICK AND THIN
AND THEN YOU LEARN THE VOW’S A BUNCH OF TWADDLE
IF YOU HATE THE WRECK YOU’RE IN
SCREW THE THICK AND THIN
AND LOOK FOR A NEW MODEL!

ENSEMBLE:
AH AH AH AH AH AH
OH OH OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH OH

MYRTLE:
I’M DONE WITH SECOND-HAND SUITS
I’M DONE WITH SECOND-HAND SUITS ON A WEDDING DAY
NO MORE SETTLING FOR LESS
I’LL LIVE A LIFE OF DRESSING TO IMPRESS
TIME FOR LIFE AT THE RITZ
TELL GEORGE I’M CALLING IT QUITS
I FINALLY FOUND
SOMETHING THAT
FITS!
SOMETHING THAT FITS!
