[young buddy]

[young ben]

[young buddy & young ben]

[buddy]
hey, up there!

[ben]
way up there!

[buddy & ben]
whaddaya say, up there?

[buddy, spoken]
i see it all. it’s like a movie in my head that plays and plays. it isn’t just the bad things i remember. it’s the whole d-mn show
(sung)
waiting around for the girls upstairs
after the curtain came down—
money in my pocket to spend
“honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend?”
[ben]
hearing the sound of the girls above
dressing to go on the town—

[buddy]
cl!cking heels on steel and cemеnt—

[ben]
picking up the giggles floating down through the vеnt—

[ben & buddy]
godd-mnedest hours that i ever spent
were waiting for the girls upstairs

[buddy]
hey, up there!

[ben]
way up there!

[buddy]
whaddaya say, up there?

[ben]
that’s where the keys hung and
that’s where you picked up your mail…
[buddy]
i remember…
me and ben
me and ben
we’d come around at ten
me and ben
and hang around the wings
watching things
with what-the-h-ll-was-his-name
you know, the old guy—?
max! i remember!

anyway
there we’d stay
until the curtain fell
and when the curtain fell
then all h-ll broke:

girls on the run
and scenery flying
doors slamming left and right—

[ben]
girls in their un-
dies, blushing but trying
not to duck out of sight—
[ben, buddy]
girls by the hun-
dreds waving and crying
“see you tomorrow night!”

girls looking frazzled and girls looking great
girls in a frenzy to get to a date
girls like a madhouse and two of them late…
and who had to wait?
and wait?
and wait
and wait

[phyllis]
waiting around for the boys downstairs
stalling as long as we dare
which dress from my wardrobe of two?
(one of them was borrowed and the other was blue)

[sally]
holding our ground for the boys below
fussing around with our hair—

[phyllis]
giggling, wriggling out of our tights

[sally]
chattering and clattering down all of those flights—

[sally & phyllis]
god, i’d forgotten there ever were nights
of waiting for the boys downstairs

[ben & buddy]
you up there!

[sally]
down in a minute!

[ben & buddy]
you two up there!

[phyllis]
just keep your shirts on!

[ben & buddy]
aren’t you through up there?

[sally & phyllis]
heard you the first time!

[ben & buddy]
look, are you coming or
aren’t you coming ’cause
look, if we’re going
we
got to get going ’cause
look, they won’t hold us
a table at ringside
all night

[sally & phyllis]
coming, we’re coming
will you hold your horses
we’re coming, we’re ready, be
there in a jiffy, we’re
coming, we’re coming
all right!

[young sally]
hi

[young ben]
girls…

[young phyllis]
ben…

[young buddy]
sally…

[young sally]
boy, we’re beat

[young buddy]
you look neat

[young phyllis]
we saw you in the wings

[young ben]
how are things?

[young phyllis]
did someone pass you in?

[young buddy]
slipped a fin
to what-the-h-ll-was-his-name
you know, the doorman

[young phyllis]
al?

[young buddy]
no

[young sally]
big?

[young buddy]
fat

[young phyllis]
young?

[young buddy]
bald

[young sally]
harry!

[young buddy]
yeah

[young sally]
okey doaks

[young buddy]
come on, folks

[young phyllis]
and where we’re gonna go?

[young ben]
a little joint i know

[young sally]
what?

[young buddy]
great new show there

[young phyllis]
hey, i thought you said
tonight’s be tony’s—

[young buddy]
this joint is just as grand

[young sally]
we girls got dressed for
dancing at tony’s—

[young ben]
this joint is in demand

[young sally & young phyllis]
ta-ta, goodbye, you’ll
find us at tony’s—

[young buddy & young ben]
wait till you hear the band!

[young sally & young phyllis]
you told us tony’s
that we’d go to tony’s
then ben mentioned tony’s—
well, someone said tony’s

[young buddy & young ben]
i told you tony’s?
i never said tony’s!

[all women]
there’s dancing at tony’s—
all right, then, we’ll go!

[all men]
when’s ben mentioned tony’s?
it’s ritzy at tony’s—
all right, then, we’ll go!

[buddy]
waiting around for the girls upstairs
weren’t we chuckleheads then?

[ben]
very young and very old hat—
everybody has to go through stages like that

[buddy, ben, sally & phyllis]
waiting around for the girls upstairs—
thank you, but never again
life was fun, but oh, so intense
everything was possible and nothing made sense

[all]
back there when one of the major events
was waiting for the girls
waiting for the girls
waiting for the girls upstairs
