Waiting for the Girls Upstairs Lyrics by Ashley Campbell, Rob Houchen, Charlie Stemp

Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends: A Celebration

2023

Hey, up there!
Way up there!
Whaddaya say, up there?
Waiting around for the girls upstairs
After the curtain comes down
Money in my pocket to spend
"Honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend?"
Hearing the sound of the girls above
Dressing to go on the town
Clicking heels on steel and cement
Picking up the giggles floating down through the vent
Goddamnedest hours that I ever spent
Were waiting for the girls upstairs
Hey, up there!
Way up there!
Whaddaya say, up there?
That's where the keys hung and
That's where they picked up the mail
Waiting around for the girls upstairs
Weren't we chuckleheads then?
Very young and very old hat
Everybody has to go through stages like that
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
Back there when one of the major events
Was waiting for the girls
Waiting for the girls
Waiting for the girls
Waiting for the girls
Waiting for the girls upstairs
