Cookies Lyrics by William Finn

0

[GORDO]
Wide awake, and its quarter after five
Heres how Gordo stays alive
I watch the morning news at five and then at eight
But in the break
Eat a cookie eat a pie
I got a long time till I die
I´ve got a long time to work off the excess
Wait!
I cannot eat a cookie, wait
I cannot eat a pie, it ruins my diet
It ruins my life
Don´t wake Roger if you move
You might wake Roger
[ROGER]
You've already woken Roger
Go ahead, eat a cookie, I don't care
Eat the whole damn frigidaire, that's why it's there
But it's unfair, I have to work tomorrow
Early, I must work early
[GORDON & ROGER]
We get together so well
Life's hell, but eat a cookie, eat a pie
That is how we gotta beat the trying times
[GORDON]
Go to sleep
[ROGER]
And the cookie, how'd it feel?
[GORDON]
Ah, it tastes better than a meal
[ROGER]
It's no big deal but you're unreal
[GORDON]
I know the clock is ticking, so goodnight
[ROGER]
I'm up
[GORDON]
No (?) cookie, no-
[ROGER]
I'm up
[GORDON]
I got a long time till I die, maybe-
[ROGER]
I'm up
[GORDON]
Maybe I'll work off the excess
Wait
I think I feel me yawning, wait
Despite a new day dawning
I succumb to sleep
(it transitions to sailing here)
