Entering Grey Gardens Lyrics by Bob Stillman

Grey Gardens Original Broadway Cast Recording

2007

[ENSEMBLE TENOR (Gould)]
When hedges hide the world away
[EDITH, spoken]
Edie!
[ENSEMBLE TENOR]
And shadows blur the time of day
[EDITH, spoken]
Edie!
[EDIE, spoken]
I’m feeding the cats!
[ENSEMBLE TENOR]
When cans of cat food are pâté
[ENSEMBLE]
You’re entering Grey Gardens
[EDITH, spoken]
Liver pâté, you have to make it!
I can’t make it!
[EDIE, spoken]
When am I gonna get outta here?
[ENSEMBLE SOPRANO (Young Edie)]
The musty smell of feline fur
[ENSEMBLE BASS (Major)]
The dusty marks where pictures were
[ENSEMBLE MEZZO & ALTO (Jackie & Lee)]
The vermin in the furniture
[ENSEMBLE]
You’re entering Grеy Gardens
[EDITH, spoken]
Edie!
[ENSEMBLE HIGH TENOR (Kennedy)]
The cеiling sags
The stairway creaks
[ENSEMBLE BARITONE (Brooks)]
The faucet drips
The toilet leaks
[ENSEMBLE TENOR]
The crumbling walls
[ENSEMBLE BASS]
The broken clocks
[ENSEMBLE]
It’s like a twenty eight room litter box
[ENSEMBLE TENOR]
One hundred fifty windowsills
To catch a wink or two
[ENSEMBLE]
And that’s Grey Gardens from a cat’s eye view
[EDITH, spoken]
I’ll die if I don’t eat!
[EDIE, spoken]
I found your pâté, mother darling
I think it’s pâté
The label, it’s faded
Is it pâté or is it giblets for the cats?
[ENSEMBLE]
The fog rolls in, and there it stays
It suffocates the house in haze
From room to room, it drifts about
And nobody except a cat gets out
[ENSEMBLE TENOR]
A haven from a callous world
With no one sayin’ “shoo”
[ENSEMBLE]
And that’s Grey Gardens from a cat’s eye view
[EDIE, spoken]
I may die with this diet, I don’t like it at all
[EDITH, spoken]
Ever since you started trying to lose weight you’ve been impossible
[EDIE, spoken]
I’m not gaining it back
[EDITH, spoken]
Starve yourself, not me!
[EDIE, spoken]
Here’s your pâté, mother darling
