Follies (Original Broadway Cast)

[BUDDY]
Hello, folks, we're into the Follies!
First, though, folks, we'll pause for a mo'
No, no, folks, you'll still get your jollies—
It's just I got a problem that I think you should know
See, I've been very perturbed of late, very upset
Very betwixt and between
The things that I want, I don't seem to get
The things that I get—you know what I mean?
(spoken)
Margie? Margie?
(sung)
She says she really loves me—
["MARGIE", spoken]
I love you
[BUDDY]
—She says
She says she really cares
["MARGIE", spoken]
I care, I care
[BUDDY]
She says that I'm her hero—
["MARGIE", spoken]
My hero
[BUDDY]
—She says
I'm perfect, she swears
["MARGIE", spoken]
You're perfect, goddammit
[BUDDY]
She says that if we parted—
["MARGIE", spoken]
If we parted—
[BUDDY]
—She says
She says that she'll be sick
["MARGIE", spoken]
Bleah
[BUDDY]
She says she's mine forever—
["MARGIE", spoken]
Forever
[BUDDY]
—She says
I gotta get outta here quick!
I've got those
"God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later"
Blues
That
"Long-as-you-ignore-me-you're-the-only-thing-that-matters"
Feeling
That
"If-I'm-good-enough-for-you-you're-not-good-enough,"
And
"Thank-you-for-the-present-but-what's-wrong-with-it" stuff
Those
"Don't-come-any-closer-cause-you-know-how-much-I-love-you"
Feelings
Those
"Tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-I-gotta-run-now"
Blues
(spoken)
Sally? Sally?
(sung)
She says she loves another—
["SALLY", spoken]
Another
[BUDDY]
—She says
A fella she prefers
["SALLY", spoken]
Furs... Furs...
[BUDDY]
She says that he's her idol—
["SALLY", spoken]
Idolidolidolidol
[BUDDY]
—She says
Ideal, she avers
["SALLY", spoken]
You deal—"Avers"?
[BUDDY]
She says that anybody—
["SALLY", spoken]
Buddy—Bleah!
[BUDDY]
—She says
Would suit her more than I
["SALLY", spoken]
Ay-yay-yay...
[BUDDY]
She says that I'm a washout—
["SALLY", spoken]
Washout!
[BUDDY]
—She says
I love her so much, I could die!
["SALLY", spoken]
Get outta here!
[BUDDY]
I've got those
"Whisper-how-I'm-better-than-I-think-but-what-do-you-know"
Blues
["MARGIE" & "SALLY"]
Bla-bla-blues!
[BUDDY]
That
"Why-do-you-keep-telling-me-I-stink-when-I-adore-you"
Feeling
["MARGIE" & "SALLY"]
Feeling!
[BUDDY]
That "Say-I'm-all-the-world-to-you-you're-outta-your-mind-
I-know-there's-someone-else-and-I-could-kiss-your-behind"
Those
"You-say-I'm-terrific-but-your-taste-was-always-rotten"
Feelings
["MARGIE" & "SALLY"]
Bla-bla-blues!
[BUDDY]
Those
"Go-away-I-need-you"
"Come-to-me-I'll-kill-you"
"Darling-I'll-do-anything-to-keep-you-with-me-tlll-you-
Tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-now-beat-it-will-you?"
[BUDDY, "MARGIE" & "SALLY"]
Blues!
