“A Lot of People Think...” Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Sondheim on Sondheim (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2010

[STEPHEN SONDHEIM, spoken]
A lot of people think that a lot of the songs I write are autobiographical
And they think that the characters I write about are me
They think I'm George in Sunday in the Park with George
Or I'm Bobby in Company
But in fact, there's only been one autobiographical song I've ever written
And that was "Opening Doors" in Merrily We Roll Along
It's about two writers trying to bust their way into show business
And their best friend, a girl who's a novelist
And it's about me and it's about Hal Prince
And it's about Mary Rodgers and it's about Sheldon Harnick
And it's about Jerry Bock
It's about all of us in the fifties
Knocking on the doors of producers and trying to get heard
