Lost or Found? Lyrics by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast

The View UpStairs

2017

[BUDDY]
Willie, the wise, is our resident sage
And he ain't shy on giving advice
He’s the biggest diva to come from the south
Since good ol' Leontyne Price
Now, Willie might seem like a shady-ass queen
But he's really got everyone’s back
And he's a day younger than Jesus
[WILLIE]
But you can't tell 'cause black don't crack
[WILLIE & BUDDY]
Black don't crack!
[BUDDY]
Need a shoulder to cry on?
Some drugs to get high on?
Take a look around
Just a minute ago you were lost
But now you're found
[BUDDY, WILLIE & FREDDY]
You can find a new mother
A friend or a lover
Stick around and see!
Just a minute ago you were bound
But now you're free
[BUDDY]
Freddy moved here from Puerto Rico
To taste the American Dream
He’d spend his days working in construction
And nights trying on mom’s Maybelline
It wasn't too long before he got caught
And his father called him a disgrace
[FREDDY]
But now my mom comes to every show!
[BUDDY]
To make sure his titties stay in their place
[HENRI, WILLIE & FREDDY]
To make sure those titties stay
[BUDDY]
If you desire a stranger
A little bit of danger –
[BUDDY, WILLIE, FREDDY & HENRI]
Take a look around
Just a minute ago you were lost
But now you’re found
You can find a new mother
A friend or a lover
Stick around and see!
Just a minute ago you were bound
But now you're free
[HENRI]
I built this place to finally have a home
And I work hard to care for it
I love this whole community
Even though you're all full of shit
'Cause the second trouble comes a’knockin'
All you fairies'll fly outta view
But I don't run, I got a mean right hook
And more balls than any of you!
[WILLIE, FREDDY & (HENRI)]
She's (I've) got balls
[BUDDY]
Wanna go on a bender
With a bulldagger bartender?
[BUDDY, WILLIE, FREDDY, RICHARD & HENRI]
Take a look around
Just a minute ago you were lost
But now you're found
You want a gloryhole troll
Or to save your soul?
Stick around and see!
Just a minute ago you were bound
But now you're free!
[BUDDY]
Then there's me, stuck here playing for tips
But one day you'll see me on
Johnny Carson, out and proud
Unlike that closet case Elton John
I've got more talent than ten of these queens combined
And the truth is I love my life
I'm at peace with who I am –
[WILLIE]
But you never told that to your wife
[BUDDY]
Need a shoulder to cry on?
Some drugs to get high on?
Take a look around
Just a minute ago you were lost
But now you're found
You can find a new mother
A friend or a lover
Stick around and see!
Just a minute ago you were bound
But now you're free
