作词 : Stephen Sondheim 作曲 : Stephen Sondheim Hey up there! Way up there! Whaddaya say, up there? I see it all It's like a movie in my head that plays and plays It isn't just the bad things I remember It's the whole show Waiting around for the girls upstairs After the curtain came down Money in my pocket to spend 'Honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend?' Hearing the sound of the girls above Dressing to go on the town Clicking heels on steel and cement Picking up the giggles floating down through the vent Goddamnedest hours that I ever spent... ...Were waking for the girls Upstairs Hey up there! Way up there! Whaddaya say up there? That's where the keys hung and That's where you picked up your mail I remember Me and Ben, Me and Ben We'd come around at ten, Me and Ben And hang around the wings, Watching things With what-the-hell-was-his-name, You know, the old guy... Max! I remember Anyway, there we'd stay Until the curtain fell And when the curtain fell, Then all hell broke Girls on the run and scenery flying, Doors slamming left and right Girls in their undies, blushing but trying Not to duck out of sight Girls by the hundreds waving and crying, 'See you tomorrow night!' Girls looking frazzled and girls looking great Girls in a frenzy to get to a date Girls like a madhouse and two of 'em late... And who had to wait? And wait... And wait... Waiting around for the boys downstairs Stalling as long as we dare Which dress from my wardrobe of two? One of them was borrowed and the other was blue Holding our ground for the boys below Fussing around with our hair Giggling wiggling out of our tights Chattering and clattering down all of those flights God, I'd forgotten there ever were nights Of waiting for the boys Downstairs You up there! Down in a minute! You two up there! Just keep your shirts on! Aren't you through up there? Heard you the first time! Look, are you coming or aren't you coming 'cause (Coming, we're coming, will you hold your horses, we're) Look, if we're going, we gotta get going 'cause (Coming, we're ready, be there in a jiffy) Look, they won't hold us A table at ringside all night! (All right) -Hi -Girls -Ben -Sally Boy, we're beat You look neat We saw you in the wings How are things? Did someone pass you in? Slipped a fin...To what-the-hell-is-his-name, You know, the doorman -Al? -No -Big? -Fat -Young? -Bald -Harry -Yeah -Okey-doaks -Come on, folks And where we gonna go? -A little joint I know -What? Great new show there Hey, I thought you said tonight'd be Tony's This joint is just as grand We girls got dressed for dancing at Tony's This joint is in demand Ta-ta, goodbye, you'll find us at Tony's Wait till you hear the band! You told us Tonys, that we'd go to Tonys I told you Tonys? I never said Tonys Then Ben mentioned Tonys When's Ben mentioned Tonys? There's dancing at Tony's. All right, then, we'll go Waiting around for the girls upstairs Weren't we chuckleheads then? Very young and very old hat Everybody has to go through stages like that Waiting around for the girls upstairs Thank you but never again Life was fun, but oh, so intense Everything was possible and nothing made sense Back there when one of the major events... Was waiting for the girls Waiting for the girls Waiting for the girls Upstairs
