[00:00.690]The Ladies Who Lunch - Stephen Sondheim
[00:12.860]Here's to the ladies who lunch
[00:16.920]
[00:18.230]Everybody laugh.
[00:19.970]
[00:24.110]Lounging in their caftans
[00:26.240]And planning a brunch
[00:28.540]
[00:29.670]On their own behalf.
[00:31.660]
[00:37.400]Off to the gym,
[00:38.650]
[00:39.590]Then to a fitting,
[00:41.210]
[00:42.460]Claiming they're fat.
[00:44.640]
[00:47.260]And looking grim,
[00:48.390]
[00:49.510]'Cause they've been sitting
[00:50.880]
[00:51.760]Choosing a hat.
[00:53.560]
[00:56.440]Does anyone still wear a hat?
[00:58.410]
[01:03.720]I'll drink to that.
[01:04.540]
[01:08.430]here's to the girls who stays smart
[01:10.680]
[01:11.420]Aren't they a gas?
[01:12.920]
[01:15.310]Rushing to their classes
[01:16.820]In optical art,
[01:18.570]
[01:19.380]Wishing it would pass.
[01:21.120]
[01:24.500]Another long exhausting day,
[01:27.250]
[01:28.240]Another thousand dollars,
[01:30.470]
[01:32.090]A matinee, a Pinter play,
[01:34.590]
[01:35.720]Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.
[01:37.990]I'll drink to that.
[01:40.250]
[01:41.810]And one for Mahler!
[01:43.290]
[01:46.930]here's to the girls who play wife
[01:48.980]
[01:49.720]Aren't they too much?
[01:51.660]
[01:53.570]Keeping house but clutching
[01:54.620]A copy of LIFE,
[01:57.190]Just to keep in touch.
[01:58.630]
[02:01.650]The ones who follow the rules,
[02:04.520]
[02:05.330]And meet themselves at the schools,
[02:08.090]
[02:08.970]Too busy to know that they're fools.
[02:11.970]Aren't they a gem?
[02:15.830]I'll drink to them!
[02:18.330]
[02:19.080]Let's all drink to them!
[02:23.280]
[02:36.120]And here's to the girls who just watch--
[02:38.690]
[02:39.320]Aren't they the best?
[02:41.190]
[02:43.180]When they get depressed,
[02:44.440]It's a bottle of Scotch,
[02:46.190]
[02:46.940]Plus a little jest.
[02:48.750]
[02:52.260]Another chance to disapprove,
[02:54.640]
[02:55.950]Another brilliant zinger,
[02:57.940]
[02:59.630]Another reason not to move,
[03:03.140]Another vodka stinger.
[03:05.820]I'll drink to that.
[03:10.970]
[03:14.060]So here's to the girls on the go--
[03:16.370]
[03:17.280]Everybody tries.
[03:18.970]
[03:20.840]Look into their eyes,
[03:22.220]And you'll see what they know:
[03:23.960]
[03:24.710]Everybody dies.
[03:28.990]A toast to that invincible bunch,
[03:31.290]
[03:32.980]The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
[03:35.210]
[03:36.400]Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--
[03:39.380]Everybody rise!
[03:43.570]
[03:44.130]Rise!
[03:46.990]
[03:47.500]Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
