Lyrics
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?
Margie? Margie?
She says she really loves me—
I love you
—She says
She says she really cares
I care, I care
She says that I'm her hero—
My hero
—She says
I'm perfect, she swears
You're perfect, goddammit
She says that if we parted—
If we parted—
—She says
She says that she'll be sick
Bleah
She says she's mine forever—
Forever
—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
Sally? Sally?
She says she loves another—
Another
—She says
A fella she prefers
Furs... Furs
She says that he's her idol—
Idolidolidolidol
—She says
Ideal, she avers
You deal—"Avers"?
She says that anybody—
Buddy—Bleah!
—She says
Would suit her more than I
Ay-yay-yay
She says that I'm a washout—
Washout!
—She says
I love her so much, I could die!
Get outta here!
I've got those
"Whisper-how-I'm-better-than-I-think-but-what-do-you-know"
Blues
Bla-bla-blues!
That
"Why-do-you-keep-telling-me-I-stink-when-I-adore-you"
Feeling
Feeling!
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
Bla-bla-blues!
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?"
Blues!
