lirik lagu william finn - prologue: calamari
[gordon]
sorry i’m late, rhoda
[rhoda, spoken]
you’re always late
[gordon]
i was
working on the spring song
is he angry that he doesn’t have the spring song yet?
i bet
[rhoda, spoken]
no, he’s angry that he doesn’t have the yes song
[gordon]
i hate the yes song
i hate the spring song
i hate
mr. bungee and this job
god, it’s bad
working on mr. bungee’s lily pad–
[waitress, spoken]
y’all work for mr. bungee? i love that tv show!
(sung)
the specials today
though not many are especially good
first the fish of the day:
calamari!
which isn’t a fish
but lives in the sea
as said in the dish
it happens to be the fish
of the day
okay
plus there’s ziti
with a sauce that’s meaty
it’s fun!
[gordon & rhoda, spoken]
fun?
[waitress]
and there’s a lot
and that’s the specials!
(spoken)
thank you!
[gordon, spoken]
i’ll have the ziti and a diet c-ke
[rhoda, spoken]
uh, okay, and i will have the goat cheese salad–no cheese
[gordon, spoken]
oh, thank you
[rhoda, spoken]
so, talk to me!
[gordon]
he’s taking up the brunt of my time
i don’t have time to write
my real stuff
but i feel stuff
i can’t express
what i mean to convey
so of course i didn’t
write enough today!
i hate mr. bungee
why does mr. bungee hate me?
oh, god!
as you can tell
i don’t write well for frogs! [rhoda, spoken]
it’s called a job
you’re a mess!
if you don’t keep writing you’ll be shown the door
you know mr. bungee hates you
i think he hates you more
first off:
you’ve gotta finish a song!
you scoff
but dammit write the spring song
write the yes song
don’t let your career
go to the dogs!
(mr. bungee enters.)
[mr. bungee]
mr. bungee is aquatic
and despotic!
mr. bungee’s oceanic
and satanic!
nyahaha!
mr. bungee’s said to be
tyrannical at times
but mr. bungee always rhymes!
whee!
(spoken)
oh, sure!
ha!
him, a broadway show?
i don’t think so! [gordon, spoken]
i’m having frog hallucinations
he’s not here right now, is he?
[waitress]
i love mr. bungee
yes indeed-y
here’s your ziti
i love mr. bungee
when he makes his scenes
i love mr. bun–
did someone order scallopini?
i love mr. bungee
here’s your diet c-ke
and here’s your greens!
i love mr. bungee
i love mr. bungee!
[rhoda]
first write your song then next
you’ll write the epic
first kids, tv, then next
the broadway shows
it’s a rocky road from lily pad
to where you want to get to, dear, but
rhoda always knows…
[gordon]
inside me i feel washed up and through
writing this sh-t’s k!lled my talent
and whatever’s left to k!ll
then bungee will grind that down to squat!
i used to be!
i was!
i once was but i’m
not!
(spoken)
oh my…
not a…
(sung)
something is wrong
something is wrong
(spoken)
something is very, very, very–
wrong [rhoda, spoken]
oh, come on, gordon
that is not true!
(sung)
you’re still!
i don’t agree!
(spoken)
hey!
hey, come on, sit down
gordon, are you ok?
gordon, you’re scaring me…
(gordon collapses, his head hitting his plate.)
