ELAINE:
Funny thing you should have a doubt in your mind
Listen you, like a rash you got this
Shut your trap, they are gonna love you when you let fly
Funny thing, sometimes I could kick your behind
Think about a life that's maybe not this
Then you come with that old look in your eye
Like you're starved and I'm pastrami with Swiss on rye

There's not a day you don't make me crazy
But I wouldn't take back a single one
With all of the prob' life keeps throwing at you
Well Jesus, you better have fun
And though there are times when I'd gladly kill you
I put up with forty years more
You hog the bed
You give me gas
You'll knock 'em dead
My wonderful pain in the ass

BUDDY:
Funny thing, I'm the one supposed to be strong
Look at me acting like a baby
Funny thing, I thought when we met I was saving you
Funny thing, you put up with me for this long
I drive you nuts, I make a mess, well maybe
Spotting you on that night out of the blue
That's one thing I did right—still can't believe it's true

ELAINE & BUDDY:
There's not a day you don't make me crazy

BUDDY:
The ace up my sleeve, my one great success
Me, I'm a wreck, but you're still and always
The girl in the polka-dot dress

ELAINE & BUDDY:
Though there's not much fun in growing older
I'd sign up for forty years more

BUDDY:
You give me hope
You give me class

ELAINE:
You make me laugh
You take my sass

BUDDY:
I love you, signed
Your personal pain in the ass

ELAINE:
You're looking good

BUDDY:
You must be blind

ELAINE:
You think we could?

BUDDY:
Might take some time

ELAINE & BUDDY:
I love you, signed
Your wonderful pain in the ass

Mr. Saturday Night the Musical Lyrics

A Little Joy
There's a Chance
I Still Got It
Until Now
What If I Said?
What's Playin' at the Movies
Maybe It Starts With Me
Tahiti
My Wonderful Pain
Broken
Any Man But Me
Stick Around
