The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - Dirty Laundry Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
GINA:
Now, heaven knows I'm not one to talk out of school.
GRETA (spoken): Well, of course not.
GINA:
But things have gone a little too far.
GRETA (spoken): What things are those, gina?
GINA:
Van horne's been cozy now with not one,
dear, but three.
GRETA (spoken): You don't say.
GINA:
And not too hard to guess who they are.
GRETA:
Just a bit odd.
GINA:
Downright bizarre.
BRENDA (spoken): good morning, girls.
GINA (spoken): brenda . . .
GRETA:
Say have you heard the story of what's come to pass
BRENDA (spoken): Oh, I'm not one for gossip.
GRETA / GINA:
Deep, deep inside the old lenox place.
BRENDA (spoken):
I heard it was actually out on the tennis court.
GRETA / GINA:
Those wanton tr amps have clearly abandoned all sense.
BRENDA (spoken): sense? Oh please!
WOMEN:
How long must we endure this disgr ace?
BRENDA / GINA / GRETA:
Dirty laundry, ladies;
That's what I see.
Dirty laundry, ladies;
As foul as foul can be.
+ WOMEN:
Our standards fading.
Our mor als in decline.
With such dirty laundry on the line.
ALEXANDRA / JANE / SUKIE (spoken): Ladies.
WOMEN (spoken): Ladies.
GRETA:
How nice to see you out and about with the sun.
GINA:
Come chat for a spell.
BRENDA:
Were you just headed back from the bay?
MARGE:
Now, why on earth would they be down there?
REBECCA:
That's such a lovely dress that you're wearing, my dear.
GRETA:
Familiar as well.
GINA:
Weren't you just wearing that yesterday?
MARGE:
Good heavens, what a flagr ant display . . .
WOMEN:
Dirty laundry, people;
Fresh from the streets.
Dirty laundry, sordid
Torn slips and rumpled sheets.
Our standards fading.
Our mor als in decline.
With such dirty laundry on the line.
FELICIA:
Have your fun, girls, while you may.
GINA / GRETA:
No harm done; it's just a game.
FELICIA:
Trouble's clearly on its way.
MEN:
Hang your heads, for shame, for shame.
FELICIA:
The tide's washed in . . .
MEN:
Sadly so.
FELICIA:
. . . A wealth of sin.
WOMEN:
Oh!
FELICIA:
We're falling to the depths,
The lowest of all lows,
+ TOWNSPEOPLE:
And what comes next,
Well, heaven only knows – !
ALL: (sotto voce.)
Dirty laundry, neighbors;
That's what this is.
Dirty laundry, labeled;
FELICIA:
“Hers, hers and hers and his.”
ALL:
Just when you're thinking
It's dealt with, done and gone,
The dirty laundry just goes . . .
ALL:
Dirty laundry, people;
Good gr acious me.
Dirty laundry that's been
Aired out for all to see.
Just when you're thinking
It's dealt with done and gone –
FELICIA (spoken): Jennifer!
JENNIFER (spoken): Mother!
FELICIA (spoken): Inside, young lady.
MICHAEL (spoken): Mrs. Gabriel, I just wanted . . .
FELICIA (spoken): Yes, michael,
I think we all know what you wanted.
The acorn Never falls far from the tree.
JENNIFER (spoken): But mother . . .
FELICIA (spoken): Back to the house,
Jennifer, and start packing.
We're taking you to stanford first thing tomorrow morning.
Clyde!
ALL:
The dirty laundry just goes on
And on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And . . .
GROUP ONE: GROUP TWO:
Dirty laundry, people; Dirty laundry
Good gr acious me. On the line.
Dirty laundry, that's been Good gr acious me.
Aired out for all to see. Aired out for all to see.
Our standards fading. What can we do
Our mor als in decline. To stem this decline?
GROUP ONE:
Ev'ry line
We drew in dare . . .
GROUP TWO:
They went and crossed
Without a care.
ALL:
No, there's no mistaking their design.
So spread the news along the vine
