The Great Gatsby the Musical - Made to Last Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
TOM:
I suppose the latest thing
The latest thrill
Is to watch Mr. Nobody from "Nowhere-Ville"
Make love to your wife and just sit still
If that's the plan
You can count me out
That's the kind of progress
I can do without
DAISY: (spoken)
Tom, enough
GATSBY:
Oh, don't you know the latest thing
The beans to spill-
DAISY: (spoken)
Jay-
GATSBY:
Is your wife never loved you
And she never will
So don't you die upon that hill
We met and fell in love five years ago
It makes me laugh to think you didn't know
TOM: (spoken)
I didn't know Daisy then,
And I'll be damned if you got within a mile
Of her unless you brought groceries
To the back door
GATSBY:
You're the one who double-crossed her
TOM:
All this from a cheap impostor
GATSBY:
Sorry, but I fear you've lost her
TOM:
He's slick and he's fast and he'll run out of gas
None of this was made to last
A quick little fling that will quietly pass
None of this was made to last
JORDAN: (spoken)
You're one to talk about flings.
Nick, did Tom ever tell you why they really left Chicago?
He ripped the fender off his car
And the chambermaid with him broke her arm
TOM: (spoken)
Stay out of it!
JORDAN:
Even for you, that was a scandal for the ages
And how much did you pay
To stay off the social pages?
TOM:
Every so often I might go off on a spree
DAISY: (spoken)
A spree?
TOM:
I make a fool of myself
DAISY: (spoken)
No, Tom
(sung)
You make a fool of me
JORDAN:
You leave a trail of lies that never ends
TOM:
I said stay out of it
NICK CARRAWAY:
We all know, so why pretend?
TOM:
And here I thought that we were friends
I see now this is a conspiracy
JORDAN: (spoken)
Oh, go chase yourself!
GATSBY:
Old sport, it's time to face reality
Daisy is leaving you
TOM:
Is that your estimation?
GATSBY:
She doesn't love you
TOM:
I love how all your money reeks of desperation
GATSBY:
Go on and tell him
TOM:
You've piles of cash
To buy some cheap panache and charm
GATSBY:
That you're through
TOM:
But who bought Daisy's diamond ring
And put a baby in her arms?
Does Daisy know the kind of work you do?
That Sing Sing's saving its best cell for you
This dirty crook has carved out quite a niche
He's selling bootleg booze and getting filthy rich
GATSBY: (spoken)
He's lying!
(sung)
Daisy, tell him
TOM:
He's slick and he's fast
And he'll run out of gas
None of this was made to last
JORDAN & NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY:
You never loved him
TOM:
A parlor trick,
A make-believe past
None of this was made to last
JORDAN & NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY:
Daisy, tell him
TOM:
He's slick and he's fast
And he'll run out of gas
None of this was made to last
JORDAN & NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY:
She never loved him
TOM:
A parlor trick, a make-believe past
None of this was made to last
JORDAN & NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY:
Tell him
TOM:
None of this was
GATSBY:
Tell him
TOM:
None of this was
GATSBY:
Tell him
TOM:
None of this was
JORDAN & NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY: (spoken)
Tell him
TOM:
None of this was
