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:
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 up on 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 the groceries
To the back door.
GATSBY:
You’re the one who double-crossed her.
TOM:
All this from a cheap imposter
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:
No, Tom, you make a fool of me!
JORDAN:
You leave a trail of lies that never ends
TOM: (spoken)
I said stay out of it!
NICK:
We all know so why pretend
TOM:
And here I thought
That we were friends
I see now this is a conspiracy
JORDAN: (spoken)
Go chase yourself.
GATSBY:
Old sport it’s time to face reality
Daisy's leaving you
TOM:
- Is that your estimation?
GATSBY:
She doesn't love you
TOM:
I love how all new money reeks of desperation
GATSBY:
Go on and tell him
TOM:
You flash your 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?
TOM:
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
NICK:
She decides what's made to last
GATSBY:
You never loved him
JORDAN:
She decides what's made to last
TOM:
A parlor trick
With a make-believe past
None of this was made
To last
JORDAN:
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
NICK & JORDAN:
She decides what’s made to last
GATSBY:
She never loved him
NICK & JORDAN:
She decides what’s made to last
TOM:
He’s slick and he’s fast
And he’ll run out of gas
None of this was made to last
A parlor trick with a make-believe past
None of this was
GATSBY:
Tell him
NICK & JORDAN:
She decides what's made to last
TOM:
None of this was
GATSBY:
Tell him
NICK & JORDAN:
She decides what's made to last
TOM:
None of this was
GATSBY:
Tell him
NICK & JORDAN:
She decides what's made to last
