2023 Off-Broadway
Here We Are the Musical - The Road 1 (Part 3) Only just the end of the world Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
FRITZ:
Only just the end of the world
That's what!
Nothing but the end of the world
Comes the revolution—
Don't laugh! It's coming!
Can't you hear the sound
Of that distant drumming?
Once the revolution is up
And humming
That'll be the end of the world
Your world:
The world of private jets
And screening rooms
And hundred-thousand-bucks-an-ounce
Designer perfumes
The world of Wall Street thieves
And fashionistas
And Lamborghinis and Vodkatinis
It's all so over!
Don't you know that?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Oh, Fritz — a little joy, per favavere!
Life is pleasure!
We have this day
We have our charmful circle
MARIANNE: (spoken)
You mean charmed
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
It's my English
But why not?
Call us charmful
And rejoice, Fritz, rejoice!
FRITZ:
Wake up, it's the end of the world,
You morons
Welcome to the end of
Power brokers and hydrofractors
And underpaid teachers
And overpaid actors
And disappearing polar bears
And bought-and-sold elections
And infinity pools
And Damien Hirsts
And phony bank accounts—
With safe deposit boxes in
Corrupt banana rat holes
Like Moranda!
They're gonna blow your mergers
And your laptops
And your bitcoins
All to bits!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Fritz
MARIANNE: (spoken)
And abracadabra,
Here's Café Everything!
MARIANNE, PAUL, CLAUDIA,
LEO & RAFFAEL:
What a perfect day
FRITZ:
What a perfect day
