《Jeanette’s Showbiz Number》歌词

[00:00:00] Jeanette's Showbiz Number - The Full Monty Ensemble/Kathleen Freeman

[00:00:08] This gig's an echo of that time with buddy Greco

[00:00:12] When we did the desert inn in '59

[00:00:17] The dancing girls were clunky

[00:00:19] The drummer was a junkie

[00:00:22] But we pulled the act together

[00:00:23] And we killed 'em every time

[00:00:27] That having been said frankly

[00:00:29] I think that things are worse here

[00:00:35] That guy and his head are gonna need

[00:00:37] Some kind of nurse here

[00:00:39] It's like a friggin' curse here

[00:00:42] Things could be better

[00:00:44] So sue me it's the truth

[00:00:47] Things could be better 'round here

[00:00:50] It's an attitude problem seen it a million times

[00:00:54] I was subbing with Stan Kenton

[00:00:56] In this seedy club in Trenton

[00:00:58] When I heard my third divorce

[00:01:00] Had just gone through

[00:01:03] I could torn my heart out

[00:01:05] But instead I got my chart out

[00:01:08] And I gave 'em all a lesson

[00:01:10] In the way to play the blues

[00:01:13] That having been said

[00:01:15] Something is even more morose here

[00:01:18] Just looking ahead's making me feel

[00:01:21] Real gross here

[00:01:23] We aren't even close here

[00:01:25] Things could be better

[00:01:27] Could they get any worse I don't think so

[00:01:30] Things could be better 'round here

[00:01:34] It's like a putz museum

[00:01:37] A showbiz mausoleum

[00:01:40] Things could be better 'round here

[00:01:43] There's a problem with the timing

[00:01:44] There's a problem with the groove

[00:01:47] There's an overwhelming lethargy

[00:01:49] Nothing can improve

[00:01:51] You can sense defeat get closer

[00:01:54] Every time they add a move

[00:02:02] There's only six days

[00:02:04] Where am I

[00:02:06] Don't worry I'll get it

[00:02:11] Who are you

[00:02:13] This guys needs a helmet

[00:02:15] That guy needs some loop

[00:02:17] And I could use some genital delivered in a hypo

[00:02:22] But I don't wanna gripe

[00:02:24] Oh

[00:02:24] Things could be better

[00:02:26] You bet your ass they could

[00:02:29] Things could be better 'round here

[00:02:34] Now let me just tell you something

[00:02:36] I've played for hoofers who can't hoof

[00:02:39] I've played for tone deaf singers

[00:02:41] And once when I insulted frank

[00:02:44] I played with broken fingers

[00:02:46] I've paid my dues

[00:02:47] I know the blues

[00:02:48] Of this I can assure you

[00:02:53] So now I'll say it one last time

[00:02:56] 'Cause I don't want to bore you

[00:02:58] I've got some bad news for you

[00:03:01] Things could be better

[00:03:03] They really could be better

[00:03:05] They could be better

[00:03:09] Let's face it we suck

[00:03:11] We're deep down in the ditch man

[00:03:13] This showbiz is a bitch man

[00:03:15] Things could be better

[00:03:18] We could be better

[00:03:21] Things could be better 'round

[00:03:25] You know what Kate smith used to say about a bad rehearsal

[00:03:28] Usually means a bad performance

[00:03:30] Here
