Jeanette's Showbiz Number - The Full Monty Ensemble/Kathleen Freeman[00:00:00]
This gig's an echo of that time with buddy Greco[00:00:08]
When we did the desert inn in '59[00:00:12]
The dancing girls were clunky[00:00:17]
The drummer was a junkie[00:00:19]
But we pulled the act together[00:00:22]
And we killed 'em every time[00:00:23]
That having been said frankly[00:00:27]
I think that things are worse here[00:00:29]
That guy and his head are gonna need[00:00:35]
Some kind of nurse here[00:00:37]
It's like a friggin' curse here[00:00:39]
Things could be better[00:00:42]
So sue me it's the truth[00:00:44]
Things could be better 'round here[00:00:47]
It's an attitude problem seen it a million times[00:00:50]
I was subbing with Stan Kenton[00:00:54]
In this seedy club in Trenton[00:00:56]
When I heard my third divorce[00:00:58]
Had just gone through[00:01:00]
I could torn my heart out[00:01:03]
But instead I got my chart out[00:01:05]
And I gave 'em all a lesson[00:01:08]
In the way to play the blues[00:01:10]
That having been said[00:01:13]
Something is even more morose here[00:01:15]
Just looking ahead's making me feel[00:01:18]
Real gross here[00:01:21]
We aren't even close here[00:01:23]
Things could be better[00:01:25]
Could they get any worse I don't think so[00:01:27]
Things could be better 'round here[00:01:30]
It's like a putz museum[00:01:34]
A showbiz mausoleum[00:01:37]
Things could be better 'round here[00:01:40]
There's a problem with the timing[00:01:43]
There's a problem with the groove[00:01:44]
There's an overwhelming lethargy[00:01:47]
Nothing can improve[00:01:49]
You can sense defeat get closer[00:01:51]
Every time they add a move[00:01:54]
There's only six days[00:02:02]
Where am I[00:02:04]
Don't worry I'll get it[00:02:06]
Who are you[00:02:11]
This guys needs a helmet[00:02:13]
That guy needs some loop[00:02:15]
And I could use some genital delivered in a hypo[00:02:17]
But I don't wanna gripe[00:02:22]
Oh[00:02:24]
Things could be better[00:02:24]
You bet your ass they could[00:02:26]
Things could be better 'round here[00:02:29]
Now let me just tell you something[00:02:34]
I've played for hoofers who can't hoof[00:02:36]
I've played for tone deaf singers[00:02:39]
And once when I insulted frank[00:02:41]
I played with broken fingers[00:02:44]
I've paid my dues[00:02:46]
I know the blues[00:02:47]
Of this I can assure you[00:02:48]
So now I'll say it one last time[00:02:53]
'Cause I don't want to bore you[00:02:56]
I've got some bad news for you[00:02:58]
Things could be better[00:03:01]
They really could be better[00:03:03]
They could be better[00:03:05]
Let's face it we suck[00:03:09]
We're deep down in the ditch man[00:03:11]
This showbiz is a bitch man[00:03:13]
Things could be better[00:03:15]
We could be better[00:03:18]
Things could be better 'round[00:03:21]
You know what Kate smith used to say about a bad rehearsal[00:03:25]
Usually means a bad performance[00:03:28]
Here[00:03:30]
