about

from the musical, "Total Family Massage," by John Paul Sharp.

lyrics

JERALD:
IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOU HAPPY, HERE WITH YOUR MAN
BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
I THOUGHT YOU’D LEARN A THING FROM ME AN’ YOUR MOM
MARRIAGE IS JUST PLAIN WRONG
AND JUST PLAIN DUMB.

I SPENT TWELVE YEARS OF MY LIFE
WITH A WOMAN WHO DON’T LIKE SEX.
I HAD YOU KIDS, GOT A DIVORCE,
AND I HAVEN’T LOOKED BACK SINCE!

ANYWAY, RAISE YOUR BOOZE -
LISTEN UP! I GOT GOOD NEWS!
I SOLD MY HOUSE! EV’RYTHING I OWN!
AND NOW I’M HERE TO CALL SEATTLE MY NEW HOME!

MARIE:
(gasping)
WHAT?! Is this some kind of a sick joke?

JERALD:
Hell, no! I’m the real deal!

WHO KNOWS WHAT TROUBLE WE WILL FIND IN THIS TOWN!
MAKE MONEY AND FOOL AROUND!
I MAY BE SEVENTY-FOUR, BUT I STILL GOT THAT DRIVE,
I’M FEELING SO ALIVE,
I COULD PARTY EVERY NIGHT!

JUST THINK OF ALL OF THE TIMES WE DIDN’T SPEND TOGETHER.
NOW WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES LIKE BIRDS OF A FEATHER!

I JUST NEED A COUCH
UNTIL I FIND A PLACE.
SET MYSELF UP. HAVE US SOME FUN.
AND SPEND MY TWILIGHT YEARS AROUND MY SON.
