Falsettos Lyrics

This Had Better Come to a Stop

WHIZZER

Late for dinner, late again

WHIZZER & TRINA

Late for dinner, late again

WHIZZER, MARVIN, JASON, & TRINA

Late for dinner, late again

Late for dinner, late, late, late, late

Late for dinner, late again

Late for dinner, late again

Late for dinner, late again

Late for dinner, late, late, late, late

MARVIN

Whizzer's supposed to always be here

Making dinner, set to screw

That's what pretty boys should do

Check their hairlines, make the dinner

And love me

This is going nowhere and fast, Whizzer

This little thing that we have will not last

Don't feel responsible

After all, it's through

WHIZZER

I'm not responsible

MARVIN

Life can be wonderful

Isn't this wonderful?

And this had better come to a stop, Whizzer

Now, Whizzer

Ciao, Whizzer

Bend

This had better come to an end

TRINA

I was supposed to make the dinner

Make it pretty on his plate

Every wife should pull her weight

Have it ready, make it tasty

And love him

This had better come to a stop, doctor

This has been a tragic and horrible flop

MENDEL

Don't feel responsible

After all, it's through

TRINA

Who is responsible?

MENDEL

Don't ask me questions!

I'm frightened of questions

But grateful that it's come to a stop, Trina

Smile, Trina

I'll help you mend

WHIZZER & TRINA

I met this man today

He wasn't very smart

But he was rich, Marvin

Which, Marvin

Do you prefer I lust for—

Brains or money?

MARVIN

Brains

I'm not so rich

But, hell, I'm smart
