Falsettos Lyrics

Unlikely Lovers

MARVIN

Who'd believe that we two

Would end up as lovers?

WHIZZER

Do you want me to reply?

MARVIN

Him and me, you and I

Passionately lovers

WHIZZER

Please don't get morbid

MARVIN

Right

WHIZZER

It's just—

MARVIN

Don't fight

WHIZZER

That I haven't died yet

MARVIN

Just stop it

WHIZZER

I'm sick, but kicking

MARVIN

Geez

WHIZZER

Alright

MARVIN

Louise

WHIZZER

Good night

MARVIN

I'm staying here in this spot

Whether you want me to or not

I'm staying

Here I am, by your side

One old horny lover

WHIZZER

Please go home and don't be scared

MARVIN

What's the fuss? I'm not scared

What good is a lover who's scared?

Hit me if you need to

Slap my face or hold me till winter

Oh baby, please do

I love you, too

My lover

WHIZZER

Marvin, just go home and turn on TV

Drink a little something till you're dead

Think of me around

Sleeping soundly in our bed

Marvin, did you hear what I said?

MARVIN

Shut your mouth, go to sleep

Time I met a sailor

Are you sleeping yet or...?

What is what? Whizzer

But I can't help but feeling I've failed

Let's be scared together

Let's pretend that nothing is awful

WHIZZER

There's nothing to fear

MARVIN

There's nothing to fear

WHIZZER

Just stay right here

MARVIN & WHIZZER

I love you

Dr. Charlotte and Cordelia enter

CHARLOTTE

Shhh. Maybe he's tired

CORDELIA

Shhh. Maybe he's waiting for us

CHARLOTTE

Shhh. Maybe he's waiting for a visit

CHARLOTTE & CORDELIA

Is it a bad time? We'll come back

If it's a bad time, we'll come back

We'll come in

MARVIN

Look at us, four old friends

Four unlikely lovers

CORDELIA

We don't know what time will bring

WHIZZER

I've a clue

MARVIN

I have too

CHARLOTTE & CORDELIA

Let's look like we haven't

MARVIN, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA

And each say nothing

WHIZZER

Sky!

CHARLOTTE

It's blue!

MARVIN

I love the sky!

CORDELIA

I love the trees!

MARVIN

I love bad weather!

CHARLOTTE

I love the earth beneath my feet!

WHIZZER

I love friends that hover!

MARVIN, WHIZZER, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA

Gee, we love to eat

And we need something sweet

To love!

What a group we four are

Four unlikely lovers

And we vow that we will

Buy the farm, arm in arm

Four unlikely lovers with heart

Let's be scared together

Let's pretend that nothing is awful

WHIZZER, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA

There's nothing to fear

MARVIN

There's nothing to fear

WHIZZER, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA

Just stay right here

(Whizzer to Marvin, Charlotte to Cordelia)

I love you

MARVIN (to Whizzer)

I love you

WHIZZER, CHARLOTTE, AND CORDELIA (Charlotte/Cordelia to Marvin/Whizzer)

I love you

MARVIN (to Charlotte, Cordelia, and Whizzer)

I love you

MARVIN, WHIZZER, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA

Who'd have thought that we four

Would end up as lovers
