Ed, at his own memorial
God, Lucy, what a thought!
I thought I'd drop by
To hear the people gushing
'Cause after you die
They always get you blushing
So I've made a Thornton Wilder return
Give me a good gushy goodbye
'Cause even inside of an urn
I stay light on my feet
I stay light on my feet
And give them that da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
(Lucy, wait till you see this picture of Ed!)
I stay light on my feet
I stay light on my feet
And hit 'em with shoo-bop-doo-wop
Shoo-bop-doo-wop, shoo-bop-doo-waaaa
(Oh my God, I gave him that tie!)
When Dame Fortune tosses me a curve
I never give away to despair
I hang on with every little nerve
Try to keep my balance as I dangle in the air
But I land right on my feet
I land right on my feet
And go with that da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da da
(Felicia! You and Ed had so much history
I hope we can be friends)
(Don't you have your own friends?)
Flat-foot floogies finish up last
Most of them are livin' on Spam
That's why light on my feet is what I am
(Lehman!) (Charlie! I'm gonna miss him)
(Yeah, I'm gonna miss him not talkin' to me)
And give 'em that da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
(Felicia! Heard about your record deal on Entertainment Tonight)
(Mona, how sweet
Entertainment Tonight is for people too stupid to read "People")
And hit 'em with shoo-bop-doo-wop
Shoo-bop-doo-wop, shoo-bop-doo-waaa
(Where's Sophie?)
(On that list of people Ed wasn't talking to)
(Who isn't?)
(So talented!)
(He was blocked) (Me too! It's what's been holding me back for years!)
I hang on with every little nerve
Tryin' to keep my balance as I dangle in the air
(My best friend. I taught him all about six-eight time
But then I always spend too much time helping friends
It's what's been holding me back for years)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
(People say AIDS)
(Never!) (He was straight!)
(I know)
Flat-foot floogies finish up last
Most of them are livin' on Spam
(No one who writes a hit musical is straight!)
(That's what's been holding me back!)
(For years?!)
That's why light on my feet is what I am
Time now for singing my praises
I'm here to drink it in
Hit me with flattering phrases
It's gonna be sweet, gonna be sweet
Let it begin
(Sophie should be here)
(Ed didn't want her!)
(Not after that thing between them)
(He cut her out)
Guys, let's face it
He - He was crazy!
He was maddening!
Short and bald
But kind of sexy
(Thank you!)
He - He burned with ambition
But after he made it
He got stalled
(Hey, guys, this is my memorial!)
Had a list of phobias that anyone with phobias would envy
Everything with Eddie would be on and off and on and off again
He wasted his potential!
He was driven
He could charm you
He could scold
You could say you knew him if you knew him
But you knew that you were guessing
Someone who was terrified of failure
And suspicious of success
(Oh, I get it!
They're just stricken with grief
They're just stricken with grief)
He'd be such a pussycat
And then he'd snap!
Leave you hanging for his goddamn nap!
(This is beyond belief
This is beyond belief)
He was unfulfilled
He was filled with doubt
He was more than Ed could ever figure out
And he drove us crazy!
He enraged and he enthralled
Scared of everything
So neurotic and temperamental
A hypochondriac
After "Chorus Line"
Something happened 'cause
After "Chorus Line"
Nothing happened
After "Chorus Line"
After "Chorus Line"
After "Chorus Line"
After "Chorus Line"
After "Chorus Line"
After "Chorus Line"
(Stop!)
