Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Murray
I am out here, Murray
And I am not discussing this anymore
You don't want to buy me the fur?
Well, that's just fine, Murray
It's not like I'm asking for much
Since you won't buy me the dog
Or the beach house in Quogue
As if you didn't have the money
What else is new?
I'm not gonna fight for a coat
So never mind, Murray
If that's what's important to you
At least I know where I stand
So, Murray, strike up the band
Because the time has come for action
Here's what I'll do
[Verse 2]
Clearly I'm not wanted anymore
Now I'm not so young and beautiful
That's okay, I've faced defeat before
I'm not gonna kvetch and I'm not gonna cry
It's not gonna get me what I wanted so I'm simply gonna
[Verse 3]
Take one step, one tiny step, and, Murray
Just one step, I'll be free
One small step, just so you shouldn't worry
I'll be free and you'll be rid of me
Isn't that easy, Murray? Watch me
You think this is maybe a joke?
Well, it's no joke, Murray
Murray
[Verse 4]
It looks like they're forming a crowd
Like eighty-five at the most
Still front page of the Post
Ma, I think it's Maury Povich
And Connie, too!
Oh, hi, Connie!
[Verse 5]
Now you'll finally make your mother proud
Since she never liked me anyway
[Verse 6]
Look, she's throwing diamonds to the crowd
Just say the word and I'll come back inside
But until then I'll be happy just to know
That I can always go and
[Verse 7]
Take one step, one tiny step, and, Murray
One small step, adios
Just one step, honey, you'd better hurry
Oh, yes, sir
Better give up that fur
Take it from me, old Murray
Here I
[Verse 8]
Whoops, almost fell, Murray
The mother of your children
Splattered across Fifth Avenue
In a bloody heap, Murray
And it's all your fault
[Verse 9]
Yes, it's you who made the money
'Cause it's you who owns the store
So if you don't wanna spend it, that's your right
But it's you who bought the penthouse
On the fifty-seventh floor
So goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight!
[Verse 10]
You think I don't know about her?
Well, I do, Murray
You think I don't know about that
Or the things that you say
To your friends every day
I'm embarrassing, I'm fat
I'm demanding, and controlling
Or whatever
Perhaps it's true
[Verse 11]
Here's the place where I get what I've earned
Why keep prying, why be miserable?
Look-it, Murray somebody's concerned!
Trust in the wind and I'll land in the crowd
No more complaining, I'm trashy and loud!
What a sensational fucking experience
Finally, Murray, I'm getting attention!
[Verse 12]
And just one step!
Look at where one step leads you!
One small step takes you high
Hey, just one step
Down from the man who needs you
Fuck the fur!
Just send it down to her!
Oh, fair thee well, and Murray, watch me fly!
[Verse 13]
Murray?
Oh, I'm serious, Murray
Murray!
