Josh's mother becomes more aware of how fast Billy and the other kids have grown. MRS. BASKIN
Two months old, he looks up at you
How his smile melts your heart
You want to say, "Stop, time"
Don't move on
Even as you watch that look is gone
Then he's two, such a little man
So alive and so smart
Again you say, "Stop, time"
Stay just this way
But the future comes and he can't stay
Nobody warns you of this parent's paradox
You want your kid to change and grow
But when he does, another child you've just begun to know
Leaves forever
Birthdays fly - 7, 8, 9, 10
Every kid he becomes you clutch and say "Stop, time"
Hold this one fast
But it's not supposed to last
And that time has come and passed
For he's growing
And he has to go
If I had only stopped the clock four weeks ago
Somehow had frozen time right there
He'd still be here, I'd see his face
I'd hold him in my arms
Safe forever
It can't be that he's reached thirteen
Now the real changes start
But he's not here
"Stop, time"
Don't rush life so
Bring him back
And then I'll let him go

The Countess Aurelia hopes for Julian, a young business executive, to make a move on Nina, a waitress. Before you half remember what her smile was like,
Before you half recall the day you found her,
Kiss her now, while she's young,
Kiss her now, while she's yours,
Kiss her now, while she needs your arms around her.
For if you let a moment come between you now,
It soon becomes a day, a year, a lifetime,
Blink your eye, turn your head, and you've lost her.
And you'll spend half your life wond'ring how.
So before you forget how you loved her,
Kiss her now,
Kiss her now,
Kiss her now.

Dolores Dante is a waitress who boasts the joys of her job. There's some as don't care
When they put down a plate
There's a sound
Not with me
When they move a chair
It'll scrape with a grate
On the ground
Not with me
I will have my hand right when I place a glass
Notice how I stand right as customers pass
Serve a demi-tass with a gesture so gentile
Or do it again 'til
It's near oriental
Da da da da dum dum
It's an art it's an art
To be a fine waitress
To see that you pleasure each guest
There's a twist to my wrist
If I let a fork drop
Or cut up a porkchop
Or serve a New York chop
It all needs be stylish and smart
That's what makes it an art
I remember one day
As I do now and then I had shakes
And down I went
There with my tray
Full of seven prime tenderloin steaks
And down I went
But I kept my poise - not one guest heard me fall
Never made a noise - not one noise food and all
If you have to crawl you give 'em what they like
You carry your tray like
It's almost ballet-like
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
It's an art, it's an art
To be a fine waitress
Each evening I treasure the test
Though my chef may be deaf
I stay diplomatic
If I give him static
He might burn the haddock
Or put too much salt in a tart
Even that is an art
Tips? HA!
Tips are important
For people like captains and barmen
For them it's a tips, see?
For me, I'm a gypsy
Just toss me a coin
And I suddenly feel like I'm Carmen
So on through the ulcer
The backache, the hot, sweaty feet
On you go
Through, "Is your knife dull, sir?"
And, "Madam wants what with her meat?"
On you go
Two AM approaches, the curtains descend
There among the roaches my act's at an end
Every night I tend to find myself crying
There's no work so trying
Or so satisfying
I tell everybody that I'm a waitress and I'm proud.
Somebody comes up to me and says, "Hey you're terrific.
How come you're just a waitress?" Ya know what I say to them?
I say, "Why? Don't you think you deserve to be served by me?"
It's an art

Edie regrets failing to succeed in New York City, whereas her mother Edith regrets nothing and takes no blame for Edie’s shortcomings. EDITH (spoken)
I have no complaints. I have everything I ever wanted.
Moist. Light.
Gaily decorated.
Every tasty morsel,
Savored, chewed and masticated.
Young. Bright.
Rich and thin and clever.
Like a second helping?
Sister, would I ever!
Sulk. Moan.
Blame it on the mother.
When I'm dead and buried
You won't get another.
As the world waltzed by
And Edie sat...
I ate the cake I had
And loved it.
Oh, I ate the cake I had,
No thanks to daddy.
I ate the cake... I had.

Aurora, a diva whose role as the Spider Woman intimidates her lover Molina, gives her deadly kiss as the curtain closes. SPIDER WOMAN
Sooner or later
You're certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street
There's no place on earth
You're likely to miss
Her kiss
Sooner or later
In sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker
She'll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you're aching to move
But you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape
Sooner or later your love will arrive
And she touches your heart
You're alert and alive
But there's only one pin
That can puncture such bliss
Her kiss
Sooner or later you bathe in success
And your minions salute
They say nothing but "YES"
But your power is empty
It fades like the mist
Once you've been kissed
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move
But you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape!

Lucy the Slut makes her seductive entrance at a nightclub show. LUCY:
I can make you feel special
When it sucks to be you.
I can make you feel special
For an hour or two.
Your life's a routine that repeats each day.
No one cares who you are or what you say.
And sometimes you feel like you're nobody,
But you can feel like somebody with me.
PRINCETON:
Wow!
LUCY:
Yeah, they're real.
When we're together the earth will shake
And the stars will fall into the sea.
So come on, baby, let down your guard.
When your date's in the bathroom,
I'll slip you my card.

For me! For me!

The Countess Aurelia hopes for Julian, a young business executive, to make a move on Nina, a waitress.
View Lyrics
Before you half remember what her smile was like, Before you half recall the day you found her, Kiss her now, while she's young, Kiss her now, while she's yours, Kiss her now, while she needs your arms around her.
For if you let a moment come between you now, It soon becomes a day, a year, a lifetime, Blink your eye, turn your head, and you've lost her. And you'll spend half your life wond'ring how. So before you forget how you loved her,
Kiss her now, Kiss her now, Kiss her now.

Carmen, a producer, reminds her estranged daughter Bambi (real name Elaine) that her main goal is to draw a profit from shows.
View Lyrics
BAMBI Bambi
CARMEN Who pisses away a lot of her hard earned bucks [pause] Elaine
BAMBI Bambi
CARMEN But let's face it your coloratura sucks Bambi, Though it breaks your mother's heart, Forget about the part, It's time for you to know Why I really backed this show.
You ask me for my motives Well, you needn't be so smart, It's a business. It isn't making history, It isn't making art, It's a business.
Shaw and Ibsen take 'em away, And don't bother me with Molière, Those Russians never pay.
So go on criticize me, Please, proceed with your attack, It's a business
I put one million in And I expect two million back, It's a business
So, what crime have i committed If I'm putting up a fight? It's a business
And I want those paying suckers Out there giving me the business Every night
(spoken) Am I getting through to you, Elaine?
BAMBI I'm sorry mother, but to me the theatre is a temple.
CARMEN (spoken) What so it should only be filled on shabbat? Give me a hand fellas. [they clap] Very funny. You know what I mean. Back me up.
(sung) The not for profit theatres Don't need to turn a buck That's not business
GUYS That's not business
CARMEN So give them Lysistrata And I wish them lots of luck I do business
GUYS She does business
CARMEN Dorky schmorky Money misspent You won't survive Yom Kippur You'll never get through Lent
I once knew a producer Whose pretension knew no bounds In the business
GUYS In the business
CARMEN He mounted Samuel Beckett I don't mean it like it sounds It was business
GUYS It was business
CARMEN So now he's down the crapper While I'm working in my prime It's a business
GUYS It's a business
CARMEN And the shows I do do business 'Cause I really know my business And I'm giving them the business, honey All the time
BAMBI But what about the great poets of the stage?
CARMEN (spoken) Honey i put on the ice man cometh and nobody cameth
(sung) To stage hands To the dressers To musicians in the pit It's a business
GUYS It's a business
CARMEN The owner of this premiss cleans up if we're a hit He's in business
GUYS He's in business
CARMEN Union workers don't work for free Hey Harry on the spotlight Blink twice if you agree
See!
I'm not devoid of culture But my feet are on the floor It's a business
GUYS It's a business
CARMEN I do the Kama Sutra With a Richard Rogers score That's good business
GUYS That's good business
CARMEN Yes, green's my favorite color, And I don't mean on the grass It's a business
GUYS It's a business
CARMEN And the shows I do do business, Yes I'm good at doin' business, And if you don't like my business sweetie,
Blow it out your—
GUYS Business. It's a business
CARMEN Business
ALL It's a business It's a business It's a business

Edie regrets failing to succeed in New York City, whereas her mother Edith regrets nothing and takes no blame for Edie’s shortcomings.
View Lyrics
EDIE (spoken) You had a rich husband; you should've stayed with him.
EDITH (spoken) I had a perfect marriage... beautiful children... terribly successful marriage, I never had a fight in my life.
EDIE (spoken) Ha!
EDITH (spoken) I had a very, very happy, satisfying life.
EDIE (spoken) Can't be done. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. You can't.
EDITH (spoken) Ohhhh yes you can. I most certainly did have my cake and eat it, down to the last crumb.
(sung) What good is cake You have but never eat? I never could Deny myself a sweet, So I sliced my life And licked my knife And ate the cake I had.
EDIE (spoken) Can't be done, I'm telling you...
EDITH Two perfect sons I thoroughly enjoyed An absent spouse And cats to fill the void, And the tri-state's best Accompanist Oh yes, I ate the cake I had.
EDIE (spoken) I'll probably be an old maid until I die. I'll sit around with cats the rest of my life.
EDITH (spoken) When are you gonna learn, Edie? You're in this world, you know! You're not out of the world!
(sung) The days are gone When money grew on trees. The money tree Came down with elm disease. But at my age, ducks, For my two bucks I'll eat the cake I have And like it. I'll eat the cake I have.
EDIE (spoken) I think the saddest thing was my not marrying. During the war, my best friend, she was a nurse with the Red Cross... she met somebody overseas in a hospital. A Marine. Lost both of his legs at Iwo Jima. Romance was inevitable, really, given the situation. But I couldn't travel. Mother wasn't well during the war, you see.
EDITH (spoken) Gerald Gettys worshipped you - and those two nice Rockefeller fellas-
EDIE (spoken) They were horrible! Horrible!
EDITH (spoken) You just didn't want to get married. Now it's all blamed on me.
EDIE (spoken) I missed out on everything.
EDITH Gripe. Groan. Point the famous finger. Life is disappointing, Put the parent through the wringer.
EDIE (spoken) I met a Count, in Greenwich Village. He was a poet and a playwright, and he said, "Edith, I want to make an honest woman out of you." I thought that was very decent.
EDITH (spoken) He didn't have a nickel in his trousers! Not a nickel!
EDIE (spoken) Mother despised him. Gave him the pink slip. To think, I coulda been a Countess - Countess Edith!
EDITH Enough with all Your celebrated loves. You had two hands. You could have modeled gloves. Is it my fault that Your cake fell flat? That you're unmarried, Bald and fat?
EDIE (spoken) Sometimes I think I have the saddest life...

View Lyrics
That pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous ass!! Now's the time for that hat. The one I've been saving for all these years.
An eighty-five dollar hat! What do you think of that! Thirteen feathers of the pigeon family! And a bird of paradise plume!
I hid this hat for four whole years. In this great big box at the foot of the bed - Right here in this very same room! But now, my spouse, it's out of the box, And I'm gonna tell you what; If I am going to go to pot - This pot is gonna be HOT!
Say - who's that racy, middle-aged lady, Peeking underneath her veil? Why, don't you know? That's Flaming Agnes. (Her husband up and left her)
Who's that pale, available matron? Underneath the peacock's tail? Why, can't you guess? That's Flaming Agnes. (Emancipated lady!)
Used to find her sittin' in the kitchen. Mousy housewife was her name. But the day her husband up and left her - Agnes started to flame!
Now they say that nothing can save her - And they blame her husband for the blazing shame of Flaming Agnes! (vulgar dance) Fresh!
Used to find her tendin' to the kiddies; Up to here in Cream of Wheat! But the day her husband up and left her, That's the day that Agnes turned the heat one! Now she flames from night till early mornin'! While he slaves to raise the alimony He must pay, to Flaming Agnes!
