Two’s Company Stephen Schwartz

TWO'S COMPANY

HEY, YOU WITH THE SORROWFUL GAZE
YOU BETTER START SINGING THE BLUES…
YOU'RE DUE FOR ONE OF THOSE DAYS
YOU'RE IN FOR A PSYCHOLOGICAL BRUISE
I HATE TO SPEAK IN CLICHES
STILL WHAT CAN I SAY, BUT…
IT'S TIME TO TROT OUT THAT WELL-WORN PHARASE
(HERE WE GO)
"TWO'S COMPANY, AND THREE IS A YOU-KNOW-WHAT…"

I'LL BET YOU A MILLION LIRA
HONEY YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR A
SEE-YA-LATER IF YOU EVER HEARD ONE
TWO'S COMPANY, AND LITTLE LADY, YOU'RE THE THIRD ONE
(WAVE GOOD-BYE)

IT'S A FAMOUS IF UNWRITTEN LAW
THAT WHEN A MAN IS SMITTEN
HOW HE TREATS HIS OTHER FRIENDS IS OBSCENE
TWO'S COMPANY, AND YOU ARE SUDDENLY A ONE-GIRL MOB SCENE

AIN'T IT ROTTEN FEELIN' LIKE A SECOND FIDDLE
A THIRD NOSTRIL
A FOURTH MUSKETEER?
AIN'T IT ROTTEN FEELIN' LIKE A FIFTH WHEEL
WELL, YOUR SIXTH SENSE OUGHTA TELL YOU DEAR
BEFORE THE HINTS GET ANY LOUDER
NOW'S THE TIME TO TAKE A POWDER
YOU'RE ABOUT AS WELCOME AS A SKUNK AT A TEA
TWO'S COMPANY, WHICH MAKES YOU NOTHIN' BUT A
C – R – O – W – D!
