FRIEND So you've made a mistake So you're singing the blues So you'll take some time Go visit some places — MARY You've got to be somewhere Where there's nothing to remind you — Right? FRIEND What you need is a break — I'll arrange a nice cruise You'll relax a bit and See some new faces... CHARLEY AND MARY You've got to do something — Only never look behind you FRIENDS Right? Best thing that ever could have happened Right So you'll sit in the sun You'll come back with a tan Then we'll do that show You've always been talking — The side is retired So we start another inning — Right? On a boat is such fun — You'll come back a changed man — I've had lots of guests and No one's squawking CHARLEY AND MARY Feels like an ending But it's really a beginning — Right? FRIENDS Best thing that ever could have happened I say, best thing that ever could have happened — Best thing that ever could have happened — One more thing, it was all getting much too complicated FRANK Right MARY All right Now you know: Life is crummy Well, now you know I mean, big surprise: People love you and tell you lies Bricks can tumble from clear blue skies Put your dimple down Now you know Okay, there you go — That's the sum of it Now you know It's called flowers wilt It's called apples rot It's called thieves get rich And saints get shot It's called God don't answer prayers a lot Okay, now you know Okay, now you know Now forget it Don't fall apart at the seams It's called letting go your illusions And don't confuse them with dreams If the going's slow Don't regret it And don't let's go to extremes It's called, what's your choice? It's called, count to ten It's called, burn your bridges Start again You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never grow! Because now you grow That's the killer is Now you grow You're right, nothing's fair And it's all a plot And tomorrow doesn't look too hot — Right You better look at what you've got: Over here, hello! Okay, now you know Right? FRIENDS So you'll find a new gal — So you'll write a new play — In a month or two You're going to thank us MARY You may have missed one road But there's plenty more to follow Right? FRIEND We'll go through the canal Up the coast to LA. You'll come see the place I'm building at Trancas CHARLEY You hang around here, pal And you're only gonna wallow Right? FRIENDS Best thing that ever could have happened! MARY I mean, you'll come back I mean, what's the fuss? CHARLEY I mean, sea and sun and comfort plus CHARLEY AND MARY I mean, after all, you've still got us FRIENDS Best thing that ever could have happened! Best thing that ever could have happened! Best thing that ever could have happened! It was all getting much too complicated anyhow Best thing that ever could have happened! FRANK Right! You've gotta let go Gotta do it from scratch Take a long deep breath Go back to your sources A little vacation Which is all about forgetting — Right? ALL Right! FRANK Right! Then we'll do a new show — No, we'll do a whole batch — Maybe one that's all about divorces! I mean, a divorce court — What a fascinating setting! Right? ALL Right! FRANK Right! ALL Best thing that ever could have happened... Best thing that ever could have happened... I say, best thing that ever could have happened... It's your time, your time... Yesterday is done See the pretty countryside Soon enough you're merrily, merrily Rolling along... Rolling along... So you'll sit in the sun You'll come back with a tan In a month or two You're going to thank us It's your time... It's your time... What's your choice? It's called, count to ten It's called burn your bridges Start again You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never grow! Because now you grow That's the killer So now you grow MARY You're right, nothing's fair And it's all a plot And tomorrow doesn't look too hot — ALL Right, you better look at what you've got: Over here, hello? Over here, hello! Now you know! Now you know! Right! Right! Right! Right! Now you know!
