Follies Soundtrack lyrics WAITING FOR THE GIRLS UPSTAIRS lyrics YOUNG BUDDY: Hey, up there... YOUNG BEN: Way up there... BUDDY and YOUNG BUDDY: Whaddaya say, up there? (Ben. Sally and Phyllis join Buddy.) BUDDY: God, the four of us together back here. Hey. up there! Way up there! Whaddaya say, up there? I see it all. It's like a movie in my head that play and plays. It isn't just the bad things I remember It's the whole show. Waiting around for the girls upstairs: After the curtain came down. Money In my pocket to spend. "Honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend!" BEN: Hearing the sound of the girls above Dressing to go on the town. BUDDY: Clicking heels on steel and cement, BEN: Picking up the giggles floating down through the vent, BOTH: Goddamnedest hours that I ever spent Were waiting for the girls Upstairs BUDDY: Hey, up there! BEN: Way up there! . BOTH: Whaddaya say, up there! BEN: That's where the keys hung and That's where you picked up your mail. BUDDY: I remember: Me and Ben. Me and Ben. We'd come around at ten. Me and Ben. And hang around the wings Watching things With what-the-hell-was-his-name. You know, the old guy? Max! I remember... Anyway, There we'd stay Until the curtain fell. And when the curtain tell. Then all hell broke: Girls on the run And scenery flying, Doors slamming left and right BEN: Girls in their un- Dies, blushing but trying Not to duck out of sight. BOTH: Girls by the hun- Dreds waving and crying. "See you tomorrow night!" Girls looking frazzled and girls looking great, Girls in a frenzy to get to a date, Girls like a madhouse and two of them late... And who had to wait? And wait... And wait... And wait... PHYLLIS: Waiting around for the boys downstairs, Stalling as long as we dare. Which dress from my wardrobe of two? (One of them was borrowed and the other was blue.) SALLY: Holding our ground for the boys below, Fussing around with our hair PHYLLIS: Giggling, wriggling out of our tights, SALLY: Chattering and clattering down all of those flights- BOTH: God, I'd forgotten there ever were nights Of waiting for the boys Downstairs. BUDDY: You up there! SALLY: Down in a minute! BEN: You two up there! PHYLLIS: Just keep your shirts on! BEN and BUDDY: Aren't you through up there? SALLY and PHYLLIS: Heard you the first time!
