Mountain Duet |
| Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus |
| FLORENCE: |
| This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid |
| Nothing I say will convince him this isn’t a trick. |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| A drink on a clear moonlit night -- I relax, she |
| smiles |
| There’s something peculiar going on. |
| FLORENCE: |
| So with immaculate timing, I’m left to carry the |
| can |
| Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned -- |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Now she can’t be working for them -- I mean |
| us -- |
| She seems so very straightforward -- but where |
| is he? |
| FLORENCE: |
| He has to come back -- he wanted this meeting, |
| well didn’t he? |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Maybe he’s scared -- just as scared as he was |
| in the game. |
| FLORENCE: |
| Oh, I just couldn’t care less |
| He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career, |
| I know I’ve done my best |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Well at least she’s a good-looking spy. |
| FLORENCE: |
| What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans |
| Are more of an intimate kind? |
| If I don’t say something else soon |
| He’ll go -- Nobody’s on nobody’s side! |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Listen, I hate to break up the mood |
| Get to the point, begin the beguine |
| Haven’t you noticed we’re a protagonist short |
| In this idyllic, well-produced scene? |
| FLORENCE: |
| All I can say is moments ago |
| He was right here ready and waiting |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Never mind him -- I haven’t missed him so far. |
| BOTH: |
| Maybe it won’t do any harm |
| To struggle on without his charm |
| Funny how all at once I feel that he can go jump off the mountain |
| I won’t care |
| FLORENCE: |
| This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| My dear opponent -- I really can’t imagine why |
| FLORENCE: |
| So I am not dangerous then? |
| -- what a shame! |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| Oh, you’re not dangerous -- who could think |
| that of you? |
| BOTH: |
| You -- you are so strange -- why can’t you be what you ought to be? |
| You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever |
| by half -- |
| THE RUSSIAN: |
| I have to had it to you |
| For you’ve managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce. |
| BOTH: |
| I don’t know why I can’t think of anything |
| I would rather do Than be wasting my time |
| On mountains with you. |
