Poor Baby |
Robert |
What? |
I worry |
Why? |
He’s all alone |
There’s no one— |
Where? |
In his life |
Oh |
Robert ought to have a woman |
Poor baby, all alone |
Evening after evening by the telephone |
We’re the only tenderness he’s ever known |
Poor baby! |
David— |
Yes? |
Robert |
What? |
I worry |
Why? |
It’s such a waste |
There’s no one— |
Where? |
In his life |
Oh |
Robert ought to have a woman |
Poor baby, sitting there |
Staring at the walls and playing solitaire |
Making conversation with the empty air |
Poor baby! |
Robert… |
Bobby… |
Robert, angel… |
Bobby, honey… |
You know |
No one |
Wants you to be happy |
More than I do |
No one |
But isn’t she a little bit, well |
You know |
Face it |
Why her? |
Better |
No one— |
…wants you to be happy |
More than I do |
No one |
But— |
Isn’t she a little bit, well |
You know |
Face it-- |
You know, no one |
Wants you to be happy |
More than I do-- |
You know, no one |
Wants you to be happy |
More than I do |
No one |
But-- |
Isn’t she a little bit, well— |
Dumb? |
Tacky? |
Vulgar? |
Old? |
Tall? |
Aggressive? |
Where is she from? |
Neurotic? |
Peculiar? |
And cheap? |
She seems so dead |
She’s tall enough to be your mother |
And gross? |
Depressing? |
She’s very weird |
And immature? |
Goliath! |
Poor baby, all alone |
Throw a lonely dog a bone, it’s still a bone |
We’re the only tenderness he’s ever known |
Poor baby! |
