A Day in Falsettoland/Racquetball [Spanish translation]

[WHIZZER, spoken]

A day in Falsettoland

Dr. Mendel at work

[MENDEL]

I don't get it

I don't understand

In the '60s, everyone had heart

In the '60s, we were all a part of the same team

In the '60s, we had a new world to start

Could this

Oh God, don't say it is

Could this be the new world we started?

Here I sit, brokenhearted and

[CAROLINE, spoken]

You go out on the street, and there's all these people asking for a handout. Then you go home, you open your mail, and it's full of people asking for a donation. Then, you turn on the TV, and there's pictures of starving children in Ethiopia

[MENDEL, spoken]

And how does that make you feel, Diane?

[CAROLINE, spoken]

Caroline

[MENDEL, spoken]

Caroline?

[CAROLINE, spoken]

Yes, my name is Caroline

My God!

[MENDEL]

I don't get it

I've been left behind

Half my patients: Yuppie pagans

Modeled on the Ronald Reagans

Now the world is too pathetic

And I don't get it at all

[CAROLINE, spoken]

Now that I got the promotion, can I finally stop sleeping with my boss?

[MENDEL, spoken]

Time's up!

[CAROLINE, spoken]

You always do this!

[The patient exits.]

[MENDEL]

At least there's Trina at home

Trina in bed

Trina obsessing

And sort of caressing

My head with her feet

I once thought it was sweet

But I don't anymore

Now I just snore

'Cause I'm so exhausted

Listening to these yuppie farts complain

Listening as their shallow hearts explain

Their lives

[CHARLOTTE, spoken]

Trina works it out

[Trina enters, stretching, and dressed for a work out.]

[TRINA]

Marvin's back with Whizzer

Just like how it was

If I don't like Whizzer

It's because my ex sure does

Why should that upset me?

Sometimes I'm a lout

Mendel serenades, and Jason calms me

Why should I be wilting

When their precious love is not in doubt?

Work it out!

[JASON, spoken]

The neighbors relax after work

[Cordelia enters with food. Charlotte enters their home.]

[CORDELIA]

How was your day at the hospital?

[CHARLOTTE]

Unbelievable

What is that smell?

[CORDELIA]

Nouvelle bar mitzvah cuisine

I've been practicing

Cuisine, bar mitzvah, nouvelle

[MENDEL, spoken]

Hi, honey

[CORDELIA]

Well?

[TRINA]

Hi, honey

[MENDEL]

How was your day?

[TRINA]

It was terrible

Did you hear that Marvin's back with Whizzer?

Marvin's back with Whizzer!

[MENDEL]

Drop it, sweetheart

Give it up

You know I love you

What's the matter, Trina darling?

I don't get it

Why can't you let go?

[TRINA]

Maybe in a mile, I'll be okay

I'll be happy when we finally have this bar mitzvah

[MENDEL]

Isn't it enough

I want you every night?

[TRINA, spoken]

Who?

[MENDEL]

Every other night?

[TRINA, spoken]

Me?

[MENDEL]

Every third night?

[TRINA]

Hm

[MENDEL, spoken]

Okay, let's drop it

(sung)

Everything will be alright

[TRINA]

Everything will be alright

[MENDEL & TRINA]

Everything will be alright

[Cordelia has just poured Charlotte a martini.]

[CORDELIA]

How was your day

At the hospital?

[CHARLOTTE]

It was wonderful

For the first time in months

Nobody died

[CORDELIA, spoken]

Yay?

[CHARLOTTE]

There were just

Heart attacks and gallstones

Light bulbs up the ass

Fake appendicitis which was gas

Which I diagnosed

People overdosed and I saved them

I saved young people, old people

One priest and one high school principal

Saving lives, I feel invincible

Yes I do

Do you know how great my life is?

Do you know how great my life is?

Saving lives and loving you

[CORDELIA]

You save lives and I save chicken fat

I can't fucking deal with that!

[CHARLOTTE]

Do you know how great my life is?

[CORDELIA]

Yes, I know how great your life is

[MENDEL & TRINA]

Everything will be alright

[CHARLOTTE]

Do you know how great my life is?

[CORDELIA]

Yes, I know how great your life is

[MENDEL & TRINA]

Everything will be alright

[CHARLOTTE]

Do you know how great my life is?

[CORDELIA]

Yes, I know how great your life is

[MENDEL & TRINA]

Everything will be alright

[CHARLOTTE]

Saving lives

[BOTH]

And loving you

[WHIZZER]

Ha

It bounced twice

[MARVIN]

No, it didn't

[WHIZZER]

Yeah, once, then twice

You know it did

[MARVIN]

That's not nice

[WHIZZER]

No, it isn't

But you're a pain in the ass

[MARVIN]

You're a beast

But, at least

When you play me, you win

[WHIZZER]

You give up

[MARVIN]

I perspire

[WHIZZER]

Where's the heat?

Where's the fire?

Used to be you desire

To fight!

So fight!

[MARVIN]

So play!

[WHIZZER]

One-two-three-four!

[MARVIN]

One-two-three-four!

[WHIZZER]

One-two-three-four!

[MARVIN]

One-two-three-four!

[WHIZZER]

One-two-three-four!

[MARVIN]

One-two-three-four!

[WHIZZER]

One-two-three-four!

[MARVIN]

One-two-three-four!

[WHIZZER]

Lucky dink!

[MARVIN]

I'm finessing

[WHIZZER]

Something stinks in how you play

[MARVIN]

Don't you think it's a blessing

I'm so pathetically bad?

[WHIZZER]

Just stay back

Serve with force

I'll attack

And, of course

I will win

Just give in

To bliss

And kiss

[MARVIN]

Let's go!

Do you know?

All I want

Is you

Anything you do

Is all right

Yes, it's all right

Do you know?

All I want is

You

[WHIZZER]

Down the alley

High lob

Low drive

Ceiling shot

Into the corner

Four walls

Dink

[WHIZZER, spoken]

What?

[MARVIN, spoken]

What?

[WHIZZER]

Hit your shoe

[MARVIN]

No, it didn't

[WHIZZER]

Yes it did

The game is through

[MARVIN]

That's not nice

[WHIZZER]

No, it isn't

[MARVIN]

God, you're a pain in the ass

[WHIZZER]

Play it raw

Don't play pretty

Sex and games

In New York City

Have got to be played with flair

And passion

And passion and flair

[MARVIN & WHIZZER]

Do you know

​all I want is you?

Anything you do

​is alright

Yes it's alright

[CHARLOTTE & CORDELIA]

Do you know how great my life is?

Do you know how great my life is?

Everything will be alright!
