Текст песни

ALEX
I should never have come back here…
GEORGE
Oh, don’t talk such nonsense!
ALEX
I’ll bow out now --
It’s the decent thing to do
GEORGE
Don’t be absurd
ALEX
I’m a disaster…
GEORGE
Oh, come, come!
ALEX
…It wouldn’t last a week --
She’d be far better off with you
GEORGE
You two have your lives before you
ALEX
It would end in murder…
GEORGE
I’m too old for her --
It’s high time I withdrew
ALEX
Your place is here
GEORGE
The jowls are dropping…
ALEX
It’s the light
GEORGE
…The paunch needs propping up --
She’d be far better off with you
BOTH
Your words are generous and selfless
But alas untrue --
She’d be far better off with you
ALEX
You are steeped in wit and wisdom
GEORGE
Well, I’ve learnt the odd thing…
ALEX
You could teach George Bernard Shaw
A thing or two!
GEORGE
I had a go…
ALEX
You’ve dined with Garbo…
GEORGE
Only twice
ALEX
…Translated «La Boheme» --
She’d be far better off with you
GEORGE
You’re atheletic
ALEX
You’re distinguished
GEORGE
You don’t cheat at croquet
ALEX
You’re more seasoned
GEORGE
You can skate
ALEX
You’re in «Who's Who»
GEORGE
Just half an inch
ALEX
We’re talking drivel
GEORGE
So we are
BOTH
Can’t we be civilized?
She’d be far better off with you
Your words are generous and selfless
But alas untrue
It’s only Rose that matters!
Just take a look; there’s no comparison
Between us two --
She’d be far better off with you!
