Song by Barbara Barrie<br /><br>

SARAH:<br>

Darling--<br>

<br>

HARRY:<br>

Yes?<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

Robert.<br>

<br>

HARRY:<br>

What?<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

I worry.<br>

<br>

HARRY:<br>

Why?<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

He's all alone.<br>

There's no one--<br>

<br>

HARRY:<br>

Where?<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

In his life.<br>

<br>

HARRY:<br>

Oh.<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

Robert ought to have a woman.<br>

Poor baby, all alone,<br>

Evening after evening by the telephone.<br>

We're the only tenderness he's ever known.<br>

Poor baby!<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

David--<br>

<br>

DAVID:<br>

Yes?<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

Robert.<br>

<br>

DAVID:<br>

What?<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

I worry.<br>

<br>

DAVID:<br>

Why?<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

It's such a waste.<br>

There's no one--<br>

<br>

DAVID:<br>

Where?<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

In his life.<br>

<br>

DAVID:<br>

Oh.<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

Robert ought to have a woman.<br>

Poor baby, sitting there,<br>

Staring at the walls and playing solitaire,<br>

Making conversation with the empty air.<br>

Poor baby!<br>

<br>

[Later, as Robert takes April to bed]<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

Robert...<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

Bobby...<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

Robert, angel...<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

Bobby, honey...<br>

<br>

SARAH:<br>

You know, <br>

No one <br>

Wants you to be happy<br>

More than I do,<br>

No one,<br>

But isn't she a little bit, well,<br>

You know,<br>

Face it,<br>

Why her?<br>

Better,<br>

No one--<br>

<br>

JENNY:<br>

...wants you to be happy<br>

More than I do,<br>

No one,<br>

But--<br>

<br>

SARAH & JENNY:<br>

Isn't she a little bit, well,<br>

You know,<br>

Face it--<br>

<br>

SUSAN:<br>

You know, no one<br>

Wants you to be happy<br>

More than I do--<br>

<br>

AMY & JOANNE:<br>

You know, no one<br>

Wants you to be happy<br>

More than I do,<br>

No one,<br>

But--<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

Isn't she a little bit, well--<br>

<br>

[Variously]<br>

<br>

Dumb?<br>

Tacky?<br>

Vulgar?<br>

Old?<br>

Tall?<br>

Aggressive?<br>

Where is she from?<br>

Neurotic?<br>

Peculiar?<br>

And cheap?<br>

She seems so dead.<br>

She's tall enough to be your mother.<br>

And gross?<br>

Depressing?<br>

She's very weird.<br>

And immature?<br>

Goliath!<br>

<br>

[Together]<br>

<br>

Poor baby, all alone,<br>

Throw a lonely dog a bone, it's still a bone.<br>

We're the only tenderness he's ever known.<br>

Poor baby!<br>
