<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

[singing]<br>

We'll always be bosom buddies,<br>

Friends, sisters and pals;<br>

We'll always be bosom buddies,<br>

If life should reject you,<br>

There's me to protect you.<br>

Vera:<br>

If I say that your tongue is vicious,<br>

Mame:<br>

If I call you uncouth;<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>

Will sit down and tell you the truth.<br>

Vera:<br>

[speaking]<br>

Tho' now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting,<br>

Mame:<br>

Tho' often my frank observation might scald;<br>

I've been meanin' to tell you for years<br>

You should keep your hair natural like mine.<br>

Vera:<br>

If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald.<br>

[singing]<br>

But darling,<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

We'll always be dear companions,<br>

Vera:<br>

My crony,<br>

Mame:<br>

My mate;<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

We'll always be harmonizing,<br>

Vera:<br>

Orphan Annie and Sandy,<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

Like Amos and Andy.<br>

Vera:<br>

If I say that your sense of style's as far as off as your youth;<br>

It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>

Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth.<br>

Mame:<br>

[speaking]<br>

Each time that a critic has written, "Your voice is the voice of a frog!"<br>

Straight to your side to defend you I rush;<br>

You know that I'm there ev'ry time that the world makes and unkind<br>

remark.<br>

When they say "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!"<br>

[singing]<br>

It hurts me!<br>

Vera:<br>

And if I say your fangs are showing,<br>

Mame, pull in your claws,<br>

It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>

Will notice the obvious flaws!<br>

Mame:<br>

[speaking]<br>

I feel it's my duty to tell you it's time to adjust to your age;<br>

You try to be "Peg O' My Heart", when you're "Lady Macbeth."<br>

Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!<br>

Vera:<br>

Well, how old do you think?<br>

Mame:<br>

I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

[singing]<br>

But sweetie,<br>

Vera:<br>

I'll always be Alice Toklas,<br>

If you'll be Gertrude Stein.<br>

And tho' I'll admit I've dished you,<br>

I've gossiped and gloated,<br>

But I'm so devoted.<br>

Mame:<br>

And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star,<br>

It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy<br>

Will tell you how rotten you are.<br>

Vera and Mame:<br>

Just turn your bosom buddy<br>

For aid and affection,<br>

For help and direction,<br>

For loyalty, love and for sooth!<br>

Remember that who else but a bosom buddy<br>

Will sit down and level<br>

And give you the devil,<br>

Will sit down and tell you the truth!<br>

<br>
