Song by William Finn (Mary Testa as Lisa and Norm Lewis as Roger)<br /><br>

LISA:<br>

Hey mister! Hey you!<br>

What are you looking so sad for?<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

Nothing, really nothing, absolutely nothing<br>

How about some money?<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

I can’t refuse<br>

I need new shoes and some pants<br>

I need romance<br>

What about you?<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

Tonight, after eight long hours he appeared<br>

It was worse than the doctor had feared<br>

And then the doctor said, “I hoped by now he’d be awake;<br>

At least I thought he’d be awake. My mistake!”<br>

<br>

Then I prodded him and poked him<br>

And his mother started crying<br>

And then Rhoda started yelling at the nurse<br>

It was a really lousy day in the universe<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

You love him<br>

Too bad<br>

What are you looking surprised for?<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

We hoped things would turn out better<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

Things don’t get better<br>

They only seem to<br>

Then they don’t<br>

Don’t be surprised<br>

When life turns out to be<br>

A trashy old catastrophe<br>

<br>

Hey mister!<br>

It’s all right<br>

Life is a rotten occasion<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

Let me give you money<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

Please forget the money<br>

Please do not insult me<br>

I’m not amused<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

But it’s therapy<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

I give therapy for free<br>

I’m just glad to have a client finally<br>

<br>

ROGER:<br>

So I called his name and hugged him<br>

But the jerk is in a coma<br>

And his mother hopes he dies if he gets worse<br>

It was a really lousy day in the universe<br>

<br>

LISA:<br>

They all are<br>

They all are<br>

<br>
