WOMAN 2:<br>

Murray,<br>

I am out here Murray <br>

And I am not discussing this anymore <br>

<br>

You don't want to buy me the fur?<br>

Well, that's just fine Murray <br>

It's not like I'm asking for much <br>

Since you won't buy me the dog <br>

Or the beach house in Quogue<br>

As if you didn't have the money <br>

What else is new?<br>

<br>

I'm not gonna fight for a coat <br>

So never mind, Murray <br>

If that's what's important to you <br>

At least I know where I stand <br>

So, Murray, strike up the band <br>

Because the time has come for action <br>

Here's what I'll do <br>

<br>

Clearly, I'm not wanted anymore <br>

Now I'm not so young and beautiful <br>

That's okay, I've faced defeat before <br>

I'm not gonna kvetch <br>

And I'm not gonna cry <br>

It's not gonna get me what I wanted <br>

<br>

So I'm simply gonna take one step <br>

One tiny step <br>

And Murray <br>

Just one step, I'll be free <br>

One small step <br>

Just so you shouldn't worry <br>

I'll be free <br>

And you'll be rid of me <br>

Isn't that easy, Murray?<br>

Watch me <br>

<br>

You think this is maybe a joke <br>

Well, it's no joke, Murray <br>

Murray <br>

<br>

It looks like they're forming a crowd <br>

Like eighty-five at the most <br>

Still, front page of the Post <br>

Ma, I think it's Maury Povich <br>

And Connie too <br>

Oh, hi Connie!<br>

<br>

Now you'll finally make your mother proud <br>

Since she never liked me anyway <br>

Look, she's throwing diamonds to the crowd!<br>

<br>

Just say the word and I'll come back inside <br>

But until then I'll be happy just to know <br>

That I can always go and take <br>

<br>

One step <br>

One tiny step, and Murray <br>

One small step, adios <br>

Just one step,<br>

Honey you'd better hurry <br>

Oh, yes sir,<br>

Better give up that fur <br>

Take it from, Old Murray <br>

Here I...<br>

<br>

Whoops, almost fell Murray <br>

The mother of your children <br>

Splattered across Fifth Avenue <br>

In a bloody heap, Murray <br>

And it's all your fault <br>

<br>

Yes, it's you who made the money <br>

‘Cause it's you who owns the store <br>

So if you don't want to spend it <br>

That's your right <br>

But it's you who bought the penthouse <br>

On the fifty- seventh floor <br>

So goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight <br>

<br>

You think I don't know about her?<br>

Well, I do, Murray <br>

You think I don't know about that <br>

Or the things that you say <br>

To your friends every day <br>

I'm embarrassing <br>

I'm fat <br>

I'm demanding <br>

And controlling <br>

And whatever <br>

Perhaps it's true <br>

<br>

Here's the place where I get what I've earned <br>

Why keep prying?<br>

Why be miserable?<br>

Lookit, Murray <br>

Somebody's concerned <br>

Trust in the wind <br>

And I'll land in the crowd <br>

No more complaining <br>

I'm trashy and loud <br>

What a sensational fucking experience <br>

Finally, Murray, I'm getting attention <br>

<br>

And just one step <br>

Look at where one step leads you <br>

One small step takes you high <br>

Hey, just one step <br>

Down from the man who needs you <br>

<br>

Fuck the fur <br>

Just send it down to her <br>

Oh, fair thee well <br>

And Murray, watch me fly <br>

<br>

Murray,<br>

Oh, I'm serious Murray <br>

Murray!<br>

<br>
