Don't Look At Me

Ben, it's me
Now, folks, we bring you di-rect from Phoenix
Live and in person Sally Durant!
Here she is at last
Twinkle in her eye
Hot off the press
Strictly a mess
Nevertheless...

(smiling nervously)
Hi, Ben...
(before he can respond)
No, don't look at me
Please, not just yet
Why am I here? This it crazy!

No, don't look at me
I know that face
You're trying to place the name...

Say something, Ben, anything
No, don't talk to me
Ben, I forget
What were we like? It's so hazy!
Look at these people
Aren't they eerie?
Look at this party
Isn't it dreary?
I'm so glad I came.

Can I look now? (She nods, smiling nervously) Yes, it's possible
You might be Sally. Did you fall asleep at Toscanini broadcasts?
(She nods.) Did you eat Baby Ruths for breakfast?

I still do sometimes. Oh, Ben, you're just the way I knew you'd be. You make me feel like I was nineteen and the four of us were going on the town.

So I just look at us
Fat
Turning gray
Still playing games, acting crazy
Isn't it awful?
God. How depressing
Me, I'm a hundred
You, you're a blessing
I'm so glad I came!
What we need is a drink.
