LyricsANCHOR
What a delightful surprise Your luncheon invitation DIVA We so seldom see each other ‘Bout time we get caught up DIVA & ANCHOR ‘Bout time that we got caught up Got caught up Got caught up Caught up WAITER Our soup today, a special Cream of Truffle Infused with chef’s secret ingredients which form a bubble And when that bubble bursts it releases the scent of Springtime, roses and a hint of that new car smell The catch de jour an Emperor Cod grilled to perfection Served in a butter sauce (Aside) Flavored with spit and rancor
ANCHOR I really enjoyed my interview on your show But oddly I can’t recall how it ended DIVA (Aside) That’s something I can use to advantage and exploit DIVA More is always best At least that’s how I was raised DIVA & ANCHOR Fill both glasses up The better for a toast To friendship Lifelong friends You and I DIVA Drink up This is quaffing wine DIVA (Aside) I need his defenses lowered ANCHOR Strange, I don’t remember Leaving your set DIVA Well you were fabulous ANCHOR We were chatting about my special Next thing I woke up Sprawled across a couch DIVA You told that story about how we met Everyone loved your banter, so witty ANCHOR But… DIVA I think your problem is stress ANCHOR …Stress? DIVA Yes, I’ve had this very same problem myself ANCHOR Not remembering things? DIVA Indeed I did So now I know the cure ANCHOR What is it please DIVA It’s simple ANCHOR Tell me DIVA You need rest, rest, rest Then more rest ANCHOR That’s it, just some rest? DIVA & ANCHOR Rest, rest, then more rest Healthy refreshing rest DIVA I took two months off Under my doctor’s direction to rest (Aside) No need to share he’s a plastic surgeon ANCHOR I suppose I could use a vacation DIVA My case was mild Yours seems more severe Let me examine your eyes ANCHOR You can tell from this? DIVA If you know how to look It’s worse than I feared Better take action fast ANCHOR Dear me what should I do? DIVA You must drastically simplify your life ANCHOR Easier said than done DIVA Retire and live a lazy life I’d do it myself if I could ANCHOR But you’re as old as me And surely worth more than I DIVA Yet you invested wisely While I have a taste for roulette So retirement is just a dream ANCHOR That can’t be true She owns at least seven houses A new book every other year Her makeup line Plus all those speaking fees I’ve never seen her gamble Not even in an office pool She must be in cahoots With that dog Sir Mogul |
