She’d Be Far Better Off With You

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black

[ALEX]
I should never have come back here

[GEORGE]
Oh, don't talk such nonsense!

[ALEX]
I'll bow out now
It's the decent thing to do

[GEORGE]
Don't be absurd

[ALEX]
I'm a disaster

[GEORGE]
Oh, come, come!

[ALEX]
It wouldn't last a week
She'd be far better off with you

[GEORGE]
You two have your lives before you

[ALEX]
It would end in murder!

[GEORGE]
I'm too old for her
It's high time I withdrew

[ALEX]
Your place is here

[GEORGE]
The jowls are dropping

[ALEX]
It's the light

[GEORGE]
The paunch needs propping up
She'd be far better off with you!

[BOTH]
Your words are generous and selfless, but alas untrue!
She'd be far better off with you

[ALEX]
You are steeped in wit and wisdom

[GEORGE]
Well, I've learned the odd thing

[ALEX]
You could teach George Bernard Shaw a thing or two!

[GEORGE]
I had a go

[ALEX]
You've dined with Garbo...

[GEORGE]
Only twice

[ALEX]
...Translated "La Bohème"
She'd be far better off with you

[GEORGE]
You're athletic

[ALEX]
You're distinguished

[GEORGE]
You don't cheat at croquet

[ALEX]
You're more seasoned

[GEORGE]
You can skate

[ALEX]
You're in "Who's Who"

[GEORGE]
Just half an inch

[ALEX]
We're talking drivel

[GEORGE]
So we are

[BOTH]
Can't we be civilized?
She'd be far better off with you
Your words are generous and selfless, but alas untrue
It's only Rose that matters!
Just take a look: there's no comparison between us two
She'd be far better off with you!

[GEORGE]
You're too young, and too confused
To understand what's best
And what's best is obvious:
The two of you belong together
There'll be less [?]

[ALEX]
Perhaps you're right
I'll do my best to turn our lives around
And brush away this memory

[GEORGE]
I'll phone you when I get to Venice

[ALEX, spoken]
Giulietta?

[GEORGE]
Now you be good to her
I have to say these were
The sweetest days I've ever known

[ALEX]
Well, have a pleasant journey

[GEORGE]
One thing before I go
Just one thing you should know:
Rose doesn't like to be alone

[ELIZABETH]
You're a delinquent!
A silly schoolboy with a gun!
I hope you're satisfied!

[ROSE]
Goodbye, Alex
Goodbye forever
We've packed your tunic
Here's your gun as well!
So blow your brains out, go to hell, just leave me!

[ALEX]
You don't know what you're saying...

[ROSE]
I've phoned Marcel to see you off

[MARCEL]
Come along, keep marching
Double quick, look lively

[ALEX]
Let me see my suitcase

[ROSE]
Will he ever forgive me?
But what can I do?
I'm in love with them both
But I only have one life, not two...

[MARCEL]
Your life is one enormous drama
My god, you'll be the death of me
What a mess, let me see
A memory that is best forgotten
That's what this ugly scene should be
Life goes on, so must we

[ROSE]
Marcel, we're taking a trip
I'm told that Venice is fun!
We have to meet an Italian lady!
