All Things Bright and Beautiful / Bang! / All Things Bright and Beautiful (Part 2)

[MAN]
Here, kid
Look I brought you flowers
Green, red, blue
All things
Permanent and perfect
For you, kid
You

I mean, all things bright and beautiful
Everything forever, yours, kid
Everything forever, all come true

[WOMAN]
All things bright and beautiful
Everything forever all come true

[MAN]
The war commences
The enemy awaits in quivering expectancy
The poor defenses
The penetrable gates: how terrible to be a woman

The time is here
The game is there
The smell of fear
Like musk, pervades the air

The bugle sounding
The pistol steady
The blood is pounding
Take aim, and ready

Bang!
20 minute small talk
30 at the most
Bang!
2 or 3 to pour the schnapps
Bang, bang, bang!
Half a minute to propose the necessary toast
Bang!
The tunic opens
Bang!
The trousers fall
Bang!
The foe is helpless
Back against the wall
Bang!
An hour and a quarter overall
And bang!

[WOMAN]
20 minutes to arrange
The bloody awful flowers

Can I get away with more?

Then I half to brush my hair
And that could take me hours

A fit of vapors

No that's too quaint

A wracking cough
And then a graceful faint

A length lecture

On self-restraint

Bang, bang!
Bang, bang!

Bang!

Bang, bang!

Bang!

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang, bang

Bang

Bang

Bang, bang, bang, bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang

Bang

Bang, bang

Bang, bang

Bang

Bang

Bang, bang, bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang
[MAN]

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang!

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang, bang!

The battle rages

Whatever ground I gain
I fortify
Remorselessly

The foe engages

By shifting the terrain
How pitiful to be a woman

Attack!

Retreat

Lay back

Reform

Outflank

Deplete

Move up and then restore

The siege succeeding

The time grows shorter

She lies there bleeding

I give no quarter
Bang!
Fire at the elbow;
Slavo at the knee
Bang!
Fuselage at breast and thigh
Bang, bang, bang!
Then when she's exhausted
Bang!
A fresh a sortie

I taste the conquest

The taste is sweet

She lays her arms down
Welcoming defeat

Both sides content

Secure

Positions

All passion spent

Discuss

Conditions
How terrible

How pitiful

How glorious to be a woman
[WOMAN]
He is a peacock
I keep forgetting

[MAN]
The quarry senses
A momentary pang

[WOMAN]
It's all so foolish
Why am I sweating?

[MAN]
The war commences
(spoken)
Bang

(sung)
Wait
Kid
Every minute flowers
Night, noon, day
Trust me
Anything you want, you just say, kid
Say

You'll have all things
Bright and beautiful
Everything forever, ask me
Everything forever, every day

[WOMAN]
All things
Bright and beautiful
Ben, can we go to Paris?
Ben, can we go to London?
All things
Bright and beautiful
Ben, I get so excited
I hardly can breath

Let them laugh
Just don't leave me
I'm alright
Just don't leave me again
And we'll be together
Tomorrow
And we'll be together
On Monday
And we'll be together
[MAN]

Of course we can go to Paris
Or London, or Rio
You name it

Let them laugh
I won't leave you
I won't leave
Never ever again
You'll be mine, mine
[BOTH]
Tomorrow
And Monday
And April
And Christmas
And

Look, love!
Everything is flowers
Red, white, pink, green, blue
Soon, love!
Everywhere I look will be you, love, you
And that's all things
Bright and beautiful
Everything forever, ours, kid
Everything we never did we'll do

And we'll be together tomorrow
And we'll be together on Monday
And we'll be together on April
And Christmas
And next year
And always
And
