Don’t Look at Me

[SALLY, spoken]
Ben, it's me
(sung)
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...

Hi, Ben...

No, don't look at me—
Please, not just yet
Why am I here? This is 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 likе? It's so hazy!
Look at these peoplе
Aren't they eerie?
Look at this party
Isn't it dreary?
I'm so glad I came

[BEN, spoken]
Can I look now? Yes, it's possible, you might be Sally. Did you fall asleep at Toscanini broadcasts? Did you eat Baby Ruths for breakfast?

[SALLY, spoken]
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 are going out on the town.

[BEN & SALLY]
So—
Just look at us...

[SALLY]
Fat...

[BEN]
Turning gray...

[BEN & SALLY]
Still playing games
Acting crazy

[SALLY]
Isn't it awful?

[BEN]
God. how depressing—

[BEN & SALLY]
Me, I'm a hundred
You, you're a blessing—
I'm so glad I came!

[BEN, spoken]
What we need is a drink
