In the Season 3 Finale “Opening Night”, Oliver (Short) and Loretta (Streep) bring down the house with this powerful musical duet as a killer detective and a nanny for a set of triplets, but it is only the projection and voice of Ben (played by Paul Rudd) who we see and hear perform. While the actual...
[Verse 1: LORETTA]
A nanny's only duty is to the children
To keep them swaddled in the safety of her care
With a fierce and iron will
She would fight and she would kill
If she's poked
She'll be provoked
And you just woke up
Mama bear
[Verse 2: LORETTA, BEN]
A nanny keeps her patience under pressure
You'll never stop me, Nanny
Forceful and resourceful as can be
Don't make me laugh
No matter what you might hurl toward her
She keeps the goddamn house in order
I'm gonna get those kids
Then you'll have to go through me
[Chorus: LORETTA]
For the sake of a child
I'd give my life completely
For the sake of a child
To Hell and back I'd go
No, I won't bend and I won't break
There are precious lives at stake
With a fire, I shall face down any foe!
For the sake, for the sake, for the sake
For the sake of a child
[Verse 3: BEN, LORETTA]
What's a nanny? She's a ninny, she's a nothing
I am their protector
And no match for such a massive private dick
Hm, massive?
You can shut your little trap
It's time for nanny's final nap
And a rattle down your throat should do the trick
[LORETTA, spoken]
I knew it
It was you all along, you're the killer!
[BEN, spoken]
I'm not just the killer
I'm the father!
[LORETTA, spoken]
Oh, fuck
[BEN, spoken]
That's right
Those kids are mine, and you can't stand in the way!
[LORETTA, spoken]
Over my dead body
[Chorus: BEN & LORETTA, BEN]
For the sake of a child
I'd give my life completely (I'll take your life without a second thought)
For the sake of a child
To Hell and back I'd go
For the sake, for the sake, for the sake
For the sake of a child
[LORETTA]
The craze in your gaze is bone-chilling
It's clear you've been serial killing
[BEN]
I did what I had to do
And now I'm about to do it to you!
See, you're just a baby butt-wiper
Disposable just like a diaper
[LORETTA]
They are mine to protect
[BEN]
I have to object
[LORETTA]
It's me that they need!
[BEN]
They grew from my seed!
[Chorus: BEN & LORETTA]
'Til my last breath I take
I'll stay steadfast
For the sake of a child
You never will defeat me
For a child, to death I'd dare to go
Yes, I'd lay my life at stake
With this solemn vow I make
I'd die before I ever let them go
[LORETTA]
For the sake
[BEN]
For the sake
[LORETTA]
For the sake
[BEN]
For the sake
For the sake
[LORETTA, spoken]
For the sake of a child
