Just One Step

[WOMAN 2, spoken]
Murray
I am out here, Murray
And I am not discussing this anymore

(sung)
You don't want to buy me the fur
Well, that's just fine, Murray
It's not like I'm asking for much
Since you won't buy me the dog
Or the beach house in Quogue
As if you didn't have the money...
What else is new?

I'm not gonna fight for a coat
So never mind, Murray
If that's what's important to you
At least I know where I stand
So Murray, strike up the band
Because the time has come for action—
Here's what I'll do—

Clearly, I'm not wanted anymore
Now I'm not so young and beautiful
That's okay, I've faced defeat before—
I'm not gonna kvetch and I'm not gonna cry
It's not gonna get me what I wanted
So I'm simply gonna

Take one step, one tiny step, and Murray
Just one step, I'll be free
One small step, just so you shouldn't worry
I'll be free, and you'll be rid of me
Isn't that easy, Murray? Watch me...

(spoken)
You think this is maybe a joke?
Well, it's no joke, Murray
Murray?

(sung)
It looks like they're forming a crowd
Like, eighty-five at the most—
Still, front page of the Post—

(spoken)
Mur, I think it's Maury Povich
And Connie, too!
Oh, hi Connie!

(sung)
Now you'll finally make your mother proud
Since she never liked me anyway
Look, she's throwing diamonds to the crowd!
Just say the word and I'll come back inside
But until then, I'll be happy just to know
That I can always go and

Take one step
One tiny step, and, Murray!
One small step, adiós!
Just one step, honey, you better hurry!
Oh, yes sir, better give up that fur!
Take it from me, ol' Murray, here I...

(spoken)
Ah!
Whoops! Almost fell, Murray!
The mother of your children
Splattered across Fifth Avenue
In a bloody heap, Murray
And it's all your fault!

(sung)
Yes, it's you who made the money
'Cause it's you who owns the store
So if you don't wanna spend it, that's your right
But it's you who bought the penthouse
On the fifty-seventh floor
So goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight!

(spoken)
You think I don't know about her?
Well, I do, Murray

(sung)
You think I don't know about that
Or the things that you say
To your friends every day—
I'm embarrassing, I'm fat
I'm demanding, I'm controlling...
Or whatever...
Perhaps it's true...

Here's the place where I get what I've earned
Why keep crying? Why be miserable?
Lookit, Murray! Somebody's concerned!
Trust in the wind and I'll land on the crowd—
No more complaining I'm trashy and loud!
What a sensational fucking experience—
Finally, Murray, I'm getting attention! And

Just one step!
Look at where one step leads you!
One small step takes you high!
Oh, just one step down from the man who needs you—
Fuck the fur! Just send it down to her!
Oh, fare thee well, and Murray, watch me fly!

(spoken)
Murray?
Oh, I'm serious, Murray
Murray?
