About

Company is a concept musical, meaning that the songs comment on the topic (here, marriage) rather than occurring at emotional high points in the storyline. Here, character Joanne sings a song that comments ironically on an on-stage fight scene between married couple Sarah and Harry. Joanne claims th...

The Little Things You Do Together Lyrics

[SARAH, spoken]
Harry?

[HARRY, spoken]
Uh?

[SARAH, spoken]
Do you wanna stand there?

[HARRY, spoken]
Okay, I'm standing here. Now what?

[SARAH, spoken]
Well, darling, just come at me.

[HARRY, spoken]
Okay.

[JOANNE]
It's the little things you do together
Do together
Do together
That make perfect relationships
The hobbies you pursue together
Savings you accrue together
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy
Mm-hm...

[HARRY, spoken]
Well, I could have blocked that.

[SARAH, spoken]
No, that can't be blocked.

[HARRY, spoken]
You wanna do it again?

[SARAH, spoken]
Okay.

[HARRY, spoken]
I'll come at you again.

[SARAH, spoken]
Okay.

[JOANNE]
It's the little things you share together
Swear together
Wear together
That make perfect relationships
The concerts you enjoy together
Neighbors you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact

It's not so hard to be married
When two maneuver as one
It's not so hard to be married
And Jesus Christ, is it fun

It's sharing little winks together
Drinks together
Kinks together
That make marriage a joy
The bargains that you shop together
Cigarettes you stop together
Clothing that you swap together
That make perfect relationships
Uh-huh...
Mm-hm...

[SARAH, spoken]
Uncle?

[HARRY, spoken]
Uncle your ass!

[ALL]
It's not talk of God and the decade ahead that
Allows you to get through the worst
It's "I do" and "You don't" and "Nobody said that"
And "Who brought the subject up first?"

It's the little things
The little little little little little things

The little ways you try together—
Cry together—
Lie together—
That make perfect relationships

Becoming a cliché together
Growing old and gray together

[JOANNE]
Withering away together

[GROUP]
That makes marriage a joy

[MEN]
It's not so hard to be married

[WOMEN]
It's much the simplest of crimes

[MEN]
It's not so hard to be married

[JOANNE]
I've done it three or four times

[JENNY]
It's people that you hate together

[PAUL & AMY]
Bait together

[PETER & SUSAN]
Date together

[GROUP]
That make marriage a joy

[DAVID]
It's things like using force together

[LARRY]
Shouting till you're hoarse together

[JOANNE]
Getting a divorce together

[GROUP]
That make perfect relationships
Uh-huh...
Kiss, kiss...
Mm-hm

From Sondheim’s Finishing the Hat:

The glibness of this lyric, which is by turns amusing and irritating (at least to me) is partly due to its being a list song … but also due to another, subtler problem … making the point over and over with the same irony renders the lyric not only monotonous but c...
