Original Broadway Cast of Waitress
Instrumentally similar to the previous song, “The Negative” shows a panicked Jenna with Becky and Dawn taking a pregnancy test, hoping for the results to be ruled negative.
[BECKY, spoken]
Jenna, time to pee on a stick!
[JENNA, spoken]
I don't wanna know.
[BECKY]
C'mon honey, you've waited long enough
[BECKY & DAWN]
Get to it and do it
[JENNA, spoken]
Okay girls, enough!
[BECKY & DAWN]
You know what we mean
[DAWN]
I hope you drank enough this mornin'
[BECKY]
C'mon sweetie, it's better to know
We'll be right here with you so
[DAWN]
It's no or it's yes
But either way you gotta take the test
[BECKY]
A squat and a squeeze
A prayer and a please
It's nothin'
[DAWN]
A stick and a line
[JENNA]
Just one of 'em - if I'm lucky
[BECKY & DAWN]
A pot and a piss
Here we go sis
An' we'll keep our focus on
[JENNA, BECKY, & DAWN]
The negative!
[BECKY, spoken]
Read the instructions
[DAWN, spoken]
Se puede saber la duración de la-
[BECKY, spoken]
English!
[DAWN, spoken]
Do not insert the test stick into your vagina.
[BECKY, spoken]
Wooow. Thank you, Dawn.
[JENNA]
How'd I ever get myself in this mess?
One drunk night an' that stupid red dress
[DAWN, spoken]
Aw, I love that red dress! The way it sparkles, it looks like a ice-skating outfit!
[BECKY, spoken]
Ugh, stay with us, Dawn!
[DAWN]
Maybe his machinery is broken somehow?
What if his boys don't swim, I mean, wow!
(spoken)
Miraculous luck!
[BECKY, spoken]
Damn, miraculous!
(sung)
To get away with an unprotected fu-!
[JENNA]
Funny how one night
Can ruin your whole life
[BECKY & DAWN]
Don't go there yet
We don't know what the test says
[JENNA]
I'm already panicked!
[BECKY, spoken]
Just calm down, god damn it!
[DAWN]
Maybe it'll all be fine
[BECKY & DAWN]
Maybe there'll be just one line
[JENNA, BECKY, & DAWN]
Come on, negative!
[DAWN, spoken]
I thought you don't sleep with your husband much anymore?
[JENNA, spoken]
Well, I - (sigh) he got me drunk. I do stupid things when I drink, like — sleep with my husband.
[BECKY, spoken]
Honey, we've all made that mistake!
[JENNA, BECKY, & DAWN]
Focus on the negative!
[BECKY]
This will all be alright
[DAWN]
It was only one night
[JENNA]
Someone
Send me a sign
[BECKY & DAWN]
One line
[JENNA, BECKY, & DAWN]
One line
[BECKY & DAWN]
That means the test is ready
This is it...
[JENNA, spoken]
...shit
