Now You Know JOE So we'll do a new show, So you'll meet a new dame, So you'll take some time for personal pleasure. CHARLEY There gotta be endings Or there wouldn't be beginnings — Right? LES You got talent to blow And you're making a name And that song you wrote's a national treasure. TED, JEROME You're looking at losses When you should be counting winnings — JOE, LES, CHARLEY, TED Right! CHARLEY Best thing that ever could have happened — FRANK Right. ALEX So you'll get a new flat And you'll have a few things, Start a whole new life and learn to adore it — KATE If you want to have weddings, Then you gotta have divorces — No? TERRY Though it's sad and all that, You get over these things, And you come out somehow better for it — JEROME Just because you change horses Doesn't mean you're changing courses — ALL (except Mary) Right!! JEROME Best thing that ever could have happened, I say best thing that ever could have happened — ! TERRY Best thing that ever could have happened — ! ALEX One more thing not to think about — TED It was all getting much to complicated — FRANK Right! MARY All right, now you know: Life is crummy. Well, now you know. I mean, big surprise: People love you and tell you lies. Bricks can fall out of clear blue skies. Put your dimple down, Now you know. Okay, there you go — Learn to live with it, Now you know. It's called flowers wilt, It's called apples rot, It's called theives get rich and saints get shot, It's called God don't answer prayers a lot, Okay, now you know. Okay, now you know, Now forget it. Don't fall apart at the seams. It's called letting go your illusions, And don't confuse them with dreams. Yes sir, quite a blow — Don't regret it, And don't let's go to extremes. It's called what's your choice? It's called count to ten. It's called burn your bridges, start again. You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never grow! Because now you grow. That's the killer, is Now you grow. You're right, nothing's fair, And it's all a plot, And tomorrow doesn't look so hot — Right, you better look at what you've got: Over here, hello? Okay, now you know, Right? TERRY It's a month at most — LES Sure, you'll spin a few wheels — ALEX But you don't look back — KATE Just leave all the pieces. GROUP I When you haven't got one choice, Might as well enjoy the other. GROUP II Right! TERRY You'll come out to the coast — JEROME We can set a few deals, And I'm talking strictly major releases. GROUP II An exit from one place Is an entrance to another. GROUP I Right! CHARLEY Best thing that ever could have — MARY I mean, socks have holes, I mean, roads have bumps, They make meatheads champs and nice guys chumps — CHARLEY — Happened! MARY I mean, even cream of wheat has lumps — ALL (variously, overlapping) Best thing that ever could have happened! … It was all getting much to complicated anyhow … Best thing that ever could have happened! FRANK (to Joe) Right, we'll do a new show — (to Frank) No, we'll do a whole batch! — (to Mary) And it's over with, I'll cut the connection — Gotta have endings, Or there wouldn't be beginnings. ALL Right! CHARLEY When you're flattened this low And you're starting from scratch, You can only go in one direction! ALL The side is retired, But there still are lots of innings, Right? GROUP I Best thing that ever could have happened! Best thing that ever could have happened! I say, best thing that ever could have happened, I say, best thing that ever could have happened! It's your time, your time! GROUP II Yesterday is done! See the pretty countryside! Soon enough you're merrily, merily Rolling along! Rolling along! GROUP III You're beginning again, Got another clean slate, Got a whole new life, You'll learn to adore it! It's your time! It's your time! ALL Now you know! What's your choicew? It's called count to ten. It's called burn your bridges, start again. You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never know! Because now you grow. That's the killer, is Now you grow! MARY You're right, nothing's fair, And it's all a plot, And tomorrow doesn't look so hot — ALL Right, you better look at what you've got: Over here, hello? Over here, hello? MARY, CHARLEY, JOE Over here, hello? ALL Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right! Now you know! Right!
