Just Like It Was Before (reprise) Lyrics — Bandstand

[DONNY, spoken]
It’s just one set. Nine o’clock, and you’ll be home by ten, I promise. Whadda ya say?

[JULIA, spoken]
The Blue Wisp?

[DONNY, spoken]
On Superior, and West Third.

[JULIA, spoken]
Nine o’clock?

[DONNY, spoken]
Just a half hour set.

[JULIA, spoken]
Alright

[ENSEMBLE]
Before you know it
It'll be just like it was before[MRS. ADAMS]
I think your dress looks great
As I am sure he’ll say
I know it’s not a date
So don’t you look at me that way
You just deserve a break
From staying home with me all day
I got the radio
And books to read
I’ll be okay
I got a hundred hands of solitaire
That I can play
And if you’re
Still out late
I’ll teach myself
To knit crochet before you know it[ENSEMBLE]
Ooo, ba da
Ooo, ba da
Ooo
It’s time for
The party to start
Bap bap bap[MRS. ADAMS]
Before you know it
[ENSEMBLE]
It'll be just like it was before
