Tell Me, Ernest Lyrics

Tell Me, Ernest

MADELINE: (spoken)
So tell me, Ernest,
What would you do to me?
Aesthetically?
A lift, a tuck, a freeze,
A sock, some filler in the chin?

ERNEST: (spoken)
Oh, goodness, no

MADELINE: (spoken)
No, really, tell me, Ernest,
If you had your way with me
Medically, are we talking face,
Chest, thighs, breasts?
Oh, God, I don't know where to begin
(sung)
What about the stain on my leg?
I stressed it out from doing squats on the reg
Do you have time on Tuesday to squeeze me in?

HELEN: (spoken)
I told you, Ernest doesn't really do that

ERNEST: (spoken)
But she's a friend, Tuesday's doabl?

MADELINE: (spoken)
Mm, doable, huh?
So, tell me, Ern?st,
How much have you seen of me,
Cinematically?
(sung)
The roms, the coms, the rom-coms,
The dramas, the dramedies,
The straight-to-DVDs
No, really, Ernest,
How often have you watched me?

ERNEST: (spoken)
Uh, sporadically

HELEN: (spoken)
What?

ERNEST: (spoken)
I really liked the one where
You were fighting with a sword

MADELINE: (spoken)
Oh, thrust!

HELEN: (spoken)
That was her first Razzie award

MADELINE:
You know I did all my own stunts
I only injured all of my co-stars once
Now swordplay foreplays one of my specialties
We need another bottle
I must be boring you senseless
I'm just so thrilled that you both are here
Treat her well,
I haven't seen her this happy in years

ERNEST:
Well, here, here

HELEN:
Thank you for this sincere

MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:
Cheers
I'm so glad we did this

HELEN: (spoken)
Well, this has been so much fun,
But oh, gosh, look at the time

MADELINE: (spoken)
Oh, please,
You don't have anywhere else to be
Our Helen, always worrying
But tell me, Ernest
How's Helen in the sack?

HELEN: (spoken)
Mad

MADELINE:
Just curious
I've known this girl for twenty years
And never have
I ever heard her make a uh-uh-woah

HELEN: (spoken)
Hey

MADELINE: (spoken)
I'll lighten up, Ernest

HELEN: (spoken)
We should be heading back

MADELINE:
Uh-oh, she's furious
Come on, now
You know I'm just having fun
Ooh, we've only begun
A toast to friends for life
That's right, you're stuck with me, Ernie
Thank your wife

HELEN:
Well, it's been fun, but we gotta go
I think I'm done, gotta hit the road

MADELINE:
I must be boring senseless

HELEN:
Oh, we must be bored

HELEN & MADELINE:
I feel so thrilled that we're out of here
We should do this again

MADELINE:
How's next week?

HELEN:
How's next year?

MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:
Cheers, cheers

MADELINE:
I'm so glad

ERNEST:
So glad

HELEN:
So fucking glad

MADELINE, HELEN & ERNEST:
We did this
