Gossip Lyrics

Stephen Sondheim Gossip

[CELESTE #1]
They say that George has another woman

[CELESTE #2]
I'm not surprised

[CELESTE #1]
They say that George only lives with tramps

[CELESTE #2]
I'm not surprised

[CELESTE #1]
They say he prowls through the streets
In his top hat after midnight

[CELESTE #2]
No!

[CELESTE #1]
And stands there staring up at the lamps

[CELESTE #2]
I'm not surprised

[CELESTE #1/CELESTE #2]
Artists are so crazy...

[OLD LADY]
Those girls are noisy

[NURSE]
Yes, madame

[OLD LADY]
That man is famous

[NURSE]
Yes, madame

[OLD LADY]
That man is filthy

[NURSE]
Your son seems to find him interesting

[OLD LADY]
That man's deluded

[CELESTE #1/CELESTE #2]
Artists are so crazy

[OLD LADY/NURSE]
Artists are so peculiar

[CELESTE #1]
Slouching...

[BOATMAN]
Overprivileged woman
Complaining
Silly little simpering
Shopgirls
Condescending artists
"Observing;"
"Perceiving"...
Well, screw them!

[ENSEMBLE]
Artists are so

[CELESTE #2]
Crazy

[CELESTE #1]
Secretive

[BOATMAN]
High and mighty

[NURSE]
Interesting

[OLD LADY]
Unfeeling
