[JOANNE:]
Here's to the ladies who lunch,
Everybody laugh.
Lounging in their caftans,
And planning a brunch
On their own behalf.
Off to the gym,
Then to a fitting,
Claiming they're fat.
And looking grim,
'Cause they've been sitting,
Choosing a hat.
Does anyone still wear a hat?
I'll drink to that.
Here's to the girls who stay smart,
Aren't they a gas?
Rushing to their classes,
In optical art,
Wishing it would pass.
Another long exhausting day,
Another thousand dollars.
A matinee, a Pinter play,
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.
I'll drink to that.
And one for Mahler!
Here's to the girls who play wife,
Aren't they too much?
Keeping house but clutching,
A copy of LIFE,
Just to keep in touch.
The ones who follow the rules,
And meet themselves at the schools,
Too busy to know that they're fools.
Aren't they a gem?
I'll drink to them!
Let's all drink to them!
And here's to the girls who just watch,
Aren't they the best?
When they get depressed,
It's a bottle of Scotch,
Plus a little jest.
Another chance to disapprove,
Another brilliant zinger,
Another reason not to move,
Another vodka stinger.
I'llllllllllllllllll,
Drink to that.
So here's to the girls on the go,
Everybody tries.
Look into their eyes,
And you'll see what they know,
Everybody dies.
A toast to that invincible bunch,
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch.
Everybody rise!
Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise!

JOANNE:
It's the little things you do together
Do together
Do together
That make perfect relationships
Hobbies you pursue together
Savings you accrue together
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy
Mmm hmm
It's the little things you share together
Swear together
Wear together
That make perfect relationships
Concerts you enjoy together
Neighbours you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact
It's not so hard to be married
When two manoeuvre as one
It's not so hard to be married
And, Jesus Christ, is it fun!
It's sharing little winks together
Drinks together
Kinks together
That make marriage a joy
It's bargains that you shop together
Cigarettes you stop together
Clothing that you swap together
That make perfect relationships
Uh huh
Mmm hmm
FRIENDS:
It's not talk of God and the decade ahead that
Allows you to get through the worst
It's "I do" and "you don't" and "nobody said that"
And "who brought the subject up first?"
It's the little things
The little things, the little things, the little things
It's little ways you try together
Cry together
Lie together
That make perfect relationships
Becoming a cliche together
Growing old and grey together
Withering away together
That make marriage a joy
It's not so hard to be married
It's much the cleanest of crimes
It's not so hard to be married
JOANNE:
I've done it three or four times
FRIENDS:
It's people that you hate together
Bait together
Date together
That make marriage a joy
It's things like using force together
Shouting till you're hoarse together
Getting a divorce together
That make perfect relationships
Uh huh
Kiss kiss
Mmm hmm
It's the little things you do together
Do together
Do together
That make perfect relationships
Hobbies you pursue together
Savings you accrue together
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy
Mmm hmm
It's the little things you share together
Swear together
Wear together
That make perfect relationships
Concerts you enjoy together
Neighbours you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact
It's not so hard to be married
