Falsettoland / About Time

Homosexuals
Women with children
Short insomniacs
And a teeny tiny band
Come, right in
The welcome mat is on the floor
Let's begin
This story needs an ending

Homosexual
Father with children
One bar mitzvah that
Is scrupulously planned

Lovers come and lovers go
Lovers fight and sing fortissimo
Give these handsome boys a hand
Welcome to Falsettoland

Fancy families
Women internists
Kosher caterers
Who are trying to expand

Everybody on his mark
Congregate at Central Park
Pretty boys are in demand
Welcome to Falsettoland

What a world we live in
What a world we live in

It's about time, don't ya think?
It's about time to grow up, don't ya think?
It's about time to grow up and face the music
It's about time

I had a wife
I had a lover
He ran for cover, she I divorced
I got hissed when I cracked my lover on the wrist
She got pissed and ran off with my psychiatrist
So I don't have a psychiatrist
Except on the Jewish holidays but I still have my son on the weekends
Just on the weekends

And some very good friends
But I don't have a lover anymore
Oh my God
When am I gonna get over this?
When am I gonna get over this?
When am I gonna get over this?

It's about time, don't ya think
It's about time to grow up, don't ya think
It's about time to grow up and face the music
It's about time

One day I'd like to be
As mature as my son, who's twelve and a half
And this tall
That's all I'd like to be

It's about growing up, getting older, living on a lover's shoulder
Learning love is not a crime
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about
