He wakes up in bed,
Has to get the papers read.
Saw her on a floodlit stage,
Wants to put her in a brilliant cage.
In that minute (it took a year),
His life it came to this.
Got himself a Broadway bride,
Now the misery is his.
He wakes up in bed
With the hunger of a newly-wed.
Hung around her like a baby-sitter,
But she rubbed his face in her kitty litter.
In that minute (it took a year),
His life it came to this.
Got himself a Broadway bride
Now the misery is his.
He wakes up in bed,
Turns to touch her sleeping head.
That she's gone is history,
Better that a bird be free.
In that minute (it took a year),
His life it came to this.
Got himself a Broadway bride,
Now the misery is his.
