An Evening at Carnegie Hall track 10:
Now you know
Betty Buckley:
OK, now you know
Life is crummy
Well now you know.
I mean, big surprise,
People love you and tell you lies.
Bricks can fall out of clear blue skies
Bruise your dimple, now.

Full Company:
Now you know it.
Now you know it.

Betty Buckley:
OK, there you go
Learn to live with it
Now you know.
It’s called

Female Soloist #1:
flowers wilt,

Betty Buckley:
It’s called

Female Soloist #2:
apples rot,

Betty Buckley:
It’s called thieves get rich and saints get shot
It’s called G-d don’t answer prayers a lot
OK, now you know.

Full Comapny:
Now you know it.
Now you know.

Betty Buckley:
OK, now you know,
Now forget it don’t fall apart at the seams.
It’s called letting go your illusions
And don’t confuse them with dreams.
Yes sir, quite a blow.
Don’t regret it and don’t let’s go to extremes.
It’s called what’s your choice,
It’s called count to ten,
It’s called burn your bridges, start again.

Full Company:
You should burn them every now and then
Or you’ll never grow.

Betty Buckley:
Because now you grow,
That’s the killer,
It’s now you grow.

Female Soloist #3:
Oh, baby.

Betty Buckley:
You’re right,
Nothing’s fair
And it’s all a plot
And tomorrow doesn’t look too hot

Full Company:
You’d better look at what you’ve got.

Betty Buckley:
Over here hello

Full Company:
Hello,
Hello.

Betty Buckley:
You’re right,
Nothing’s fair and it’s all a plot
And tomorrow doesn’t look too hot
You’d better look at what you’ve got
Over here hello.

Full Company:
Hello,
Hello,
Hello.
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know it
Now you know!
