WILBUR
Styles keep a changin´
The world´s re-arrangin´
But Edna, you´re timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter
A beer costs a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free
You´re like a stinky old cheese, babe
Just gettin´ riper with age
You´re like a fatal disease, babe
But there´s no cure
So let this fever rage
Some folks can´t stand it
Say time is a bandit
But I take the opposite view
Cause when I need a lift
Time brings a gift
Another day with you
A twist or a waltz
It´s all the same schmaltz
With just a change in the scenery
You´ll never be old hat
That´s that!
You´re timeless to me
EDNA
Oh, Wilbur!
Fads keep a-fadin´
Castro´s invading!
But wilbur, you´re timeless to me
Hairdos are higher
Mine feels like barbed wire
But you say I´m chic as can be!
You´re like a rare vintage ripple
A vintage they´ll never forget
So pour me a teeny weenie triple
And we can toast the fact we ain´t dead yet!
I can´t stop eating
Your hairline´s receding
Soon there´ll be nothing at all
So, you´ll wear a wig
While I roast a pig
Hey! Pass that geritol
Glenn miller had class
That chubby checker´s a gas
But they all pass eventually
You´ll never be passe
Hip hooray!
You´re timeless to me
(They dance.)
EDNA
You´re like a broken down chevy
All you need is a fresh coat of paint
WILBUR
And Edna, you got me goin´ hot and heavy
You´re fat and old, but baby, boring you ain´t!
WILBUR & EDNA
Some folks don´t get it
But we never fret it
´Cause we know that time is our friend
It´s plain to see
That you´re stuck with me
Until the bitter end
And we got a kid
Who´s blowin´ the lid
Off the turnblad family tree
EDNA
You´ll always hit the spot
Big shot!
You´re timeless to me
WILBUR
You´ll always be du jour
Mon amour
You´re timeless to me
EDNA
You´ll always be first string
WILBUR
Ring-a-ding-ding!
WILBUR & EDNA
You´re timeless to me
