Bernadette Peters — Later

[HENRIK] Later When is later? All you ever hear is "Later, Henrik Henrik, later" "Yes, I know, Henrik Oh, Henrik Everyone agrees, Henrik Please, Henrik!" You have a thought you're fairly bursting with A personal discovery or problem, and it's "What's your rush, Henrik? Shush, Henrik Goodness, how you gush, Henrik Hush, Henrik!" You murmur "I only It's just that For God's sake" "Later, Henrik!" "Henrik" Who is "Henrik"? "Oh, that lawyer's son, the one who mumbles Short and boring Yes, he's hardly worth ignoring" And who cares if he's all dammеd– I beg your pardon– Up inside? As I've oftеn stated It's intolerable Being tolerated "Reassure Henrik Poor Henrik Henrik, you'll endure Being pure, Henrik." Though I've been born, I've never been! How can I wait around for later? I'll be ninety on my deathbed And the late, or, rather, later Henrik Egerman Doesn't anything begin? [Spoken] The magnificent Clay Ruede!
