Made to Last

Lyrics

[TOM] I suppose the latest thing The latest thrill Is to watch Mr. Nobody from "Nowhere-Ville" Make love to your wife and just sit still If that's the plan You can count me out That's the kind of progress I can do without [DAISY, spoken] Tom, enough [GATSBY, sung] Oh, don't you know the latest thing The beans to spill- [DAISY, spoken] Jay- [GATSBY, sung] Is your wife never loved you And she never will So don't you die upon that hill We met and fell in love five years ago It makes me laugh to think you didn't know [TOM, spoken] I didn't know Daisy then, and I'll be damned if you got within a mile of her unless you brought groceries to the back door [GATSBY, sung] You're the one who double-crossed her [TOM] All this from a cheap impostor [GATSBY] Sorry, but I fear you've lost her [TOM] He's slick and he's fast and he'll run out of gas None of this was made to last A quick little fling that will quietly pass None of this was made to last [JORDAN, spoken] You're one to talk about flings. Nick, did Tom ever tell you why they really left Chicago? He ripped the fender off his car and the chambermaid with him broke her arm [TOM, spoken] Stay out of it! [JORDAN, sung] Even for you, that was a scandal for the ages And how much did you pay To stay off the social pages? [TOM] Every so often I might go off on a spree [DAISY, spoken] A spree? [TOM, sung] I make a fool of myself [DAISY, spoken] No, Tom (sung) You make a fool of me [JORDAN, TOM] You leave a trail of lies that never ends (I said stay out of it) [NICK CARRAWAY] We all know, so why pretend? [TOM] And here I thought that we were friends I see now this is a conspiracy [JORDAN, spoken] Oh, go chase yourself! [GATSBY, TOM] Old sport, it's time to face reality Daisy is leaving you (Is that your estimation?) She doesn't love you (I love how all your money reeks of desperation) Go on and tell him (You've piles of cash to buy some cheap panache and charm) That you're through (But who bought Daisy's diamond ring and put a baby in her arms?) [TOM] Does Daisy know the kind of work you do? That Sing Sing's saving its best cell for you This dirty crook has carved out quite a niche He's selling bootleg booze and getting filthy rich [GATSBY, spoken] He's lying! [GATSBY, sung, TOM , JORDAN & NICK] Daisy, tell him (He's slick and he's fast and he'll run out of gas None of this was made to last) (She decides what's made to last) You never loved him (A parlor trick, a make-believe past None of this was made to last) (She decides what's made to last) Daisy, tell him (He's slick and he's fast and he'll run out of gas None of this was made to last) (She decides what's made to last) She never loved him (A parlor trick, a make-believe past None of this was made to last) (She decides what's made to last) Tell him (None of this was) Tell him (None of this was) Tell him (None of this was) (She decides what's made to last) [GATSBY, spoken, TOM ] Tell him (None of this was)
