A Really Lousy Day in the Universe

Lyrics

[LISA] Hey, mister! Hey, you! What are you looking so sad for? [ROGER] Nothing, really nothing, absolutely nothing How about some money? [LISA] I can't refuse I need new shoes And some pants I need romance What about you? [ROGER] Tonight, after eight long hours he appeared It was worse than the doctor had feared And then the doctor said, "I hoped by now he'd be awake; At least I thought he'd be awake. My mistake!" Then I prodded him and poked him And his mother started crying And then Rhoda started yelling at the nurse It was a really lousy day in the universe [LISA] You love him Too bad What are you looking surprised for? [ROGER] We hoped things would turn out better [LISA] Things don't get better They only seem to Then they don't Don't be surprised When life turns out to be A trashy old catastrophe And, oh Hey, mister! It's all right Life is a rotten occasion [ROGER] Let me give you money [LISA] Please forget the money Please do not insult me I'm not amused [ROGER] But it's therapy [LISA] I give therapy for free I'm just glad to have a client finally [ROGER] So I called his name and hugged him But the jerk is in a coma And his mother hopes he dies if he gets worse It was a really lousy day in the universe [LISA] They all are They all are
