Lyrics
[GORDON] Help me! [RICHARD] It'll only take forty five minutes [GORDON] Somebody get me out of here! [DR. BERENSTEIN] You might not want to open your eyes [MIMI] Think calm thoughts [ROGER] Think sailing [GORDON] Sailing [ENSEMBLE] Sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk [GORDON] Waiting for the wind to blow [ENSEMBLE] Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [GORDON] Here I am, detestor of small spaces Unable to breathe, I turn loquacious [ENSEMBLE] At least it's sunny in Newport At least it's sunny on Cape Cod At least it's sunny in Nantucket [GORDON] Oh, yeah, fuck it, I hate the sun [ENSEMBLE] But we are sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk Hotter than a pregnant cow Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [ROGER] Would it kill you to try to enjoy this a little bit? This is my favorite thing in the world Wait, I hear it [RHODA] Wait, it's coming [ENSEMBLE] Wait, I feel the wind I think we're moving [GORDON] Things are improving [ENSEMBLE] Not becalmed [GORDON] Could that be a metaphor? [ENSEMBLE] Cuttyhunk is in our past! [GORDON] Stillness isn't the bastard that I thought it might be [ENSEMBLE] Not becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk! [NANCY D] We got the picture! [GORDON] I get the picture? [RICHARD] Now, that wasn't so bad, was it? [ENSEMBLE] In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [GORDON] That wasn't bad at all! In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
