Stephen Sondheim: The Little Things You Do Together

JOANNE: It's the little things you do together,
Do together,
Do together
That make perfect relationships.
The hobbies you pursue together,
Savings you accrue together,
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy.
Mmhmm...

It's the little things you share together,
Swear together,
Wear together
That make perfect relationships.
The concerts you enjoy together,
Neighbors you annoy together,
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact.

It's not so hard to be married
When two maneuver as one.
It's not so hard to be married,
And Jesus Christ, is it fun.

It's sharing little winks together,
Drinks together,
Kinks together
That make marriage a joy.
The bargains that you shop together,
Cigarettes you stop together,
Clothing that you swap together
That make perfect relationships.
Uh huh
Mmhmm...

FRIENDS: It's not talk of God and the decade ahead that
Allows you to get through the worst.
It's, "I do," and, "You don't," and, "Nobody said that,"
And, "Who brought the subject up first?"

It's the little things...
The little things, the little things, the little things.
The little ways you try together,
Cry together,
Lie together
That make perfect relationships.
Becoming a cliche together,
Growing old and gray together

JOANNE: Withering away together

FRIENDS: That make marriage a joy.

HUSBANDS: It's not so hard to be married

WIVES: It's much the simplest of crimes

HUSBANDS: It's not so hard to be married

JOANNE: I've done it three or four times.

JENNY: It's people that you hate together

AMY & PAUL: Bait together

PETER & SUSAN: Date together

FRIENDS: That make marriage a joy.

DAVID: It's things like using force together

LARRY: Shouting till you're hoarse together

JOANNE: Getting a divorce together

FRIENDS: That make perfect relationships.

Uh huh
Kiss kiss
Mmhmm...
