Lyrics
CYRANO & JULIET
Cyrano was oblivious
as Juliet packed and left
Made her way cross the Waukentauken Bridge
Her Good-bye note didn't say much
Had to go, enough's enough
P.S. there's pork chops in the fridge
She used to love his swordplay
Love his poems and prose
But recently all she sees is nose
Cyrano and Juliet
Once as close as two can get
Long before the stars were all pulled down
Hey Jules it's Cyrano
It's dinnertime turn on your phone
I'm at the house I've got the table set
Where for art thou Juliet
Don Quixote called to say
"Give her time and it'll be OK
there's hills and mills and valleys to fight and climb"
Cyrano, an old gambling man
Said "I got this far with a lousy hand
But bluffing just gets tougher over time"
Hey Jules it's Cyrano
It's midnight turn on your phone
I can't sleep in this gigantic bed
I know I'm not a Romeo
But as far as aging husbands go
I swear girl we can make it yet
Where for art thou Juliet
They swore for health and sickness
They swore for rich and poor
I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Cyrano de Bergerac
Puts on his sword and his white plumed hat
And heads down to Beginnigan's Saloon
Hey Jules it's Cyrano
It's 2 am I just got home
A little drunk and I'm not finished yet
No monologue, no third act
No tragic twist, no poison asp
Just one more drink and another cigarette
Where for art thou Juliet
