Everything’s Great
[TOM]
Everything's great
Couldn't be better
Up to my ears in debt
Rent overdue
Nothing but worries
How great can things get?

Here I am:
Thomas J. Moody
Three year old suit
From Robert J. Hall
Jesus H. Christ
Where am I heading?
These lucky feet
Find the one street
That's guaranteed
To lead to a brick wall

Every old horse
Has to win sometime
When is it my big purse?
Things have to change
Gotta get better
They could not get worse!

[LORNA, spoken]
Look, Tom, I want to get married

[TOM, spoken]
Go home, Lorna! Give me some air! It's enough I've got my wife on my neck

[LORNA]
Here I am:
Still getting nowhere
Making believe
It's all so divine
Had to get hung
On Mister Married
Doing things right
That's not my line
Screwing things up
That's where I shine

[TOM]
Just what I need
She's gonna kill me
Milking me dry, my wife

[BOTH]
Everything's great
Couldn't be better

[TOM]
Birds are singing

[LORNA]
Vultures, maybe

[TOM]
Flowers blooming

[LORNA]
Poison ivy

[BOTH]
What a perfect life!
