Original Broadway Cast of The Drowsy Chaperone
As We Stumble Along (Reprise)
[MAN IN CHAIR, spoken]
So, that was The Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much! I-I know it's not a perfect show; the spit take scene is lame and the monkey motif is labored. But it does what a musical is supposed to do: it takes you to another world. And it-it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for-for when you're feeling blue. You know?
(sung)
As we stumble along
On life's funny journey
As we stumble along
Into the blue
We look here and we look there
Seeking answers anywhere
Never sure of where to turn or what to do
[ROBERT]
I'm an accident waiting to happen
[MAN IN CHAIR]
Still we bumble our way
[JANET]
I don't want to sing tunes no more
[MAN IN CHAIR]
Through life's crazy labyrinth
[GEORGE]
Wedding bells will ring
Wedding bells will chime
[FELDZIEG & GANGSTERS]
Toledo Surprise
[MAN IN CHAIR]
Barely knowing left from right
[TOTTENDALE & UNDERLING]
Love is always lovely
[MAN IN CHAIR]
Nor right from wrong
[ALDOLPHO]
I am Aldopho
[KITTY]
Surprise!
[DROWSY]
And the best we can do
Is hope a bluebird
[DROWSY & MAN IN CHAIR]
Will sing his song
As we stumble along
[ALL]
Still we bumble our way
Through life's crazy labyrinth
[TRIX]
Barely knowing left from right
Or right from wrong
And the-
[ALL]
Best that we can do
Is hope a bluebird
Will sing his song
As we stumble along
As we stumble
Bumble, fumble, tumble
As we stumble along
