Stephen Sondheim
Back in Business
[SINGER]
Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end
Didn't it?
Looked as though we wouldn’t last out the year
Yesterday disaster waited around the bend—
Well, my friend
Spring is here
Back in business
And ain't it grand?
Let the good times roll!
Yesterday things were out of hand
Now they're under control
Bye bye, blues
So long, adversity!
Happiness, hello!
Keep the status quo
Permanently so
Back and in like a boomerang
Same old stand
Samе old gang
Back in business and with a bang!
Let the good timеs roll!
Yesterday it seemed we never would smile again
Didn’t it?
Didn't matter what we ventured, or how
Looked as though the fun was over till who knew when
That was then
This is now
Back in business
And ain't it grand?
Let the good times roll!
Yesterday things were out of hand
Now they're under control
Back to normal
Back to usual
Let the fun resume
No more doom and gloom
No more bust, just boom!
Back in business, and overnight
In demand—
Well, all right!
Business is just dynamite!
Let the good times roll!
Same old play with the same old cast
Like the past
But at last
Back in business and with a blast!
Let the good times—
Let the good times—
Let the good times roll!
Yeah!
