[MEN]
Gotta mention my client
(Need a plug for the plaza)
Or I’m out of a job
(El Morocco)
Gotta be in
Gotta be in

[SIDNEY]
Look at ‘em wait for J.J
Look at ‘em hold their breath
For a crumb in The Column
They stand there and pray
Hard to believe I did that
Hard to believe I cared
Bye bye J.J

[COMPANY]
God I love the night

[SIDNEY]
He never loves ya’ back

[COMPANY]
I wanna saunter in
And step into the light
[SIDNEY]
He’s gonna fade to black
Ya’ got a nightmare
When you see it all come true

[COMPANY]
See it all come true

[SIDNEY]
Then it all goes crazy

[COMPANY]
Then it all goes crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

[SIDNEY]
Play those war drums no more
I’m all done with the war
Fin’lly free of it
Fin’lly free of it
Free!

[J.J., spoken]
The Column begins...
Broadway mourns the loss
Of one of its greatest comets
Sidney Falco
Who was found dead early this morning
A moment of silence for a classy guy
Pearl Bailey
Causing traffic jams inside The Latin Quarter
Betty Davis at Luchow’s
Huddling over a big project...

[COMPANY]
Gotta get in The Column
From which everything flows
There’s no end to The Column
On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes
On and on it goes
