jason robert brown - leo at work / what am i waiting for? كلمات الأغنية

[townspeople]
strong and sure is the dream of atlanta
when her brothers are unified!

[leo]
twenty-eight boxes of caps
at four dollars the gross
this is wrong, this is wrong
i can fix this—wait
nine more boxes in back
twenty-eight minus nine
and then thirty-one girls on the line…
[lucille]
suit and a tie…

terribly quiet…

quite a well-paid position

“go on, lucille…”

“bring him his coffee…”
[leo]
times six, one eight-six…

divide… seven sixty…

god all the noise, and on yontiff yet…

four cents a girl for the week…
at ten cents an hour…

[lucille]
straight from new york, lucille!
isn’t he smart, lucille?

mama, he’s comin’ around today
mama, he’s at the door!
mama, i don’t know what i should say…

“well, what are you waitin’ for, lucille?”
what am i waiting for?

[leo]
this is wrong, this is wrong
it’s an eight, not a six…

[lucille]
house and a maid;
two sets of china
everything i was wishin’
new winter coat;
real ermine collar
who would have known, lucille?
married so well, lucille?

how can he want me, so plain, so prim?
how can he be so sure?
don’t i wish i could be sure like him?
like leo?

[leo]
yes, lucille, i am building a life for us…

[lucille]
for leo?

[leo]
no, lucille, we cannot have a picnic…

[lucille]
didn’t my wishes come true for me
the day he walked through the door?
isn’t he all that i knew he’d be—
brilliant and filled with humility?
loyal and stable as any tree?
so why do i wait for more?
what am i waiting for?

[leo]
twenty-three cartons of leads
at two sixty the gross
this is wrong, this is wrong
i can fix this—

(spoken)

[mary]
hey

[leo]
yes?

[mary]
i came for my pay

[leo]
name?

[mary]
mary phagan
