[Original Broadway Cast of Groundhog Day, Barrett Doss , Andy Karl - One Day lyrics]
I was brought up in taffeta dresses
And taught to be pretty and precious
And spending my playtimes
With plastic princesses
Who all had these bodies
Just utterly ludicrous
Minuscule waists and huge boobs and it's
All nipple less and no pubes and no creases
I mean, Jesus it's pretty confusing
Especially at six
In that fairy tale world all the
Girls end up "happy ever after"
Wooing their knights in shining armor
But some nights down the track
You can bet they'll be trapped
Spending nights in, shining armor
While their knights spend their
Nights at a bar
Or at a ball with some harlot i'm not bitter
It's just better that I don't
Fall for all that
Romantic bullshit now that I'm older
Although I don't mind the thought of
Being tossed over a shoulder
And trotted off to a mansion
By some ruggedly handsome
Man in a fireman helmet
And have him just use me for sex
As I say, it's a little complex
One day, some day my prince may come
But it doesn't seem likely
And even if he came and he liked me
It's likely he'd be not quite my type
Some day, they say
He'll come riding up on the back of a horse
But, of course, I'm allergic to horses
How will I tell him?
He'll just have to sell him
I went to school with a girl
I remember her well she was pretty smart
And pretty as hell her folks had a farm
But she wouldn't stay of course
She wanted Prince Charming
So she went to LA of course
Managed to seduce a famous actor or producer
Shacked up in a house in the hills
With a cat and a juicer
And a fancy car and a tennis court
But the guy wasn't quite the
Catch she thought she'd caught
He treats her like trash and then
You know the drill
Takes his cat and his cash and
Finds some younger girl
So she's left with this stupid Corvette
And an empty swimming pool which
She fills with regret
Smart girl, but kind of dumb
And I'd rather be lonely than sit on my fanny
Waiting for my prince to come
One day, some day
He'll come sweeping in and sweep
Me off my feet
And spend the next four decades
Wanting to cheat on me getting less handsome
And fighting his dragons
He'd know what to wear
He'd have a full head of hair
And his eyes would be brown, or blue
Or green well, I don't care
And his body would be toned
With those pecs like you get at the gym
But he won't spend all his time at the gym
And he'll love reading books
He'll be an excellent cook
He'll be good looking but not
Too aware of his looks
He'll be tender but tough
And smart but not smug
And attentive but not fawning
And he'll smell good in the morning
And he'll dance
And like hiking and baking and biking
I'm not picky, I just ask
That he likes me, and I like him
And I'd rather be alone
If the only other option
Is succumb and settle down
With some condescending clown
With a great rating from some dating service
Some self-professing Mr perfect
Another narcissistic legend
Made a million out of hedge funds
Another sexually ineffectual
Self-obsessing metrosexual
Pseudointellectual
Getting drunk and existential
Every time the Steelers lose a game
Thanks, but perhaps some other day
One day, some day my prince may come
But, I won't hold my breath
There's only divorcées and weirdos left
And weird is fine but not all the time
One day, some day my prince will come
So the fairy tales said
Thirty years later it's still in my head
That if I screw a frog
I will wake in a four-poster bed
There was a day with a girl
I remember it well her name was
Janine or JaneAnn or Joelle
We drank piña coladas
Watched the sun setting over the bay
We made love in the sand
And when we were through
We went back to her room
And watched Ghostbusters I I
Smoked half a joint
And ate half a pound of pâté
Why couldn't that be my
There was a day
With a girl
It's Joelle
Watched the sun setting over the bay
We made love in the sand
When we were through back to my room
Ghostbusters I I
Smoked half a joint
It was way too much pâté
One day, some day
I'll cut down on fried chicken take-away
My doctor said one day my
Heart will stop tickin'
Unless I cut down on that chicken
I will do it, one day
One day I'll stop drinking so much
I'll stop dating men who
Are twenty years older
I'll get a new safety clip for my holster
It opens too quick i'll do it next week
One day, I'll get a new coffee maker
Some day, I will buy her a ring
One day death will come to everyone
One day I'll learn how to sing
One day some day my prince may come
But it doesn't seem likely
Phil, you bought me candy
One day some day
I'll wake in the arms of an actual man
Who will love me for all that I am
With all that he is
Ok, Phil, we're on in five, four, three, two
Ok, Phil, we're on in five, four, three, two
Ok, Phil, we're on in
These endless first dates
That start with her hating me
It just doesn't seem likely
That I'm gonna get her to like me
I brought you candies
Can I get in your panties now?
One day is not enough i've had enough
I'm not enough i'm not your fictional man
I'm just me i can't be any more than I am
This is all that there is
One day one day one day one day
One day
Two
Whattaya know? It's Groundhog Day
Tomorrow spring will come, and then
There will be blue skies my friend
Bright eyes and laughter
Tomorrow, there will be sun
But, if not tomorrow
You can curse, cast spells or cry
Offer your prayers to the unfeeling sky
The spring will arrive when
The winter is done and if it's not tomorrow
Then tomorrow, then tomorrow then tomorrow
And taught to be pretty and precious
And spending my playtimes
