[Original Broadway Cast of Tootsie, Santino Fontana - Whaddaya Do lyrics]
Whaddaya do when suddenly
You realize the calendar inside your head
Is running out of pages
Whaddaya do if you can see the odds are good
You'll never be the person
You've been trying for, for ages
Is it luck? Is it fate?
Is it something that you wait?
Like an overwhelming plate of humble pie
Whaddaya do when everything
You wanted more than life it'self
Is laughing at you calling you a jerk
Whaddaya do? You make it work!
Whaddaya do when everything is happening
But everything is happening
To everybody but you
All of the phonies, frauds, and fakes
Are getting jobs and getting breaks
And eating steaks but nobody will touch you
Are you haunted by the fact
All you want to do is act
And it's all you want to do until you die
Bashing away at the same old door
Your arms are tired your fists are sore
The patience you've got left is wearing thin
Whaddaya do? You kick it in!
So what am I? I am stuck
Struggling in the muck standing here all
Purpled and perplexed caught in the gap
Between what the hell just happened
And what the hell is gonna happen next
Whaddaya got? Ya got the list
Of all the hopes and dreams I missed
Well take that list and roll it in a ball
Or better yet a tube
You're gonna need some lube
Cuz where is it gonna go?
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I am sad at what I see
Frustration, confusion
I come to the conclusion there really must
Be something wrong
With all of those Douchebags
Who won't hire me
Whaddaya do it's nature's law
The cards you're dealt the cards you drop
Perhaps the hand you've got
Will never win maybe you're out of rope
Maybe you're out of hope
So what do you do? You go all in
Well, I'm all in
You realize the calendar inside your head
Is running out of pages
Whaddaya do if you can see the odds are good
You'll never be the person
You've been trying for, for ages
Is it luck? Is it fate?
Is it something that you wait?
Like an overwhelming plate of humble pie
Whaddaya do when everything
You wanted more than life it'self
Is laughing at you calling you a jerk
Whaddaya do? You make it work!
Whaddaya do when everything is happening
But everything is happening
To everybody but you
All of the phonies, frauds, and fakes
Are getting jobs and getting breaks
And eating steaks but nobody will touch you
Are you haunted by the fact
All you want to do is act
And it's all you want to do until you die
Bashing away at the same old door
Your arms are tired your fists are sore
The patience you've got left is wearing thin
Whaddaya do? You kick it in!
So what am I? I am stuck
Struggling in the muck standing here all
Purpled and perplexed caught in the gap
Between what the hell just happened
And what the hell is gonna happen next
