Great Interest (feat. Santino Fontana & Solea Pfeiffer)

Miss Brewster Mr. John Pace Seavering So Where were we? Yet to begin Ah yes Well        I've read your book I was hoping you had I read it with great interest I am very glad The story of your life But organized so neatly You swear that you wrote it alone? The story of my life Is mine and mine completely Each word in the book is my own It's a fine book Well, now I'll relax I read it with great interest Fine. Down to brass tacks   Have you decided? The work is so clean Articulate, inviting I can't wait to see where this goes No, please, what I mean In other people's writing It's more often purple than prose But not your book Mr. Seavering Oh, and do call me John John You read it with "great interest"? From midnight 'til dawn The story of your life The struggle, the misfortune The triumph, it's just what I need   I read it with great interest With great interest? Great interest indeed   The machine is out of control! Gidger! Ticking without end, sending paper hither and thither Well, turn it off, will you? Tell it to stop   Yes, John, that is exactly how it works "Mr. Machine, would you very kindly stop?!" I'll take that break now Do! And close the door behind you If everyone knew About you and me They would have great interest I have to agree What my people would make When they beheld your freckles If they smelled the starch of your collars The earth would start to shake Hysteria and heckles If nobody sees Well then, nobody hollers You don't know a thing You can show me the rest You've taught me already But not when we're dressed The story of your life Is tomorrow's front page Nothing's been written so far The story of my life And all boys your age You don't yet know who you are Maybe we don't know who we are Because we went through the war And after the war, the way that you are Isn't the way you were before   Think of what we saw All we had to face The worst things in this century Have already taken place So, if we're lost We'll be found Soon enough Stick around I'm starting to see  What the future can be And does that future feature me  And my book? As a matter of fact I read it with great interest Then you better act The stories of our lives Combine in this moment Together we just might succeed No one hears the sizzle As we start to cook And No one takes the time To take a second look But You got yourself a printing press And I got a book I read it with great interest Great interest Great interest indeed I read it with great interest Great interest Great interest indeed
