[Part I: Opening]
[Instrumental]
[Part II: You'll Never Know]
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Okay, let's get started, we're on the clock
[MOTHER, spoken]
This is costing a fortune, twenty-five dollars an hour
Pull up your socks
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Ma, who's gonna sing?
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Alright, alright, stand up tall
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Oh, oh, you know that part?
I meant to talk to you about it
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Huh?
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
In the middle, where you play alone
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Yeah?
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Don't you think it's a little too long?
I really think you should shorten it
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Shorten it?
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
I have a better idea
Why don't you just cut it out completely?
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Kid, just do what I tell ya
[MOTHER, spoken]
Listen to him, Barbra
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Well, don't you think it's a little bit long?
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken, MOTHER, spoken & YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Alright, let's rehearse the ending
Here's how it goes (Stop, stop fidgeting)
Pay attention (I'm not)
[PIANO PLAYER]
You'll never know if you don't know now
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Okay? Nice and simple
You got it, kid?
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Yeah, I got it
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Don't change a note
[YOUNG GIRL, spoken]
Okay, okay
[YOUNG GIRL]
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear, I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
You did that wrong
I, I don't understand, we've rehearsed this for hours
You do it different every time
I can't get her to sing the same thing twice
She doesn't listen
[MOTHER, spoken]
She never listens
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken]
Well, who does she think she is?
She told me to cut my solo
She said it was too long
[MOTHER, spoken]
So you'll play it on my record, let's rehearse
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken & MOTHER, spoken]
I play the Catskills for God's sake (What key do I sing it in? Let's see)
She ain't ever gonna play the Catskills
[MOTHER, spoken]
What key do I sing in?
[PIANO PLAYER, spoken & MOTHER]
Typical kid, she's never gonna make it (You'll never know)
