We Understand Each Other

[McTurk]

We understand each other

[Ramsay]

Bull!

[McTurk]

You hear some distant drummer play

I think we understand each other

[Rowena]

Have you no else to offer?

[Drumgoole]

Poor boy!

[Rowena]

I have expenses to defray

I hope we understand each other

[McTurk and Rowena]

We have a problem

Yes, but it's not that we don't understand each other

[Ramsay and (Drumgoole)]

Oh brother!

When they say "understand" (I'll never comprehend)

They gotta mean fairyland (My putrid taste in men)

For twenty tons of silver (It's not fair)

She sold him into stir (I love)

And when it gets his (Each little hair)

Freedom back (And he)

He throws it away over her (Don't even care about me)

When they say "understand" (When they say "understand")

He must mean some other girl (Must mean some other man)

[Ramsay & Drumgoole]

Our preconceptions to retain

We're obligated to exclaim

[All]

We understand each other

We understand each other

[McTurk and Rowena]

We hear some distant drummer play

Must mean we understand each other

[Ramsay & Drumgoole]

Oh brother!

[McTurk and Rowena]

If there's a problem

We'll admit not that we don't understand each other

[All]

Each other

[Ramsay and (Drumgoole)]

When they say "understand" (What could be wrong with me?)

It's like Wendy and Peter Pan (I know his repartee)

Have you ever met somebody (Insincere)

More self-involved than he (He's down there)

This has got to be a miracle (I'm up here)

The man has divine empathy (But whenever he's near it's)

Some kind of divine empathy (Some kind of divine empathy)

When they say "understand" (When they say "understand")

Smells like something else to me (We're talking sleight of hand)

[Ramsay & Drumgoole]

Each other's mind we read so well

We have no time to know ourselves

[All]

We understand each other

We understand each other

[McTurk and Rowena]

Though we don't even know ourselves

We think we understand each other

[Ramsay & Drumgoole]

Though we don't even know ourselves

[McTurk and Rowena]

We think we understand each other

[All]

Each other

[Ramsay & Drumgoole]

Though we don't even know ourselves
