Stephen Sondheim
Back in Business
[SINGERS]
Wa wa wa, wa wa wa
Wa wa wa, wa wa wa

Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end
Didn't it?
Looked as though it wouldn't last out the year
Yesterday disaster waited around the bend—
Well, my friend
Spring is here

Back in business
And ain't it grand?
Let the good times roll!
Yesterday things were outta hand
Now they're under control, mmm

Bye bye, blues
So long, adversity
Happiness, hello! (Hello, hello)
Keep the status quo
Permanently so

Back again like a boomerang
Same old stand
Same old gang
Back in business with a bang!
Let the good times roll!
Yesterday it seemed we never would smile again
Didn't it?
Didn't matter what we ventured, or how
Looked as though the fun was over till who knew when
That was then
This is now

Back in business
And ain't it grand?
Let the good times roll!
Yesterday things were outta hand
Now they're under control

Back to normal
Back to usual
Let the fun resume (Wa wa)
No more doom and gloom
Nor more bust, just boom!

Back in business, and overnight
In demand—
Well, all right!
Business is just dynamite!
Let the good times roll!

Wa wa wa, wa wa wa
Wa wa wa, wa wa wa
Wa wa wa, wa wa wa
Wa wa wa, wa wa wa
