What Would We Do Without You?
[COUPLES]
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Who would I complain to for hours?
Who'd bring all the flowers
When I have the flu?
Who'd finish yesterday's stew?
Who'd take the kids to the zoo?

Who is so dear?
And who is so deep?
And who would keep her/him occupied when I want to sleep?
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?

*HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF*

What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Should there be a marital squabble
Available Bob'll
Be there with the glue
Who could we open up to
Sеcrets we keep from guess-who?

Who is so safе and who is so sound?
You never need an analyst with Bobby around
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?
What would we do without you-oo?
How would we ever get through-oo?
Who sends anniversary wishes?
Who helps with the dishes
And never says boo?
Who changes subjects on cue?
Who cheers us up when we're blue?
Who is a flirt but never a threat?
Reminds us of our birthdays which we always forget?
What would we do without you?

[ROBERT]
Just what you usually do

[COUPLES]
Right!
You who sit with us...
You who share with us...
You who fit with us...
You who bear with us...
(spoken, *ad lib*)
You-hoo, you-hoo
You-hoo, you-hoo...

[ROBERT, spoken]
Okay, now everybody-!
[ALL]
Isn't it warm, isn't it rosy?
Side by side...

Ports in a storm, comfy and cozy
Side by side...

Everything shines, how sweet
Side by side...

Parallel lines, who meet
Side by side...

Year after year, older and older
Side by side
Sharing a tear and lending a shoulder
Side by side
Two's impossible, two is gloomy
Give another number to me
Side
By side
By side
By side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side!
