We're Gonna Be All Right

Honeybunch, sad to say
 But I have a hunch
 Screen romances went out to lunch
 That's no reason to pout
 Don't look bleak
 Happy endings can spring a leak
 Ever after can mean one week
 We're just having a drought
 Smile and sweat it out
 If we can just hang on
 We'll have compatibility
 You mustn't worry
 We're gonna be all right
 One day the ache is gone
 There's nothing like senility
 So what's your hurry?
 We're gonna be all right
 Meanwhile, relax
 You take a lover
 I'll take a lover when that's played out
 They get the ax
 We can retire
 Sit by the fire
 Fade out
 We'll build a house upon
 The rock of my virility
 We'd better scurry
 We're gonna be all night
 Oh boy, we're gonna be all right
 ♪
 I was told, just be faithful and never scold
 Sounded easy, so I was sold
 I've been miserable since
 I was taught, when the prince and the dragon fought
 That the dragon was always caught
 Now I don't even wince
 When it eats the prince
 I know a perfect pair
 Their lives are at the pinnacle
 But how do we know they're gonna be all right?
 The bride is slightly square
 The groom is slightly cynical
 A little vino
 They're gonna be all right
 She aims to please
 She has a baby
 Then, though they may be having fine times
 When there's a breeze
 She has another
 Now she's a mother
 Nine times
 It all went wrong, but where?
 Details are slightly clinical
 She's out in Reno
 The kids adored the flight
 Oh, they're gonna be all right
 I'm a child of barely everything
 Learn to smile
 Happy couples can stay in style
 Just by practicing charm
 All is well
 Least as far as their friends can tell
 Please ignore the peculiar smell
 There's no cause for alarm
 Mildew will do harm
 She once was quite well read
 He once was intellectual
 No one suspicious
 They're gonna be all right
 She's nice and sweet and dead
 He's tall and ineffectual
 They look delicious
 They're gonna be all right
 Who's on the skids?
 She goes to night school
 If it's the right school
 He'll permit her
 They love their kids
 They love their friends, too
 Lately he tends to hit her
 Sometimes she drinks in bed
 Sometimes he's homosexual
 But why be vicious?
 They keep it out of sight
 Good show
 They're gonna be all right
 And so
 They're gonna be all right
 I hope
 We're gonna be all right
