The Happy Time (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
He's Back
He's back
He's back
My lovable prodigal's home again, out of the blue
It's odd
So odd
I woke up this morning aware a disaster was due
He's back
He's back
I feel a familiar anxiety quicken my heart
If memory serves
You shatter the nerves
We'll wait and we'll wonder
When will the calamity start?
He's back (Jacques)
He's back (is home again)
My lovable prodigal's home again out of the blue (back in town)
It's odd (Jacques)
So odd (is home, and home is)
I woke up this morning aware a disaster was due (upside down)
He's back (Jacques)
He's back (walked in again)
I feel a familiar anxiety quicken my heart (calm and strong)
If memory serves (Oh brother, dear)
He'll shatter the nerves (we're glad you're here, but)
We'll wait and we'll wonder
When will the calamity start?
Not that there's not the warm affection
Glowing in every breast
We need him, we know, but even so
We need our rest
Not that we aren't glad to see him
Not that he isn't dear
But three little words for "trouble's coming"
Three little words that spell misfortune
Three little words to make you shake are
"Jacques is here"
He's back (not that there's not the warm affection)
He's back (glowing in every breast) (walked in again)
I feel the familiar anxiety quicken my heart (we need him, we know, but even so we need our rest)
If memory serves (oh brother dear) (not that we aren't glad to see him)
He'll shatter the nerves (we're glad you're here) (not that he isn't dear)
We'll wait and we'll wonder (but three little words)
When will the calamity start? (to make you shake are)
(Jacques is here)
Jacques is here
Jacques is here
He's home
He's home
We're terribly happy to see him
As everyone knows
He's home
He's home
We'll probably need a vacation the minute he goes
Not that there's not the warm affection
Glowing in every breast
We need him, we know, but even so
We need our rest
Not that we aren't glad to see him
Not that he isn't dear
But three little words for "trouble's coming"
Three little words that spell misfortune
Three little words to make you shake are
"Jacques is here"
He's back
My lovable prodigal's home again, out of the blue

So odd
