Have I Told You Lately? (Reprise 1) lyrics
by Santino Fontana
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
Harry, you sure it's gonna be alright?
[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
As long as you're with me and I'm with you, Meyer
It's gonna be better than alright
[HARRY BOGEN]
Have I mentioned lately? I'm glad you took me
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
Better than alright, okay, okay, so
[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
So here's what we do first
We go down to the bank and we open a special account in the name of Meyer S. Bushkin
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
Why?
[HARRY BOGEN]
When I count up all the guys I could've been stuck with
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
But Harry, why?
[HARRY BOGEN]
I sure was in luck with the one I drew
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
Harry
[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
It's the government, Meyer, the tax situation
Teddy was supposed to be taking caring of it, he didn't
It's killing us
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
So?
[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
So, we draw money out of the business, we put in the special account
Then we write checks on the account made out to cash
A special present for Ms. Springer off the books
We draw up the cash
A palm at Fischer Fabrics needs a little greasing
We draw up the cash
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
And that's okay?
[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
Everybody up and down the street, they all do it
Hell, Pulvermacher practically invited it
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
He never mentioned it
[HARRY BOGEN]
In the rush of little everyday things
Sometimes you don't say things
(spoken)
How 'bout it, partner?
[MEYER BUSHKIN, spoken]
Uh, I don't know
I guess, well, mm
If you're sure it's okay
[HARRY BOGEN]
Have I told you lately? How much your partner
[HARRY BOGEN & MEYER BUSHKIN]
Loves you
