ORIGINAL SONG: • Just for Once

[@TreasureNelson]

Ruth Fleming (spoken):
No, I haven't seen your grill brush, Maurey!
Ah- Yeah! I used it to brush my hair this morning, can't you tell?
Oh, don't leave me out here with the meat, Maurey!
Medium wh- How can something be Medium and Well, Maurey?
Ugh, Maurey...
I turned 40 today
To Me:
Ruth Flemming (sung):
Saturday we installed a new bay window
And it was something right, out of a dream, I never had
Saturday belongs to soccer practice
I pack their little cakes, for after the games, they nеver win
And life is full of all of the trappings of thе well-to-do
And life goes on, as I shop for shutters to obstruct the view
And life is fine, if only it were mine
But just for once I’d be the center of attention
Just for once, remember what a life can be
Just for once I feel the light inside, the burning of a candle
Living just for once
Living just for-
39, I lose my hair under careful chemo treatment
And I was not unhappy, about the attention I ensnared
Judge me
It fucking worked, I’m fucking here, he’s fucking her
I’m disappointed
There’s still carpet in the bathroom
And of the two, who’s the worse for wear
Me
We love our dogs, especially Captain
He’s a bullshit mix (heh)
The pool is out, the neighbors come rushing
Maury Prefers their kids
And the world's a stage when you’re middle of age
But just for once my life could be just what I wanted
Just for once I'd feel the spark that I once knew
Just for once I’d feel the fight inside, the burning of a candle
Something more than I can handle
Just for once
Should flip the burgers now
Should I double check it's well done on the outside not within
Oh
Should I let the coals burn out?
Should I let the years cook my body down in front of him
Oh-oh
Just for once
Just for once
Just for once
The other day the Johnsons borrowed my tap shoes
Their eldest daughter is beginning tap
It was no bother, I never ever use them
I used to dance
I used to dance
Ruth Flemming, spoken:
I found your grill brush, Maurey. It was right here, all along...

Looking at the lyrics, I think this is one of Jeff’s best works. Usually people complain that his lyrics are bad, but the double meanings in this song are incredible.

[@DirtyBoySoup]

i completely agree, jeff knocked it out of the park with this musical on lyrics, melodies, everything

[@shinypikagaming]

3:51 Nerdy Prudes Must Die is definitely their most solid use of motifs, especially the “If I can finally be cool” riff that they love using…

[@DirtyBoySoup]

as a sondheim junkie i love seeing motifs in musicals, especially when they sound as amazing as this-- this entire musical is basically just motifs sewn together to make new songs and i am NOT complaining lol

[@heatherdukeswifeandgirlfriend]

contrary to most people, i think this song is close to the best. maybe i just really love ruth fleming.

[@nightwingsbabe2871]

one of jeffs most complex songs very falsetto but to character act and sing this flawlessly is a goregous work he really pushed himself in a way i havent heard from him probably ever

[@EarthToEris]

This is absolutely perfect! I’m doing this for a performance and I’m so glad you made this. Also, can you please make more? I’m using a bunch of songs from NPMD for a performance I’m doing and tracks are really helpful

[@DirtyBoySoup]

I'm aiming to do the whole musical by around this time next week!

[@EarthToEris]

@@DirtyBoySoup thank you so much! You’re amazing!

[@martinavalente6814]

I love this song so much, I will give much use out of this video, thank you for your service. (My neighbors will hate you)

[@DirtyBoySoup]

it is an honor to serve 🫡

[@stevead2560]

My neighbors are always listening to really loud NPMD songs >:l
...whether they like to or not! >:D

[@bethg9064]

Is it ok if i use this for an audition i have coming up? Im obsessed with NPMD and this fits the character too well.

[@DirtyBoySoup]
