Okay, so I've seen (and loved) the show, and have been listening to the cast recording pretty much nonstop for the past few days. However, there are a few words that I just can't make out, and the lyrics don't seem to be online anywhere. Hopefully someone here can help.

In Keys (Marianna), what is the lyric immediately following:

She was kind of an acrobat
Oh you were lucky to find a chair...

I've listened to it over and over, but just can't seem to make out the next line. It sounds like "something something something sat" but I really can't tell. Anybody know for sure?

WALTSUMMERSPI (look on the PS Love Thread) is pretty good with the lyrics.

I don't think it is chair....although the word sat is clear. I am hearing something about sweeter or sweetest dumpling when she sat...a reference to her shape perhaps?

I think I hear the phrases "Swedish girlfriend" and the word "everywhere" in that line, but I could be having auditory hallucinations.

NARRATOR
She had a crazy mixed up flat,
But he wasn't thinking about that.
You know the bed was kinda hard,
A prison cot cum yoga mat.

Ten thousand paintings everywhere,
She was kind of an acrobat.
Oh, you were lucky to find a chair,
The sweetest dump in which he'd sat

She had nude photos everywhere,
From freaky deeky to plain arty.
Some of her girlfriends showered there,
As you can see, Amsterdam’s a party!

LOL, Frogs_! That's why the entire libretto and book need to be published!

I agree, I'd love to see the libretto published. Hopefully with some introductory remarks from Stew and Heidi.
