[Lyric] Dorie Off To Atlanta (Mark Halliday)

Jen? Hi, it’s Dorie. I’m on the bus to LaGuardia. … Atlanta
What? … Maybe. I’m not really sure. I mean his schedule is so
Whacked
Y’know? … But anyway. I was telling you about Marcie. Yeah
So
I said to her, I said, Marcie, this one seems different, y’know?
I said the last few guys you’ve dated–from what you’ve told
Me–
I mean frankly– … Yeah. I said, Marcie, they might be
Like very charming, y’know, and with great jobs, but frankly–
What it comes down to is, Let’s hit the bed
And in the morning, Thanks for the excellent coffee. Y’know?
But this guy– … What? It’s Jason. Yeah
So I said Marcie, from what you’ve said, Jason sounds
Different–
And from what Bob said about him also. … Bob knows him
From some project last fall. So I said Marcie, you’ve had, what
Two coffees, two lunches, and a dinner, and he still hasn’t– …
No, Bob says he’s definitely straight. …
I think there was a divorce like six years ago or something. But
My–
What? … That’s right, yeah, I did. At Nathan’s party after some
Show …
Yeah, “The Duchess of Malfi,” I forgot I told you. What? …
Only for five minutes–one cigarette, y’know? … Kind of low-
Key
Like thoughtful. But my point is– … Yeah, exactly! So I said
Marcie, this is a guy who understands, y’know
That bed is like part of something, y’know?
Like it’s not the big objective for godsake. It’s like an aspect–
What? … Exactly–it’s an expression of something much more–
Yes!–it’s like, Can we be companions in life, y’know?
So I said, Marcie, for godsake–if you don’t give this guy
Like a serious chance, somebody else–y’know? … Right
I mean let’s face it– … Jen? I’m losing you here–am I breaking
Up?
Jen, I’ll call you from the airport–Okay bye
