Leo at Work / What Am I Waiting For? - Ben Platt/Micaela Diamond/Parade Cast

Lyrics by：Jason Robert Brown

Composed by：Jason Robert Brown

Ever more lives the dream of Atlanta

Ever more her eternal pride

Strong and sure is the dream of Atlanta

When her brothers are unified

Twenty eight boxes of caps

At four dollars the gross

This is wrong this is wrong

I can fix thiswait

Nine more boxes in back

Twenty eight minus nine

And then thirty one girls on the line

Suit and a tie times six one eighty six

Terribly quiet divide seven sixty

Quite a well paid position God

All the noise and on Yontiff yet

Go on Lucille

For cents a girl for the week

Bring him his coffee

At ten cents an hour

Straight from New York Lucille

Isn't he smart Lucille

Mama he's comin' around today

Mama he's at the door

Mama I don't know what I should say

Well what are you waitin' for Lucille

What am I waiting for

This is wrong this is wrong it's an

Eight not a six

House and a maid

Two sets of China

Everything I was wishin'

New winter coat

Real ermine collar

Who would have known Lucille

Married so well Lucille

How can he want me so plain so prim

How can he be so sure

Don't I wish I could be sure like him

Like Leo

Yes Lucille I am building a life for us

For Leo

No Lucille we cannot have a picnic

Didn't my wishes come true for me

The day he walked through the door

Isn't he all that I knew he'd be

Brilliant and filled with humility

Loyal and stable as any tree

So why do I wait for more

What am I waiting for

Twenty three cartons of leads

At two sixty the gross

This is wrong this is wrong

I can fix this

Hey

Yes

I came for my pay

Name

Mary Phagan
