When You’re Right; You’re Right Lyrics – Lauren Bacall
Singer: Lauren Bacall
Title: When You’re Right; You’re Right
Gerald, i think my record speaks for itself. i think i can look back and safely say: i was right.
That’s right!
I was perfectly right.
Right.
My instincts were valid and strong, right?
That’s right!
When you’re right, you’re right
Right!
I know when i’m right
Can you honestly say i was wrong?
Right—wrong!
I was right
Right
That’s right
I was perfectly right
Right
I was and i’ve been all along
Right?
That’s right!
When you’re right, you’re right
I know when i’m right
It’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
Right?
That’s right!
I mean, even in my personal life, i’ve always made the right decision. when i married larry i was eighteen, he was twenty, we were both journalism students in missouri and all he wantеd to be was william allen white. i had a job at a local tv station, i was only doing thе weather, but some network executive happened to see me one time. so, i knew i had to go to new york, and larry would be happier editing a newspaper in colorado or somewhere, so it was time for a break. and though we both still cared for each other, he had to go his way, i had to go mine, so the split up was not a mistake!
Now larry’s remarried and blissful out west
And i love my career, it was all for the best!
I was right!
That’s right!
I was perfectly right
Right.
My instincts were valid and strong, right?
That’s right!
When you’re right, you’re right
Right!
I know when i’m right
It’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
Right?
That’s right!
Need we even mention my professional life? when i started doing hard news, those decisions weren’t easy, you know. i remember interviewing nassar and saying, “look, gamal, do me a favor and do not invade israel,” but no, no, he went right ahead. then there was ehrlichman and haldeman, i said, “boys, you’ve got to tell the truth!” what did they do? lies, lies, every word that they said. then alexi petrikov, the russian dancer, said he was bored of the bolshoi. i told him, “defect!” but he was too meek! now, a friend of mine just got back from moscow, says he’s frustrated, unhappy, and dancing spartacus four times a week!
Now, a braggart, i’m not
Right
But doesn’t it show
My margin for error’s exceedingly low?
…i was right!
That’s right!
I was perfectly right
Right.
My instincts were valid and strong, right?
That’s right!
When you’re right, you’re right
Right!
I know when i’m right
It’s remarkably rare that i’m wrong
Right?
That’s right!
Now we have the second rate cartoonist, my god, what’s all the uproar about? obviously, i made the right decision again. all i did was present a well-considered analysis of how the funnies are trashing the arts, and it sets off this ridiculous flap! so he creates me as a character in his puerile little strip, to put klutz or whatever the hell that cat’s name is on the map. well, when i get that publicity-grabbing exploitive detestable little weasel in here, will i make him squirm. i bet i can tell you what he looks like, too! he’s probably a short, napoleonic, bald, fat, pudgy, pasty-faced worm!
Yes, sir?
Sam craig to see miss harding.
Miss harding? mr. sam craig is here.
Wonderful. please send mr. sam craig in.
There’s only one way to treat vermin like that
I’ll show him what cats are
That beady-eyed ra—
Mr. craig?
Now, look, miss harding—
I was wrong
That’s right
I was totally wrong!
No!
And not to confess would be small!
That’s right, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong
I know when i’m wrong
And you’re not what i pictured at all
What?
Right, i was bad
That’s right
And i must’ve been mad
But my bark is much worse than my bite
Is that right?
So, let’s cool it, let’s
I acknowledge my debts
I know…
Can i buy you dinner tonight?
Alright
Terrific, what are we waiting for?
Uh, miss harding, you’re not actually leaving now, are you?
That’s right!
But it’s only five o’clock!
Right!
And you haven’t answered any of your calls yet!
That’s right!
And the senator called, and cardinal cooke, and james beard, and irving lazar, and kurt waldheim
Right!
And you’re going without answering any of them?
Goodnight, gerald.
Uh, mr. craig, i appeal to you, sir. you will have her back within the hour, right?
Wrong.
Wrong?
Wrong!
