Leo at Work / What Am I Waiting For? [2023 Broadway Cast Recording]

Jason 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 this- wait
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
"Go on, Lucille..." And on Yontiff yet...
"Bring him his coffee..." Four cents a girl for the week...
At ten cents an hour...

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
