What can I say?
I still love you, you son of a bitch
Norman New York’s gray and cold
But somehow I miss that

/ Norman
And running the Gull Reef Club Bordered on hand to hand combat

/ Henny
You beat the odds, water Gods now it’s time for “shalom” Hey Mr. Paperman, I think it’s time to go home

/ Chorus
(sung by the cast)
Time to go home Norman
Time to go home Norman
Hey Mistuh Papuh-mon
Time to go home
Chasin’ illusions can get quite confusin’ Hey Mr. Papuh-mon time to go home

/ Norman
Henny I’m sorry I hurt you That’s all I can say

/ Henny
Who knows this whole episode Just might end up on Broadway / Norman To hell with bureaucracy and island mystery

/ Henny
Let’s clear the air dear but no more affairs here

/ Norman
To hell with the hill crowd and life or death parties

/ Henny
I know a guy who has contacts at Sardi’s

/ Duet
Hey mister (Mrs.) Paperman I think it’s time to go home
/ Chorus (sung by the cast) Time to go home Norman Time to go home Norman Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon Time to go home / Chasin’ illusions can Get quite confusin’ Hey Mr. Papuh-Mon Time to go home / Time to go home Norman Time to go home Norman Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon Time to go home / Chasin’ illusions can Get quite confusin’ Hey Mr. Paperman Time to go home / Time to go home Norman Time to go home Norman Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon Time to go home / Chasin’ illusions Get quite confusin’ Hey Mr. Paperman Time to go home
