I’ve always known what lies ahead
Remembered what my papa said
You only reap the harvest that you sow
And all my life I tried my best
Better grades than all the rest
I’ve always been defined by what I know

And once I found that joyous sound
piano in the music room at school
Just five years old
My heart was sold
The only kid that thought that scales were cool
The only kid that thought that scales were cool

So mama worked, she’d never sleep
Piano lessons [bad word] cheap
That’s when I learned a mother’s love is all
She scrimped and (?) and planned and schemed
And when she tucked me in we dreamed
That one day I would play Carnegie Hall

One Christmas Eve, would you believe
piano stood beside the Christmas tree
The sacrifice my papa made for me

I once was sure I knew the score
Before this "boy meets girl" came into sight
And now this guy is bound to try
To catch my eye but then again, he might
Perhaps the scales can wait for just one night

OLIVER:
So why did I ask her?
Who cares, if she's here?
Stay calm, keep it focused
Look cool when she's near

I'm sure the only thing on which we both agree
Is what a waste of time tonight is gonna be
That's if [bad word] at all
Well, we'll see

JENNY:
I'm fine with a bistro, or buy me a drink
But why leave a library to freeze at a rink?
To think he had a choice of dates from to Z
Whatever made him think that this would dazzle me?
He boasted he would score
Well, we'll see

OLIVER:
She said she would, which means she might [bad word] to the game on a winter's night
Another game on a winter's night
winter's night

JENNY:
 [bad word]  he's a preppy
Who cares how he's built?

OLIVER:
She's cute, but Italian
Just think of the guilt

JENNY:
I've lost the will to live and feeling in my feet

OLIVER:
I bet that she's the sort that can't admit defeat

BOTH:
I'll say I've had enough
If we meet

JENNY:
Is this for his or my delight?

OLIVER:
She claimed she could and so she might

ALL: [bad word] to the game on a winter's night

ENSEMBLE:
Another game on a winter's night
winter's night

JENNY:
So why am I here?
(MAN: Why is she here?)
I know his plan
(WOMAN: Guys love a plan)
Impress me till I can't resist
Believe me, I can
(MAN: They all think they can)
If he thinks this is paradise
He'll have to keep his dreams on ice
(WOMEN: He won't ask twice)

(People cheering and yelling at the game)

JENNY:
He'll risk, he'll score
He'll win, he'll fight
To win this game on a winter's night

ENSEMBLE:
Another game on a winter's night
winter's night

JENNY:
Too bad it's all fighting
Too long and too loud
But hey, he was thrilling
I guess I was proud

JENNY and OLIVER:
I wonder if we'll celebrate the day we met
Or is this just a crazy time we'll both forget?
Let's quit while we're ahead
Not just yet

JENNY:
He's cool

OLIVER:
She's hot

BOTH:
Let's hope I'm right

JENNY:
We could

OLIVER:
We should

BOTH:
Who knows? We might.
Another game on a winter's night

ALL:
Another game on a winter's night
Another game on a winter's night
