The song’s a four-part harmony. Joe, Mr. Liskusky, Millie and Rose Marie all sing about how miserable they are with their lives and each other as a period of five years passes by — Joe at his desk, Mr. Liskusky in his office, Millie at her house and Rose Marie in her mansion. The upbeat lively lounge music belies our characters unhappy lyrics.
