    作曲 : Stephen Sondheim
    Barbra:Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this
    Producer 1:Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.
    Producer 2:No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.
    Producer 3:He's right!
    Producer 1:Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!
    Barbra: What is commercial?
    Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays.
    Producer 1: I mean - personally, I love it, but
    Barbra (sung):Be nice, girl!
    Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material.
    Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price, girl!
    Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push.
    Barbra (sung):They like to give advice, girl!
    Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky.
    Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice, girl!
    Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing!
    Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work!
    Barbra(spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?
    Producer 3: This is like your old stuff!
    Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy.
    Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids.
    Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot.
    Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?
    Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy.
    Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this.
    Barbra (sung): Financing it is not!
    Producer 2: Why take chances?
    Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!
    Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but
    Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!
    Producer 2: You have to think about you career!
    Barbra (sung): It has to come to life!
    Barbra (sung): Bit by bit, putting it together
    Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
    Every moment makes a contribution
    Every little detail plays a parts
    Having just a vision's no solution
    Everything depends on execution
    Putting it together, that's what counts!
    Ounce by ounce, putting in together
    Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art
    First of all you need a good foundation
    Otherwise it's risky from the start
    Takes a little cocktail conversation
    But without the proper preparation
    Having just a vision's no solution
    Everything depends on execution
    The art of making art
    Is putting it together, bit by bit
    Producer 2: Do we really need all these musicians?
    Barbra: Link by link, making the connections, yes we do!
    Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes
    Learning how to play the politician
    Like you play piano, bass and drums
    Otherwise you'll find your composition
    Isn't gonna get much exhibition
    Art isn't easy
    Every minor detail is a major decision
    Have to keep things in scale
    Have to hold to your vision
    Producer 1: Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?
    What's a little cocktail conversation
    If it gets the funds for your foundation
    Every time I start to feel defensive
    I remember vinyl is expensive!
    Producer 3: Would you agree to do an interview?
    Barbra: Maybe one!
    Dot by dot, building up the image
    Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay
    Still if you remember your objective
    Not give all your privacy away
    A little bit of hype can be effective
    As long as you can keep it in perspective
    Even when you get some recognition
    Everything you do you still audition
    Art isn't easy
    Overnight you're a trend
    You're the right combination
    Then the trend's at an end
    You're suddenly last year's sensation!
    All they ever want is repetition
    All they really like is what they know
    Gotta keep a link with your tradition
    Gotta learn to trust your intuition
    While you re-establish your position
    So that you can be on exhibit...
    So that your work can be on exhibition!
    Be new, girl!
    They tell you till they're blue, girl!
    You're new, or else you're through, girl!
    And even if it's true, girl,
    You do what you can do!
    Bit by bit, Putting it together
    Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day
    All it takes is time and perseverance
    With a little luck along the way
    Putting in a personal appearance
    Gathering supporters and adherents...
    Producer 1: Well, she's an original!
    Producer 3: WAS!
    Barbra: Mapping out the songs but in addition
    Harmonizing each negotiation
    Balancing the part that's all musicians
    With the part that's strictly presentation
    Balancing the money with the mission
    Till you have the perfect orchestration
    Even if you do have the suspicion
    That it's taking all your concentration
    The art of making art
    Is putting it together, bit by bit
    Beat by beat, part by part
    Sheet by sheet, chart by chart Track by track, bit by bit,
    Reel by reel, pout by pout
    Stack by stack, snit by snit,
    meal by meal, shout by shout
    Deal by deal, spat by spat
    Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt
    And that... Is the state of the art!
