Nice Thought by The Original London Cast of American Psycho Lyrics

[Mrs Bateman]
He was a beautiful child
He made me laugh, he made me smile
The golden path was paved
Still, he was so well behaved
It’s a funny thing
He loved to dance, he loved to sing
Such beautiful blonde curls
I knew one day he’d rule the world

[Jean]
It’s a nice thought
Patrick as a little child
Playing at the seaside
His spirit free, his laughter wild
It’s a nice thought, to think that underneath
He’s baring his sweet soul, not his perfect teeth

[Mrs Bateman]
I shouldn’t say it aloud
Don’t you know he makes his mother proud
I hope he’ll settle down
He’s so great with kids now
You seem sweet, not like the other girls I meet
You two would look so nice together
If you wore a dress and your shoes were better
[Jean]
It’s a nice thought
But it’s just a daydream
Getting to know him is harder than it may seem
It’s a nice thought
But I’m just a secretary
And all of this romance seems a little scary

[Spoken pat]
Patrick: Afterward, I try to remember something, anything, from my childhood
And all I come up with is a picture from my mother’s bedside table. My father
He’s wearing a six-button, double-breasted sportscoat from Brooks Brothers
He’s looking right into the camera. There’s something wrong with his eyes
