Analyse de la chanson par son co-auteur, Marc Shaiman (VO):

"This is a song we wrote with our great friend Laura Kenyon. Three lyricists on a song...that's cozy! It was written for a musical version of Gypsy Rose Lee's "The G-String Murders". It has been featured at two Broadway Bares (for obvious reasons) and when we heard Tom & Julia were having a "trunk song" concert, we knew just the song for Megan Hilty to conquer.

The orchestration is by me and Brad Dechter."

Sure, go ahead and dream, girlie 
But don't forget from whence you came
You're just tryna blow off steam, girlie 
Not that I blame you, every night's the same

You finish the show
You rinse out your tights
You dive into a dive and raise a toast to better nights
You get a little drunk
And maybe start a few fights
But you grin and bear it

You run for the train
The one you just missed
You're out of cigarettes
You've got a headache and you're pissed
You lie awake counting all the bald heads you kissed
But you grin and bear it

Wake up, quick, smell the coffee
It's a brand-new day
If you wake up lonely that's the price you pay
Anyway

You run from the train
It's a quarter to two
You slap a pound of war paint on and barely make your cue
You hit the stage and smile
'Cause, shit, what else can you do?
Or say grin and bear four shows a day

Oh, wake up, quick, change your costume
Second act is on
Life ain't just a rat race, it's a marathon
And then you're gone

So pity yourself
But know in your gut
That no one ever died because their life was in a rut
And learn a little lesson from a gal who says "What the hey?"
Grin and bear it, grin and bear it, grin and bear it
Grin and bear it, four shows a day!
