| I've always been curious about that lyric. I think we can assume that many people have gotten Bobby's "juice," over the probably 20 or so years that he's likely been sexually active. In fact, we even see one character get the juice of him right on stage (usually, depending on the production). And that character is one of the characters singing this lyric. Any Person, April? You mean, besides yourself? Besides, likely, the other two women singing with you at this moment, as well? Ladies, you've all gotten the juice of Bobby, so what are you talking about here? |

| As suggestive as you propose that lyric to be, I don't think that's what it means in the context of the song. (Though perhaps not as crazy as the guy who once tried to convince me that "I Know Things Now" was specifically about anal sex, but I digress. Sorry for bringing that up.) I think the intention of the song is much closer to "All The Single Ladies" than "Satisfaction" lol. Also, of course, the loose time structure of the show means that we really don't know when April and Bobby spent the night together in relation to the song. And of course if the song actually is indicative of a concrete event when the 3 of them were hounding him together (which seems unlikely). |

| I agree with your interpretation of that "juice" lyric. Also, the anal sex interpretation of I Know Things Now is making me genuinely L-O-L. Not sure I'll ever hear the song in quite the same way. Did Sondheim write that one in his basement? | |
