We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself.
The old guys-in-drag gag was revived in this 1980 sex farce. Henry and Kip were two young studs working at a New York City advertising agency, Henry as a junior copywriter (and aspiring novelist) and Kip as a junior illustrator (and aspiring painter). They were also roommates, but one day they found a wrecking ball in the bedroom--seems the building, was being demolished. Office receptionist Amy, who was smitten with Henry, came up with the bright idea that they move into her building, which just happened to be an all-girl residence--the Susan B. Anthony Hotel. Henry and Kip liked the low rent and the idea of being surrounded by beautiful women in various stages of undress, so in they went, gussied up as Hildegarde and Buffy. Amy was the only one who knew their true identities, even though Henry and Kip kept showing up at the hotel as themselves (passed off as Hildegarde's and Buffy's brothers). Sonny and Isabelle were two sexpots at the hotel and, and Lilly Sinclair its fearsome manager. Ruth Dunbar was the idea-appropriating boss at the office.
Eventually the boys revealed their ruse to the girls at the hotel, but nobody else seemed to catch on. They also went into the commercial production business with Amy, taking over the failing firm owned by Henry's Uncle Mort. Sonny pursued her career as a nurse, while being pursued by Kip, and Isabelle took over as manager of the hotel, while waiting for her big break as an actress.
NBC aired reruns of Bosom Buddies during the summer of 1984.

Wendie Jo Sperber of 'Bosom Buddies' Dies
Thursday December 1, 2005 1:37 PM ET (AP)
Actress Wendie Jo Sperber, who starred opposite Tom Hanks on TV's "Bosom Buddies" and who in his words became "a walking inspiration" after she contracted cancer, has died. She was in her 40s.
Sperber died at home Tuesday after an eight-year battle with breast cancer, publicist Jo-Ann Geffen said Wednesday.
A Los Angeles native, Sperber appeared in dozens of television shows and movies, including all three "Back to the Future" films.
Her publicist first said Sperber was 46, but later said she was 43 based on an Internet resource. The Associated Press in September reported Sperber's age as 47.
Sperber also had roles in Steven Spielberg's "1941," Robert Zemeckis' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," and Neal Israel's "Moving Violations" and "Bachelor Party." Her television credits include "Murphy Brown," "Private Benjamin," "Will & Grace" and "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter."
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, the actress became an advocate for cancer care. In 2001, she founded the weSPARK Cancer Support Center
Sperber helped unveil and promote a breast cancer stamp for the U.S. Postal Service in 1998, Geffen said.
"The memory of Wendie Jo is that of a walking inspiration," Hanks said in a statement. "She met the challenges of her illness with love, cheer, joy and altruism. We are going to miss her as surely as we are all better for knowing her."
Sperber is survived by a son and daughter, her parents, two sisters and a brother.
