And Lyrics

RICHIE

 And What if Im next?

 What if Im next?

 What am I gonna do

 I haven't got a clue

 I gotta think of something

 What does he want

 What does he want

 Stories from the past

 I better find one fast

 

 DON, MAGGIE, GREG, BEBE, RICHIE, VAL, PAUL

 What should I say What can I tell him

 

 BOBBY

 As I got older I kept getting stranger and stranger, 

 I used to go down to this Busy intersection near my house

 rush hour and direct traffic. I just wanted To see if 

 anybody'd notice me. That's when I started breaking people's

 houses -- oh, I didn't steal anything --just re-arrange 

 their furniture. And

 

 VAL

 And Orphan at three

 Orphan at three

 Mother and dad both gone

 Raised by a sweet ex-con

 Tied up and raped at seven

 Seriously Seriously

 Nothing too obscene

 I'd better keep it clean

 

 DON, CONNIE, MIKE, SHEILA, RICHIE, VAL, DIANA

 What should I say? What can I tell him?

 

 BOBBY 

 You wanna hear about school? I went to P.S. Shit. See, 

 I was the kind of kid that was always getting slammed

 into lockers and stuff like that. Not only by students -- 

 by the teachers too. Oh and I hated sports, hated sports. 

 And sports were very big. I mean, it was jock city, but 

 I didn't make one team. See I couldn't catch a ball if it

 had elmer's glue on it. And didn't my father have to be 

 this big ex-football hero, he was so humiliated, he didn't 

 know what to tell his friends. So he told 'em all I had 

 polio. On father's day I'd to limp for him, and

 

 JUDY

 And God, Im a wreck 

 God, Im a wreck

 I don't know where to start

 I'm gonna fall apart

 Where are my childhood memories?

 Who were the boys

 What were my toys

 Gone beyond recall!

 And why am I so tall

 What should I say

 

 

 VAL, RICHIE, MAGGIE, CONNIE, JUDY, DIANA

 What can I tell him?

 

 JUDY

 And

 

 CONNIE

 And

 

 RICHIE

 And

 

 VAL

 And

 

 BOBBY

 (out of pantomime) 

 And mother kept saying: "If you don't stop burning brother's 

 toys, we're going to have to send you away." And I was always

 thinking up these spectacular ways how to kill myself. But then 

 I realized -- to commit suicide in buffalo is redundant!
