David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire

TRACY Oh, oh, oh Woke up today Feeling the way i always do Oh, oh, oh Hungry for something That i can't eat Then i hear that beat The rhythm of town Starts calling me down It's like a message from High above Oh, oh, oh Pulling me out To the smiles and the Streets that i love
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) Good morning Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore And some day when i take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me
Oh, oh, oh Look at my hair What "do" can compare with mine today? Oh, oh, oh, I've got my hairspray and radio I'm ready to go
The rats on the street All dance round my feet They seem to say "Tracy, it's up to you" So, oh, oh Don't hold me back 'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore There's the flasher who lives next door There's the bum on his bar room stool They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore And some day when i take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me
I know every step I know every song I know there's a place where i belong I see all those party lights shining ahead So someone invite me Before i drop dead!
ENSEMBLE Before she drops dead!
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance 'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star Oh, oh, oh Something inside of me makes me move When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no But my feet tell me go! It's like a drummer inside my heart Oh, oh, oh Don't make me wait One more moment for my life to start...
ENSEMBLE Good morning, good morning Waiting for my life to start
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) I love you Baltimore Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony
And i promise Baltimore That some day when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me...
WILBUR Styles keep a changin' The world's re-arrangin' But Edna, you're timeless to me Hemlines are shorter A beer costs a quarter But time cannot take what comes free
You're like a stinky old cheese, babe Just gettin' riper with age You're like a fatal disease, babe But there's no cure So let this fever rage
Some folks can't stand it Say time is a bandit But i take the opposite view Cause when i need a lift Time brings a gift Another day with you A twist or a waltz It's all the same schmaltz With just a change in the scenery You'll never be old hat That's that! You're timeless to me
EDNA Oh, Wilbur!
Fads keep a-fadin' Castro's invading! But wilbur, you're timeless to me Hairdos are higher Mine feels like barbed wire But you say i'm chic as can be!
You're like a rare vintage ripple A vintage they'll never forget So pour me a teeny weenie triple And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet! I can't stop eating Your hairline's receding Soon there'll be nothing at all So, you'll wear a wig While i roast a pig Hey! Pass that geritol
Glenn miller had class That chubby checker's a gas But they all pass eventually You'll never be passe Hip hooray! You're timeless to me
(They dance.)
EDNA You're like a broken down chevy All you need is a fresh coat of paint
WILBUR And Edna, you got me goin' hot and heavy You're fat and old, but baby, boring you ain't!
WILBUR & EDNA Some folks don't get it But we never fret it 'Cause we know that time is our friend It's plain to see That you're stuck with me Until the bitter end
And we got a kid Who's blowin' the lid Off the turnblad family tree
EDNA You'll always hit the spot Big shot! You're timeless to me
WILBUR You'll always be du jour Mon amour You're timeless to me
Congratulations, boys. We've just celebrated our own 25th last September, (child brides) and we're both working together in "The Producers" (Australian production) at the moment so that's a nice bonus. Plus we got so many lovely gifts...But how many silver frames can one household accommodate? And I don't mean walking frames!!
