Wonderful Music Text

---

STARBUCK
Lizzie—come with me!

LIZZIE
What did you say?

STARBUCK
I said it’s lonely as dyin’ out there—I want you to come with me!

FILE
Lizzie—don’t go!

LIZZIE
What did you say?

FILE
I said—I need you here, Lizzie. Stay—with—me!

STARBUCK
Come with me, Lizzie!

FILE
Stay with me, Lizzie!

STARBUCK
Come with me, Lizzie
And we’ll have music!

A rollin’ wagon is music!
The sun in the mornin’ is music!
And sleepin’ together out under the sky!
Bein’ alive till you die!
Wonderful music!
Travelin’ music!

Lizzie, come on and come with me!

LIZZIE
Is it really me?

FILE
Stay with me, Lizzie,
And we’ll have music.

A house full of family of music!
And sittin’ together is music!

And watchin’ the children come runnin’ inside,
Runnin’ with arms open wide.
Wonderful music!
Family music!

Lizzie, why don’t you stay with me?

LIZZIE
Now I’m no longer alone!
Now I’m no longer alone!

STARBUCK (& FILE)
A rollin’ wagon is music!
(A house full of family of music!)
The sun in the mornin’ is music!
(And sittin’ together is music!)
And sleepin’ together out under the sky!
(And watchin’ the children come runnin’)
Bein’ alive till you die!
(Watch them runnin’ inside)
Wonderful music!
(Wonderful music!)
Travelin’ music!
(Family music!)
Lizzie, come with me!
(Lizzie, stay with me!)

LIZZIE
Pop! Pop! What’ll I do?

HC
Whatever you do, just remember you’ve been asked.
You don’t ever have to go through life a woman who ain’t been asked!

STARBUCK
Lizzie, you come with me you’ll be so beautiful you’ll light up the world!

LIZZIE
Oh no, Starbuck—don’t say that, no!

STARBUCK
Lizzie, you come with me, you won’t ever have to be Lizzie no more—you’ll be Melisande!

LIZZIE
Starbuck, you said the wrong thing!

FILE
Melisande? Her name is Lizzie Curry.

STARBUCK
It’s not good enough—not for her!

FILE
It’s good enough for me!

STARBUCK
Lizzie, come on!

LIZZIE
No—No, I have to be Lizzie! Melisande…
that’s a name for one night!—but Lizzie’ll do me my whole life long!

STARBUCK
Well, folks! Sorry about the rain—but then, I didn’t stay my full time!
So, here’s your hundred dollars back. Another day, maybe—in a dry season! So long, folks.

LIZZIE
Thank you, File! Thank you!

FILE
Well! Lizzie! You’ve got your hair down!
