---

CHORUS
Wrap your feet in Price and Son
Our work is tried and true
Practical, Pragmatical
Steadfast and Steady Too (Steady Too)
If you stroll or saunter and/or bike, jog, hike or run
The prudent shoe for you to choose is
Price and Son

MR. PRICE
You might think beauty comes in spring and sparrow
When the sun rise, it’s the morning dew
But if you walk the straight and narrow
You’ll find the elegance and comfort is a—
Do you know what the most beautiful thing in the world is Charlie?

YOUNG CHARLIE
A shoe!

MR. PRICE

The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie,

YOUNG CHARLIE AND MR. PRICE
The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world!

MR. PRICE
Charlie, it’s beautiful

For generations have paved the way before you
You’ll be next in line when my time is through
And there’s a saying handed down I’ve found of value
That you can tell about the fella from his

YOUNG CHARLIE

YOUNG LOLA
Feels like I’m dancing across the high wire
Or bravely soaring up into the blue
Just like a rocket looks with sparks and fire
Feels like the magic never ends inside these

UNKNOWN
Take those things off your feet and get inside here stupid boy!

NICOLA
Charlie, here are the shoes I told you about! Come have a look-see!
Aren’t they the most necessary things ever?
If you want to slip a ring on my finger, you’ll first slip these shoes on my feet.

CHARLIE
It’s a tad posh for life in North Hampton, wouldn’t you say?

NICOLA
Then good thing we’re moving to London!
And won’t they make a fittin farewell to the stink of cattle farms and tanin leather?
Oh we may have been born in a small factory town,
But we sure as hell don’t have to die there!

CHARLIE
You see the price? There’s three months rent!

NICOLA
Pinch or pay for em, that is up to you, but these shoes are in my future!

To new beginnings
Hello to sunny days
We’re upward mobile now
Goodbye to small town ways
Till it’s impossible to find
a trace of what we left behind
And a defining element is in these
Shoes!

NICOLA AND CHORUS
The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world,

NICOLA
Charlie, that I know!

NICOLA AND CHORUS
I know!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie
It’s beautiful!
It’s beautiful!

MR. PRICE
Your life, your future, is right here at this factory! You belong here!

CHARLIE
No Dad, I belong with Nicola in London.

MR. PRICE
No, you belong here.

CHARLIE
Will you toast my journey?

MR. PRICE
But to leave your home and family for a job shopping in London!


CHARLIE
Marketing, Dad.
Richard Bailey has offered Nicola and me positions marketing real estate.

MR. PRICE
You’re breaking my heart, Charlie.

CHARLIE
To you, Dad.

MR. PRICE
Shoes can protect a man’s journey, but only his heart can choose the path.
And so a toast to our own Charlie.
May you never fail to point your shoes back home.
