ALL 6:
Here we are, six characters, depressed and melancholy.
Here we are, six characters, in search of a finale.
We've racked our brains and taxed our minds
to find a trick that's new,
but still we haven't got the slightest idea what to do.
BARBARA JO:
[spoken] We might try a Russian ballet,
but a ballet might disclose that I am more
athletic than aesthetic on my toes.
HAMMY:
[spoken] Say, how about a circus? We could all go acrobatic.
Now, here's a trick I learned in school, to strenghten my...sciatic.
ANNE:
We could all go South American,
and cut a South American rug.
Ah, but I'd never arrive,
I ain't hep to their jive![
I'm just a Brooklyn jitterbug.
RAY:
[spoken] Hold everything- I've got it, pals!
Let's do an aquacade.
It's true that I can't swim a stroke, ah, but you oughta see me wade!
PENNY: What's wrong with doing something old? Something tried and true
TOMMY: Well, how about a minstrel show (PENNY joins) does that appeal to you?
PENNY: A good old-fashioned minstrel show
