Original Off-Broadway Cast
Finale (”Dear Abby!”)
[Chorus]
Oh, please don't
Go, Abby
Don't you
Know, Abby
We'll fall apart if you go
Away!
[Female Singer]
Go away, go away, go away!
[Chorus]
We don't have a shred of pride ourselves
When you're gone, we're just beside ourselves
We could never fill the bill ourselves
If you go, we'll have to kill ourselves
[Spoken Stage Direction]
Dance break!
(Dance break)
[Spoken Stage Direction]
He leaps!
She leaps!
Leap together!
Leap together!
Abby returns, after her fortieth and final costume change of the show!
[Chorus]
We're queer for
Dear Abby
Is that
Clear, Abby
Don't ever
Go
Away
[Spoken Stage Direction]
The audience, led by gay men, rises to their feet!
[Chorus]
Abby
Abby
Abby
Aaaaaaaa!
