2009 Studio Cast of “Allegro”
End of College Dance
[A VOICE, spoken]
You are about to get your first look at yourself
Joseph Taylor, Jr. is one of these boys
Shall we try to pick him out?
[JOE, spoken]
I'm sorry if I step on your feet every once in a while
You see, I never had any dancing lessons until six months ago
[MISS LIPSCOMB, spoken]
You mean to say this is not the first time you've ever danced?
[JOE, spoken]
No, no, no, no, I'm alright
I mean, I'm better if I count to keep up with the music
I have my own way to figure it out
[MISS LIPSCOMB, spoken]
Well, if it helps you, go ahead and count
[JOE, spoken]
It's not exactly counting
Uh, I go like this
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
One foot, other foot
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
That's our boy!
[ENSEMBLE]
You must forgivе him if he looks new
He may grow oldеr, they often do
He weighs one hundred and fifty-two
Joseph Taylor, Junior
[JOE]
It's a darn nice campus
With ivy on the walls
Friendly maples
Outside the lecture halls
A new gymnasium
A chapel with a dome
It's a darn nice campus
And I wish I were home
[JOE, spoken]
I had no idea it was such a big college
Sure is big
Hiya, Charlie!
Charlie?
Okay, Charlie
[JOE]
It's a darn nice campus
I'm going to like it fine
Darn cute coeds
They have a snappy line
Darn nice fellas
As far as I can tell
It's a darn nice campus
And I'm lonely as hell
