2009 Studio Cast of “Allegro”
End of College Dance
(The dream sequence ends, and we fade back to reality.)
[A VOICE]
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?
(And now, JOE, at last!)
[JOE]
(embarrased)
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]
You mean to say this is not the first time you've ever danced?
[JOE]
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]
Well, if it helps you, go ahеad and count
[JOE]
It's not exactly counting... uh, I go like this...
One foot... othеr foot... one foot... other foot... one foot, other foot, one foot, other foot...
[ENSEMBLE]
That's our boy!
You must forgive him if he looks new
He may grow older - they often do
He weights one-hundred-and-fifty-two

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
I had no idea it was such a big college... sure is big...
Hiya, Charlie!
Charlie?
Okay, Charlie...
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
