The Room Was Moving
PHIL & OSCAR
By now the room was moving
MAE
And Queenie set to pounce
ENSEMBLE
The gang at last
Was grooving fast
OSCAR
Progressing ounce by ounce
BURRS
She knew that Burrs could harm her
EDDIE
But she was feelin' strange
ENSEMBLE
So through the wine
She drew the line and said
QUEENIE
Time to make a change
ENSEMBLE
Queenie
Kate
Burrs
Black
The night was moving forward
Not back
Not back
MAX
Then with no inhibition
SAM
Went Kate to conquer all
KATE
She fought to win
ENSEMBLE
She zeroed in
KATE
To see who'd bag the ball
ENSEMBLE
And Black took his position
To swiftly take the floor
BLACK
They'd start the dance
He'd get his chance
In just one minute more
ENSEMBLE
Queenie
Burrs
Black
Kate
And what was the order of business?
Some love
Some hate
They formed the figuration
They poured it down the hatch
And one wrong turn
The whole place would burn
BURRS
But who would strike the match?
QUEENIE
Who would strike the match?
QUEENIE, BURRS, BLACK, KATE
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
ALL
Who's it gonna be?
