Method to This Madness
[OWEN, spoken]
Okay. This is every spot there's been a shart tag

[ELWOOD, spoken]
They’re all over the park. Is this just random?

[OWEN, spoken]
But what if it isn't?

[ELWOOD, spoken]
Oh, I guess that'd be neat

[OWEN]
There’s a method to this madness, more behind this
A larger plan, an evil twist we missed
If we mp out every spot marked by our vandal
We could conclude this lewd graffiti scandal

[FRAN}
He attacked a tree at 85th

[RANDY]
He tagged the Delacorte

[ELWOOD]
He switched to red at Rambles Square
[OWEN]
He sharts like it's a sport

[ELWOOD]
He hit so many playgrounds, all the meadows
Oh, put dots here and here—he also sharted those

[OWEN]
Okay, just shout out what you see
The first thing in your head

[ELWOOD]
Chicken pox, gumdrops, a dalmatian in a bed!

[OWEN, spoken]
Wait, are you just naming things with dots?

[ELWOOD, spoken]
You said to say what it looks like

[OWEN, spoken]
Yes, but once you've connected the dots

[ELWOOD, spoken]
Oh, you're not gonna like my list
[OWEN, spoken]
Anybody else?

[RANDY, spoken]
I was also doing things with dots

[OWEN]
Mmmm, mmmm
There's a method to this madness—we can solve it
A chair, a yacht

[RANDY]
A big banana split?

{SHENG]
Maybe it's the skyline?

[FRAN]
These could be towers

[ELWOOD]
Maybe it's just random
We've been at this for two hours

[OWEN, spoken]
Two hours? That puts you all on overtime
Clock out, clock out!
[SHENG, spoken]
Thanks a lot, Elwood

[RANDY, spoken]
Man

[FRAN, spoken]
Yeah, thanks a lot, Elwood

[MOLLY, spoken]
Wait, let me see something

[sung]
There’s a method to this madness

[OWEN, spoken]
Thank you, I’ve been saying that

[MOLLY]
It's not a chair, a yacht, dessert, or hat
He’s spelling out a word
He's on the last part
A secret code he's writing with his art
If you connect the dots like this

[ALL EXCEPT MOLLY]
*gasp*

[MOLLY]
It's a giant shart

[ALL EXCEPT MOLLY]
There’s a method to the madness
There's a method to the madness
All he has to do is cross the T
