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
