(#3) MUSTER UP A LITTLE COURAGE – (Clarence)

CLARENCE: Muster up a little courage George, spruce up and find your pride.

Keep holding to your vision and be glad that you’re alive.

Listen to your heart son. Don’t get tangled up instead

With all the “ifs” and “buts” and “therefores” that go messing up your head.

Best to concentrate on “maybes”,

On “don’t your wish” and “wouldn’t it be nice?”

Instead of “it just can’t be” and “you’re gonna’ pay the price!”

There’s always someone out there judging,

Tearing up, putting down

You can’t let their deep begrudging

Turn your life clean upside down.

Just muster up some courage, George. Hold tight to what you find

Of all the precious dreams you’ve almost left behind.

‘Cause when you come out on the far end,

Beaten down, a little worn,

You’re gonna find it’s all been worth it,

All the effort, all the scorn.

If you muster up a little courage, George.

Find a little patience, George.

Have the faith that you’ll survive

And be grateful that you’re still alive.

(#4) GEORGE’S SEND – OFF – (Townspeople)

May your work and your play

Be a perfect blend.

Match the love that we send_________

Off with you, dear buddy

The Cha-cha and Conga line, too.

I love to dance!

I love to dance!

I love to dance!

[DANCE BREAK]

There’s the Be-bop and Lindy, the Hornpipe, the Chimney

The jitterbug cool and new,

There’s country and folk and waltz’s and polkas

Only to name a few.

There’s the Charleston of course, and a Mazurka by force,

I’ll do any old dance with you.

Just keep your feet stompin’ and your heart beat a hoppin’

We’ll easily see the night through:

I could spend the night dancin’ with you!

Mysteries great and small,

Remove the blight that plagues us

So it won’t be there at all.

[POP]: “You’re talking pretty fancy there George.”

[GEORGE]: “Why not?”

GEORGE: I want to free the world of ramine,

Remove all strife and grief,

Create a world that’s safe and peaceful

To strengthen our belief.

I want to work on a new tomorrow,

Not get lost in the daily grind.__________

To do what’s important for all mankind.

[POP]: “Well you know George, your Uncle Billy and I ….”

[UNCLE BILLY]: “It’s deep in a man’s soul George…..”

[POP]: “We like to believe our ‘shabby little office’…”

[GEORGE]: “I’m sure you are Pop”

But the goals that I’m seeking extend beyond this town.

They stretch and reach and push us.

They pull us. They turn us upside down.

Upside down!

So let me climb the highest mountains,

Let me explore the deepest seas,

I want to solve the unsolved problems

That bring us to our knees.

I want to work on a new tomorrow;

Not get in the daily grind._______

To do something important for all mankind._________

We’ll skate ‘round Saturn’s outer ring.

We’ll tunnel through Big Dipper’s seven stars

And swing till we hear the robins sing,

We’ll swing till we hear the robins sing.

BOTH: What a glorious night the breeze is light

And it’s whispering a gentle little tune.

Look, the sky has just cleared, all the clouds have disappeared

And the stars are winkin’ at the moon.

Come slide with me down the sliver of the moon

We’ll dance on the giant Milky Way,

All I need now in life it seems

Is quiet wishes and simple dreams.

Silent nights and peaceful days,

Saying “I love you” a thousand ways.

No loft pledges, no fancy schemes,

Just quiet wishes and simple dreams.

A stately mansion, a star, the moon

A cruise on a distant sea.

Are fancy bubbles that burst too soon,

They’ll never appeal to me.

No diamond, pearl or ring

Could ever make me sing, not like…

Your loving touch, your loving smile,

Your joy and strength, and all the while

That love you give makes my whole life gleam.

Quiet wishes and simple dreams.

And when next summer or early fall

We’ll add a nurs’ry right down the hall,

A new life and all that means,

I’ll have my wishes and simple dreams.______

What happened , pray tell to your vast wonderland?

Didn’t it crumble to dust? Did it melt in your hand?_____

Disillusioned, so lost, so discouraged; alone.____

Not a stock, not a bond, just a rundown home._______

COMPANY: Each morn we arise

It’s a day of surprise,

It’s a wonderful, wonderful life.________

And the day’s made complete

By the friends that we meet,

It’s a wonderful, wonderful life._________

It’s all in the way you approach it,

Your attitude, outlook and drive.

You can pout, complain, or reproach it,

Or be grateful that you’re still alive._______

It’s up to you,

You’re the key

Try it just once and your’ll see.

Each task we pursue

We can start out anew,

It’s a wonderful, wonderful life.

If we bury at last

As the things that are past,


Look around and count all your blessings,

Add them up the great and the small.

Soon you’ll find that you’ll be confessing

That life isn’t half bad at all.

It’s like a game,

It takes great skill;

It’s a risk but it’s also a thrill.

A kind word and a touch

From a friend means so much,


A warm smile on a face,

And a small child’s embrace,


So join in and try the adventure.

In the game called “The Great Human Race”.

Once you start you’ll learn that your venture

Is a bountiful, mystical, sometimes just fanciful,

Often quite sorrowful, still mighty powerful

Wonderful_____

Wonderful, wonderful life!_______________________
