The Monster Montage Songtext
Judy:
(Out of pantomime)
AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D EVER
SEEN A DEAD BODY.
BUT THEN WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN
THE MOST TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED.
THE TED MACK AMATEUR HOUR HELD AUDITIONS IN ST. LOUIS
AND I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT 'TIL AFTER THEY'D GONE
AND I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF....
(Line turns and walks Downstage)
Judy:
NEARLY KILLED MYSELF.
I TRIED TO WALK IN FRONT OF A SPEEDING STREETCAR
AND I REMEMBER NOTICING BOYS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
(Line people are now on line and lights come up)
Judy:
Anyway, I remember practising kissing with Leslie. She was my best girl friend. Did any of you ever practice kissing with another girl....
SO THAT WHEN THE TIME CAME YOU'D KNOW HOW TO?
(Judy listens, everyone is silent)
Judy:
No?....Oh my God.
(After a moment)
Kristine:
Judy?
Judy:
Did you, girl?
Kristine:
Yeah....But just a couple of times.
Sheila:
Oh, count me in.
Judy:
Thank God!
(Backing into line.)
Anyway, I do remember....
Greg:
(Stepping forward)
The worst thing in school was every time the teacher called on me....
I'D BE HARD, I'D BE HARD.
Really, I'd have to lean up against the desk like this. (He demonstrates) And the teacher would say:
'STAND UP STRAIGHT.'
'I can't, I have a pain in my side.'
'STAND UP STRAIGHT.'
Or walking down the hall, you'd have to walk like this,
WITH ALL YOUR BOOKS STAKED UP IN FRONT OF YOU.
Mike:
Yeah, I thought it was only me. I thought I was a sex maniac.
Connie and Maggie:
YOU ARE!
Bobby:
I did too. I mean, it didn't go down for three years.
Greg:
And the bus, the bus was the worst. I'd just look at a bus and....
BINGO
And then there was the time I was making out in the back seat with Sally Ketchum....We were necking and I was feeling her boobs, and feeling her boobs and after about an hour or so she said....
'OOOHHH! DON'T YOU WANT TO FEEL ANYTHING ELSE?'
And I suddenly thought to myself: 'No, I don't.'
Zach:
Did that come as a surprise to you?
Greg:
I guess, yeah. It was probably the first time I realised I was a homosexual and I got so depressed because I thought being gay meant being a bum all the rest of my life and I said:
'GEE, I'LL NEVER GET TO WEAR NICE CLOTHES....'
And I was really into clothes, I had this pair of powder blue and pink gabardine pants....
(Greg goes into pantomime, the group breaks upstage from the line)
Chorus (Melody):
GOODBYE TWELVE
GOODBYE THIRTEEN
HELLO LA-A-A-OVE.
Al:
EARLY TO BED
EARLY TO RISE
YOUR BROAD GOES OUT WITH OTHER GUYS.
Cassie:
A DIAPHRAGM, A DIAPHRAGM.
I THOUGHT A DIAPHRAGM WAS UP HERE,
WHERE YOU BREATHE.
Don:
I BOUGHT A CAR.
I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR.

Mark:

Connie:

Kristine:
THE UGLIEST BOY ASKED ME TO THE PROM, I STAYED HOME.
Maggie:
LIFE IS AN ASHTRAY
Val:
SHIT, MADE IT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT GROWING TITS.
Chorus (Melody):
… DOUBT,

IT'S A MESS
TIME TO GROW,

Richie:
MY TROUBLE IS WINE, WOMEN AND SONG.

Judy, Kristine, and Vicki:

Diana and Bebe (and Lois offstage):

(Dance breaks. The cast ends up in a clump center stage. Suddenly they break into an angry and animated montage of individual stories, then separating into two groups, right and left. Richie is left center stage.)
