Missing Person Lyrics by Brian David Gilbert

Stranger Sings

0

[Joy, Skip]
My son is missing and I know who took him
You mean Hopscotch Byers? I was just about to book him...
I don't care about the deal
Well, you should. Let's get lookin' for a new lead singer!
That is NOT what it's ABOUT
He's my son, and he's gone!
And who could sell a song without a good lead singer?
"The Smarmy Four"... sounds better than "The Smarmy Three"

I'm sure that you mean well
But that won't bring me peace
I'm not looking for a talent agent
I need police
Last night, my other son said that he heard some brass, and
I think that maybe Hopscotch was snatched by the Jazz Man

Jazz?
That's crazy
Jazz is a lie

No, it's real

How do you know that?

Well, I used to dabble in jazz
I'm not proud, it's profane
But when I was a kid, I got into Coltrane
I KNOW, it was stupid

Ya think?

Look
Hopscotch is like me, and I know he partook in some jazz

I should book you just for SAYING that...

Arrest me or sign me
It's hard to keep it straight with you
But I've got work to do
And if you care about your singer, you should join me too

I do, but JAZZ?

I know it's scary, but I need your belief

I didn't sign up for jazz when I became police chief
I may be police, but I'm a talent agent first

And this combines those jobs!

That sounds like the worst...

You find my son
You find the talent too

Am I up for that?

That is LITERALLY what you do

OKAY
