[CHARLIE] Our world is for the forceful And not for sentimental folk But brilliant and resourceful And paranoiac gentle folk [JOE & EMILY] Not soft and sentimental folk [CHARLIE] "Allegro," a musician Would so describe the speed of it The clash and competition Of counterpoint [EMILY] The need of it? [CHARLIE] We cannot prove the need of it We know no other way Of living out a day Our music must be galloping and gay [JOE] We muffle all the undertones The minor blood-and-thunder tones The overtones are all we care to play [CHARLIE, JOE & EMILY] Hysterically frantic We're stubbornly romantic And doggedly determined to be gay [EMILY] Brisk, lively, merry and bright Allegro Same tempo morning and night Allegro Don't stop, whatever you do Do something dizzy and new Keep up the hullabaloo Allegro [ENSEMBLE] Allegro [EMILY] Allegro [ENSEMBLE] Allegro [EMILY] Allegro [EMILY & ENSEMBLE] Allegro [JOE] We spin and we spin and we spin and we spin Playing a game no one can win The men who corner wheat The men who corner gin The men who rule the airwaves The denizens of din [JOE & ENSEMBLE] They spin and they spin They spin and they spin [CHARLIE] The girls who dig for gold And won't give in for tin The lilies of the field So femininely thin They toil not, they toil not But oh, how they spin [ENSEMBLE] Oh, how they spin [WOMEN] Oh, how they spin [JOE] May's in love with Kay's husband He's in love with Sue Sue's in love with May's husband [JOE & MEN] What are they to do? [JOE] Tom's in love with Tim's wife She's in love with Sam Sam's in love with Tom's wife So they're in a jam [CHARLIE] They are smart little sheep Who have lost their way [CHARLIE, JOE, EMILY & ENSEMBLE] Blah! Blah! Blah!
