A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF YOU
SONGS
TO LISTEN TO
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE
FATHER:
Get
out! Get out, get out of my house.
And
don't come back no more!
Get
out, get out, get out of my house.
Get
out, and shut the door!
This
son who was mine, he died today.
His
different lifestyle took him away.
From
this day forward I have no son!
I
lost my boy, I lost my only one!
Trio
(Father, Miss Righteous, Beth)
Get
out, get out, get out of my house.
Get
out of this house
And
don't come back no more!
Get
out, get out, get out of my house.
Get
out of this house.
Get
out, and shut the door!
How
could you let your father down?
You
know he will be the talk of the town.
From
this day forward I have no son!
I
lost my boy, I lost my only one!
You
lost your only one ,
Thrown
away from God!
Listen
to me, you poor queer don't you hear?
MISS RIGHTEOUS:
H
- O - M - O - Sex - U - Al _ I - Ty!
H
- O - M - O - Sex - U - Al _ I - Ty!
Corrupt.
Sinner is what you are.
Pervert,
now you have gone too far.
When
will you ever learn?
You'll
be thrown from heaven.
Thrown
away from God!
BETH:
(Sing
song slowly to hear the words clearly)
I'm
your girl friend. Who's this boy friend?
Listen
to me. Are you deaf friend.
I
am the chosen one.
Play
with girls, you'll have fun.
Listen
to what I say.
All
you need's . . ONE . GOOD . LAY!
God
condemns who you are.
You
are a fallen star.
How
can you say - you love him?
MOTHER:
Twinkle,
twinkle, little star.
Gift
of love is who you are.
You're
someone who's born of my blood.
Child
of my womb, you're an offspring of love.
(Loudly
to father)
Listen
To what you say.
Love
him!
Don
't you throw him away.
Oh
my husband. Oh listen to me!!
BIFF:
Hear
me Lord! On this Thanksgiving day.
What
kind of man am I? Show me the way.
I've
let my parents down. I've gone astray.
Oh,
please help me be the son they can be proud of.
Help
me be the son that they can love!
(This piece now becomes a dynamite Verdi style 5 part quintet with all characters singing their arias very loudly (ff), each screaming at Biff, trying to make their point. Trying to be heard. Confused, Biff looks to his Father who angrily pushes Biff away as he tries to reconcile. The "Perils of Pauline" style of accompaniment offers some comedy relief to the tension and tragedy occurring on stage.)
QUINTET: (Miss Righteous, Beth, Mother, Father, Biff. Words and music repeat the above lyrics. When finished, Father sings the final verse, screaming Get Out (fff) which shatters and silences the chaos of the quintet)
FATHER:
GET
OUT! Get out, get out, of my house.
And
don't come back no more!
Get
out, get out, get out of my house.
Get
out, and shut the door!
This
son who was mine, he died today.
His
different lifestyle took him away.
From
this day forward I have no son!
I
lost my boy, I lost my only one!
GET
OUT!!
(screams
end of song "Get out" in synch. as he grabs Biff's childhood plaster hand
cast
from
the table and throws it at his son , shattering it on the floor.)
THIS ABOVE ALL ELSE
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE.
THOU CAN'ST NOT THEN BE FALSE
TO
NO MAN.
