Cry Baby

Inmates(singing) Stuck in a cage. Stuck in a cage.

Cry-Baby(singing) Locked in the prison of teenage rage.

Inmates(singing) Stuck in a cage with a teenage rage.

Cry-Baby(singing) Well, I was out for a little fun. I guess I’m guilty till I’m twenty-one. I must be doing time for being young.

Inmates(singing) Stuck in a cage with a teenage rage.

Cry-Baby(singing) I don’t want to be doing time for being young.

Wanda Who the hell is this?

Mrs Woodward This is Inga. She’s from Sweden. She’s an exchange student. And she’s going to be staying with us for a while.

Mr Woodward Inga, this is our daughter, Wanda. Say hello.

Inga Ja.

Wanda I’m blowing this joint.

Mr Woodward Look, Inga doesn’t understand English very well. Inga, say hello to Wanda.

Inga Ja?

Mrs Woodward Say hello to our daughter.

Inga Ja.

Mr Woodward Er, honey, why don’t you come over and sit down? Get to know one another. Look at all the wonderful presents she’s brought us from her native land.

Mrs Woodward Let’s all put on a folk hat and learn something about a foreign culture.

Mr Woodward Do we have a surprise for you? Don’t we, Meg?

Mrs Woodward We sure do. All this silly trouble you’ve been having lately… Wanda, honey, you’re going to Sweden, this afternoon at three o’clock.

Wanda You mean you swapped me? For a milkmaid?

Mr Woodward Oh, honey… Inga’s mater and pater will treat you just like one of the family. Ja, Inga?

Inga Ja. Ja, ja.

Wanda You want to learn about America, Inga? In America, we like boys. We like hot boys. Boys with roaming hands and rushing fingers.

Mrs Woodward Wanda, honey, want some Ovaltine?

Inga Ja. Ja, ja.

Wanda Yeah, I’m just a bebop baby. And I don’t take nothing from no one. See you later daddy-o’s. Have a cool Yule and a frantic First.

Toe-Joe Hey, you going my way?

Wanda Oh, it’s you. You ever hear of something called a theme park?

Toe-Joe Yeah, there’s a big opening over there today.

Wanda Well, that’s where I’m going, stallion.

Toe-Joe Well, hop on in.

Dupree Hold on, homeboy. Almost done. I know it hurts, but being this cool’s always a pain.

Cry-Baby Ah, the pain ain’t nothing, Dupree. I’ve been hurt all my life, but real tears wash away. Ow! This one’s for Allison and I want it to last forever.

Dupree Oh. There you go. It’s a beauty. You never have to cry again.

Warder I heard talking in here. What’s that on your face, blubber-boy?

Cry-Baby Are you blind? It’s a lonely teardrop.

Warder Now ain’t that cute? It ought to go real good with your new haircut.

Cry-Baby I ain’t getting no haircut.

Warder You want to bet? You’re next, sniffle-snot.

Dupree Cry-Baby, look! It’s your only chance, man.

Cry-Baby Nobody’s gonna turn me Square, Dupree. I want my girl… I want my family, and I want my gang. Thanks for the tattoo.

Milton Come on, gorgeous.

Hatchet-Face Look. Is that the prison? Move over, Milton. Let me try. Geronimo!

Inmate 1 Look at that!

Inmate 2 What do we have here?

Inmate 3 Who is that?

Hatchet-Face This is a jailbreak!

Cry-Baby Milton! Hatchet!

Hatchet-Face Cry-Baby, where are you? Cry-Baby!

Inmate 4 He’s in the library!

Inmate 5 No, no, he’s in the cafeteria!

Inmate 6 No, man, he’s in the hole!

Inmate 7 No, this way, he’s in the movies!

Inmate 8 That way!

Hatchet-Face Cry-Baby!

Woman in Film Hurry, David.

Man in Film I’ve almost got it.

Inmate 9 Hurry up.

Inmate 10 Come on.

Cry-Baby Whoa! What’s down here? What, this way? Oh… thanks pal.

Mrs Tadlock Just come right this way. Now, er, this is, er, Sheila. She’s Caucasian, but that’s about all I can recommend. Bad table manners.

Ramona Ah, we were thinking of two children, actually.

Pepper About six of seven years old.

Belvedere With some spunk.

Mrs Tadlock Well, what about him? Little Joey, mother’s little helper. He not only vacuums, he does windows. Irons.

Ramona Yes.

Pepper Here, these are the ones we want.

Belvedere A double-header.

Ramona Oh, they’re adorable. We’ll take them.

Mrs Tadlock Ah, now, that’s a thing with two heads, absolutely not. Siamese twins are a financial burden. Sewing all those old school clothes together. You’re nor psychologically equipped.

Pepper Mrs Tadlock, these are my children, and I’m taking ’em with me.

Ramona That’s right, sister.

Mrs Tadlock You! Let me out of here! Help!

Pepper Good going. Good going.

Ramona That was great.

Pepper I’m so proud of you.

Ramona Come on, we got to get to the Enchanted Forest. Turn left.

Belvedere No, turn right.

Allison, Baldwin & Whiffles(singing) Mister Sandman…

Baldwin(singing) Yes…

Allison(singing) Bring me a dream…

Allison, Baldwin & Whiffles(singing) I am the cutest that she’s ever seen. Give her the word that I’m not a rover. Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over…

Mrs Vernon Williams What?

Ramona Ssh.

Allison(singing) Mister Sandman, I’m so alone. Don’t have nobody to call my own. Please turn on your magic beam…

Baldwin & Whiffles(singing) Mister Sandman, bring her a dream…

Allison, Baldwin & Whiffles(singing) Mister Sandman, bring us a dream. Give him a pair of eyes with that come-hither gleam. Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci. And lots of wavy hair like Liberace. Mister Sandman, someone to hold. Would be so peachy before we’re too old. So please turn on your magic beam. Mister Sandman, bring us. Please, please, please. Mister Sandman, bring us a dream.

Allison Aargh!

Ramona Yeah!

Baldwin & Whiffles Drapes!
