Everybody's Got The Right [Greg Germann]



PROPRIETOR

Hey, pal- feelin' blue?
Don't know what to do?
Hey, pal-
I mean you-
yeah.C'mere and kill a president.

No job? Cupboard bare?
one room, no one there?
Hey, pal, don't despair-
You wanna shoot a president?
c'mon and shoot a president...

Some guys
Think they can be winners.
First prize often goes to rank beginners.

CZOLGOSZ

How much?

PROPRIETOR

Four-fifty. Ivor johnson. .32. Rubber handle.
Owls stamped on the sides.

CZOLGOSZ

All right, give me.

PROPRIETOR

Hey, kid, failed your test?
Dream girl unimpressed?
Show her you're the best
If you can shoot a president-

You can get the prize
With the big blue eyes,
Skinny little thighs
And those big blue eyes...

Everybody's
Got the right
To be happy.
Don't stay mad,
Life's not as bad
As it seems.

If you keep your
Goal in sight,
You can climb to
Any height.
Everybody's
Got the right
To their dreams...

PROPRIETOR

Only eight bucks. Cheap for "anything you want."

Everybody's
Got the right
To be different
Even though
At times they go
To extremes.
Aim for what you
want a lot-
Everybody
Gets a shot.
Everybody's
Got a right
To their dreams-

Yo, baby!
Looking for a thrill?
The Ferris Wheel is that way.
No, baby,
This requires skill-
Okay, you want to give it a try...
Jeez, lady-!
Give the guy some room!
The bumper cars are that way..
Please, lady-
Don't forget that guns can go boom...

PROPRIETOR

Hey, gang,
Look who's here.
There's our
Pioneer.
Hey, chief.
Lound and clear:

BOOTH

Everybody's
Got the right
To be happy.
Say, "Enough!"
It's not as tough
As it seems.

Don't be scared
You won't prevail,
Everybody's
Free to fail,
No one can be put in jail
For their dreams.

Free country-!

PROPRIETOR

BOOTH

Be a scholar-

PROPRIETOR

BOOTH, PROPRIETOR

ASSASSINS

Everybody's
Got the right
To some sun shine-

BOOTH

Everybody...

ASSASSINS

Not the sun
But maybe one
Of its beams.
One of its beams.

ALL

Rich man, poor man
Black or white,
pick your apple,
Take a bite,
Everybody
Just hold tight
To your dreams.
Everybody's
Got the right
To their dreams...
