ENSEMBLE Sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk
GORDON Waiting for the wind to blow,
ENSEMBLE Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow. Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, In the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
GORDON This is your idea of a vacation? What a good idea for recreation! At least it's sunny on Newport.
ENSEMBLE At least it's
GORDON Sunny on Cape Cod.
ENSEMBLE At least it's
GORDON Sunny on Nantucket. Oh yeah! f**k it. I hate the sun.
ENSEMBLE But we are Sitting becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk Hotter than a pregnant cow, Waiting for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow. Sitting becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, In the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
GORDON Life is short; sailing is long. Anyone got a newspaper?
ENSEMBLE Sitting in the Lee of Cuttyhunk.
GORDON Anyone got a crossword puzzle?
ENSEMBLE Sitting in the Lee of Cuttyhunk.
GORDON Anyone got an anything!?
ENSEMBLE Sitting in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the---
ROGER Would it kill you to try to enjoy this a little bit? This is my favorite thing in the world. Why are you such an ass?
GORDON Captain, can we use gas?
ENSEMBLE No, no, no!
GORDON When you're right, you're right.
ENSEMBLE Couldn't you try to enjoy this a little bit? This is our favorite thing in the world.
GORDON (overlapping) You're right; I'm such a jerk-off! Right.
ROGER Wait, I hear it.
RHODA Wait, it's coming.
ENSEMBLE Wait, I feel the wind. I think we're moving. I think we're moving. Not becalmed.
GORDON Could that be a metaphor?
ENSEMBLE Cuttyhunk is in our past!
GORDON Getting somewhere at last is a sign of things improving.
ENSEMBLE Not becalmed in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee, In the Lee, in the Lee, in the Lee of Cuttyhunk!
NANCY D (spoken) We got the picture!
RICHARD (spoken) That wasn't so bad, now was it?
ENSEMBLE In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! In the Lee of Cuttyhunk, Cuttyhunk. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
