A Chorus Line The Musical - Montage 3: Gimmie the Ball Lyrics
(Greg)
The worst thing in school was that everytime the teacher called on me
I’d be hard! I’d be hard!
Really!
I mean, I had to lean against the desk, like this.
And the teacher would say
Stand up straight!
I can’t I have a pain in my... side!
Stand up straight!
Or walking down the halls, you’d have to walk, like this,
With all your books stacked up in front of you.
(Mike)
Yeah, I did too. I thought I was a sex maniac!
(Connie and Maggie)
You are!!
(Bobby)
Me too. It didn’t go down for three years.
(Greg)
Oh, and the bus. The bus was the worst.
I’d take even one look at a bus and
Bingo!
And then there was the time
I was making out with Sally Ketchum in the back seat of the car.
We were kissing and necking and
I was feeling her boobs. And after about an hour or so,
she said,
Ohhh, don’t you wanna feel anything else?
And I suddenly thought to myself, ‘No, I don’t.’
Well, I guess yeah, because it was the first time
I realized I was homosexual.
And I got so depressed,
Because I thought being gay meant being a bum all the rest of my life.
(All)
Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen,
Hello love

Shit! Made it through high school without growing tits!
(Random voices)
Doubt, to break out
It’s a mess
Time to grow, time to go
(Paul)
What am I gonna say when he calls on me?!!
(Random voices until all join in)

Where did it go it was so
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen

Gimme the ball, gimme the ball, gimme the ball

The yearbook was filled with my picture
And I was lucky cause I got
A scholarship to college!
