A Chorus Line The Musical - Montage Part 4: Gimme 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 & 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
VAL:
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:

RANDOM VOICES: (until all join in)

Where did it go it was so

Suddenly I’m seventeen and

Suddenly I’m seventeen and
Suddenly
There’s a lot I am not
Certain of
Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen

RICHIE:

Yeah!
Gimme the ball, gimme the ball, gimme the ball
Yeah!
I was always running around shouting
Gimme the ball, gimme the ball, gimme the ball
Yeah!
I was so enthusiastic I was into everything
The yearbook was filled with my picture
And I was lucky cause I got
A scholarship to college!
A scholarship to college!
So I went (so he went)

So I’m gonna be this kindergarten teacher-

And I was scared (shit, Richie) scared (shit, Richie)
Scared (shit, Richie) Scared!! (shit, Richie!)

Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen
Goodbye fourteen, goodbye fifteen
Goodbye sixteen, goodbye seventeen

And now life really begins (go to it)
And now life really begins (go to it)
And now life really begins (go to it)
And now life really begins (go to it)
