Caroline, or Change the Musical - Stuart and Noah Lyrics
ROSE:
Please, Caroline, keep the change.
STUART:
Noah, you're nine years old.
NOAH:
No I'm not I'm eight.
STUART:
Eight? Only eight?
But you're in fourth grade now.
NOAH:
No, I'm in third.
STUART:
Really, you?re sure?
Isn't that weird.
It's like a whole year just?
I don't know, just disappeared.
I have to get back to the clarinet.
Practice the cello.
NOAH:
I gave up the cello, dad.
STUART:
Oh right. You did.
I remember. You're a funny kid.
Your mother loved the cello.
NOAH:
Can I go?
STUART:
It's time that you should demonstrate
More responsibility.
Help Rose with the groceries,
That kind of thing.
In return I'm giving you
A dollar fifty every week allowance.
You can use it as you like but I?
NOAH:
Buy buy buy buy buy!
STUART:
I hope you'll save it till you're older
Buy yourself a chemistry set.
NOAH:
Bubblegum, cigarettes sea monkeys,
Comic books,
Barbie Doll dresses on the sly!
Buy buy buy buy buy!
STUART:
That's what I wanted back when I was a boy,
A great big shiny chemistry set.
CAROLINE:
There's almost a dollar
Some weeks in the bleach cup.
My kids could go down to the dime store and get
The shiny junk they make to catch a kid's eye.
And what they sees and what they wants they could buy.
Stuff I can't buy em now,
Always in the lurch.
Some weeks I could even tithe at Church.
STUART: (with CAROLINE)
A great big shiny chemistry set!
With test tubes, a spirit lamp, powders, and flame.
Do you want a chemistry set?
NOAH:
No.
STUART:
Oh. Well, that's a shame.
It's your money Noah, so please keep in mind?
ROSE:
Caroline keeps what Caroline finds.
NOAH:
That night I leave a dime and a nickel in my pants pocket
To see what will happen;
Caroline finds them.
CAROLINE:
They go in the bleach cup.
NOAH:
They sit there all week,
Fifteen cents, fifteen cents,
Five jawbreakers,
A big bag of red hots,
A Daredevil comic book,
Fifteen cents!
CAROLINE: (with Noah)
They sit there all week.
Fifteen cents, fifteen cents,
A bag of sugary things
Stain the mouth orange
Stain the teeth green
That upset the stomach?
A grown woman got no business
Taking pennies from a baby.
