Two Nobodies in New York

What if this dialog were set to music?

What if what we're saying could be said in a song?

Hey, that's not a bad idea perhaps we could use it

Music in a musical, how can we go wrong?

We could

Ask significant questions

We could

Get important points across

Like?

Are we writing for art

And is art a springboard for fame

And will fame get folks to trust us

But will they trust us

If it's just us

Me and you

Two nobodies in New York

Hey, I think it's working we're discovering choices

Lots of things to think about when writing a show

Yeah, creating a vehicle to showcase our voices

And I don't mean our vocal cords, I mean what's below

Uh-huh

We could

Ask significant questions

We could

Get important points across

Like?

Are we writing for art

And is art a springboard for fame

And will fame get us a paycheck

But will a paycheck mean that we're sellouts

And if we sell out

Will they yell out

Me and you

Two nobodies in New York

Key change!

Maybe someday our show will get a theater

And if not this festival then somewhere out west

TV actors in our show, what could be better?

Sweeter/ We could-

What?

Sweeter, we've been over this. You know the lyric is sweeter

But here's the deal. One of them sounds like it's two syllables

And the other sounds like it's three syllables, so it's

Like: sweeter, the-ater. Does that rhyme?

Yes. Sorry, Larry, from the key change. A-five, six, seven, eight!

Maybe someday our show will get a theater

And if not this festival then somewhere out west

TV actors in our show, what could be swee-ater?

Thanks. Great

(sung)

We could get that woman who was on Empty Nest

Dinah Manoff, she's awesome!

Yeah

She was in Grease

Yeah!

And Leader of the Pack!

We could

Ask significant questions

We could

Get important points across

Like are we writing for art

And is art a springboard for fame

And will fame get us a sitcom

And will a sitcom get us on Ellen

And will Ellen get folks to like us

And if they like us

Will they mike us
