The next day I go off to school
Noah, darling, study hard
You should see his last report card, Papa
Everything Cs and Ds
Look at this!
The hypocrites!
Eulogizing, rhapsodizing
Kennedy!
Kennedy!
They hated him!
They murdered him!
Did him in
And now...
Good morning, Caroline
All day long I sit at school
Drifting, dreaming
In the classroom
Inattentive
'Cause I'm bored!
Study, Noah!
Study hard
Drawing doodles
Maccabees
Bumblebees
Christmas trees
And all the toys I plan to buy with-
Buy with...
Buy with...

Suddenly he sits up straight
Suddenly he can concentrate
Suddenly open go the eyes
Suddenly I realize
A dreadful blow he has been dealt
Left my... left my...
Chanukah gelt
All that money
Twenty dollars!
Twenty dollars!
In your pocket
In the pocket of your pants
In the pocket of my pants
There's still a chance
Maybe she hasn't done the laundry
There's all that cleaning after a party
Oh, please
Clock, please
Clock
Strike three now!
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Anyhow, she can't
It's mine!
She can't have my money
I'll sue
Oh, come on, clock
It's only two
I'm plotzing with anxiety
Alright already
Now
Its
Three
Finally!
The second I hear the three o'clock bell
I'm a bat out of hell
I run down the street
Like a blur
And right away (consequences)
The washing machine (unforeseen)
I'm on!
In the basement
It's on
It's her
The spin cycle's already started
The spin- she's down there!
Wait! Wait!
Caroline!
What?
Did you find-?
Yeah, I did
And now? It's mine
