GORDON Yes is a good word No is a bad word The preferred word In any kind of situation Is yes I can Oh, yes I’d like to do that Yes the world’s increasingly absurd
Yes, yes Yes is a good word Yes, yes Yes is a very special word
MR. BUNGEE Yes I will do that Yes I will go there Yes I will live a good and a true life Yes I’ll survive Whatever you throw at me Yes the world is grand When there’s a moment Grab it and shake it Take it in your hand Yes I will Yes I can Yes I might! Yes I will put up an honest fight
OTHERS Yes I’ll be fearless
MR. BUNGEE Yes I’ll be fearless
OTHERS Yes, I’ll be honest
MR. BUNGEE Yes, I’ll be honest
OTHERS Yes, I will live my life with emotion
MR. BUNGEE Live with emotion
OTHERS Yes, I’ll have courage, chance, and devotion
ALL (Gordon is out of the picture now) Yes, I will survive
MR. BUNGEE Yes is the word that opens the door To being most alive
ALL Yes!
MR. BUNGEE There’s joy
ALL Yes!
MR. BUNGEE There’s love
ALL Yes!
MR. BUNGEE Yes, there’s zing!
OTHERS Yes…
MR. BUNGEE Yes, I absolutely have to sing
ALL Yes, yes, yes
MR. BUNGEE Is a good word
OTHERS Yes, yes, yes
ALL Yes, yes Yes is a very special word
MR. BUNGEE Except when a stranger says, “Get into my car.” Say no
OTHERS No!
MR. BUNGEE Or when someone says, “Would you like to lose your virginity?” Someone with who you have No affinity Say no, no No, no
OTHERS No, no No, no! Yes is a good word No is a bad word…
ONE GUY The preferred wor…
MR. BUNGEE (spoken as everyone else is singing) No, no. No, no, no! No, no, no! What is this nonsense about virginity? It’s a goddamn children’s show! I never know what the hell you’re writing about (all else is silent) Schwinn. I want a song! A song, yes. Yes, I will do my homework. Yes I will work in the garden. Yes I will go with my grandparents to Israel. Instead I get this nonsense about somebody who loses their virginity to those with whom they have no affinity. Affinity! It’s a goddamn children’s show! Alright, look. I know you’re in the hospital. You’ve got this brain thing. And you know what? I’m gonna get my son to write the song. Where’s my son?! Where’s my son?! Where’s my son?!
