Music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.
SETH: Alright, listen, This mailbox is filled with checks Which we're gonna retrieve and wipe clean
MARTIN: Isn't that check fraud?
DEBRA: I mean, what even is "check fraud?"
SETH: It's the fraudulent use of checks
DEBRA: Merriam-Webster over here Okay, let's review "How to Wash a Check"
Tie the fish-line Open the mailbox Drop the glue trap Get a bite Pull the line up Take the check out Make a copy Do it right
Or nobody gets what they want Nobody gets what they want, sing it Nobody gets what they want, in harmony Nobody gets what they want
Okay, next steps
Soak the checky In the solvent Where'd the ink go? (Ooh) Outta sight Dry the check off Forge the Hancock "To Seth Weetis" (Wait, what?) Do it right (Did you say Seth Wee)
Or everybody ends up in jail (Oh God) Everybody ends up in jail (Tell me) Everybody ends up in jail (Remind me) Everybody ends up in jail
Good, now you do it
Tie the fish line (Right) Open the mailbox (Good) Now the glue trap (You didn't peel it) Where's the fish line? (What are you doing?) The line is tangled (Jesus) These fumes are strong (What is happening?) Who has the glue trap? (I can't peel it) If you guys cock this up
Nobody gets what they want Nobody gets what they want Nobody gets what they want
Can't I just reach in the mailbox? My arms are pretty skinny No, just do it like I said Got the fish line, got the glue trap Hand it over It's so sticky
I think my arm's stuck (What?) Inside the mailbox? (Oh shit, his arm's stuck) Stuck in the mailbox (I said not to do that) Stuck in the mailbox (I'm sorry) Pull it out (I can't) Try to relax (It's eating my arm)
The glue trap is stuck to my head (How did you) The glue trap is stuck to my head The glue trap is stuck to her head (Of course it is) The mailbox is eating my arm (Kill me) The mailbox is eating The glue trap is stuck to Everybody's going to jail Everybody's going to jail, sing it Everybody's going to jail
Ugh, you know what? You're terrible at this Maybe I should've recruited The Show Choir from West Orange No, we are better than West Orange We can do this, you guys! Tenor! Alto! Bass! Watch!
Tie the fish line Open the mailbox Drop the glue trap Get a bite (Okay) Pull the line up Take the check out Make a copy Do it right (You're getting my hopes up) Soak the checky, soak the checky Soak the checky (Aloha) In the solvent, in the solvent In the solvent (Mahalo) Where'd the ink go? Where'd the ink go? Where'd the ink go? (I'm gonna learn to hula on Waikiki Beach) Outta sight, outta sight, outta sight Dry the check off, Dry the check off, Dry the check off Forge the Hancock, Forge the Hancock, Forge the Hancock "To Seth Weetis," "To Seth Weetis," "To Seth Weetis" We did it right (I knew you would) Yay!
