# Falling from my eyes #

# Yes, yes, yes, you made me cry #

# When you went away #

# You stayed away so long #

# Come back, my dear #

# My heart is aching #

# Almost breaking #

# If you hear me #

# Come back to me #

# Teardrops are falling #

Oh.

(male announcer) Call

these Drapettes bold,

call them brazen, but

don't call them Square.

Yes, mothers, you should be worried.

Following last night's

disturbance at Turkey Point

Cry-Baby Walker had the nerve

to announce his engagement

to fellow gang member and

known hussy, Lenora Frigid,

mother-to-be

of his child.

Cry-Baby is an orphan.

He wants his baby to have a real family

for the family that

he himself never had.

Wade Walker, defiantly entering the

Maryland Training School for Boys

had this to say:

It feels good, man. I've never

been so happy in my whole life.

[People clamoring]

##[Band continues playing]

Hurry, Allison, hide.

The newspapers have blown this

completely out of proportion.

He lied to me, Grandmother.

And the whole world knows

that I'm just a Drape fool.

Oh, heavy hangs the head

that last night wore the crown.

##[Band approaching]

# The naughty lady of Shady Lane #

# Has hit the town like a bomb #

# The back fence gossip

ain't been this good #

# Since Mabel ran off with Tom #

# Our town was peaceful and quiet #

# Before she came on the scene #

# The lady has started a riot #

# Disturbing the suburban routine #

Allison Vernon-Williams, you

don't have to decide today.

Give your heart some time to think.

# The naughty lady of Shady Lane #

# So delectable #

# Quite respectable #

# Me-oh-my-oh #

# What a girl #

[people cheering]

[People applauding]

Allison, would you sing with me today?

##[Jailbird by Sonny Knight playing]

# Jailbird, Jailbird Go

around stealing cars #

[clanging]

# Jailbird, Jailbird #

# You'll end up behind iron bars #

# Jailbird, Jailbird #

# Your face was on the early news #

# Jailbird, Jailbird ##

Hey, man, your old lady's on the radio.

There's trouble, Cry-Baby, big trouble.

Allison!

There's a new place that's opening.

It's sort of wild, kind of cool.

It's called a theme park

and it's the first one

in the state of Maryland.

I'd be proud to, Baldwin.

Cry-Baby Walker, I hope

you're happy with Lenora.

I only have one thing to say to you.

I think you're a liar and a cad,

and I spit on your tears.

I can sing better than Cry-Baby Walker

any day of the week.

# Well, I'm in here

'cause I drive too fast #

have a criminal past #

# Some good behavior

would be all right #

# But I don't seem to qualify #

# I'm just out for a little fun #

# I guess I'm doing

time for being young #

# So cut these shackles off of me #

(all) # Let me go, let me go #

# This kind of suit don't set me free #

# Set me free, set me free #

# Well, I can't live if I can't ride #

# Let me ride, let me ride #

# I want my baby by my side #

# I'm just out for a little fun #

# But I'm guilty till I'm 21 #

# I guess I'm doing

# Now, I can't let the right thing #

# Stand in my way #

# Someday, baby, I'll know better #

# But right now I'm making my pay #

[all hollering]

# What do I do, who do I thank? #

# What can I do? What can I do? #

# To get me out of this stinking tank #

# Stinking tank Stinking tank #

# It's heartbreaking to be this age #

# Stuck in a cage Stuck in a cage #

# Locked in the prison of teenage rage #

# Stuck in a cage with a teenage rage #

[all clamoring]

# Well, I was out for a little fun #

# I guess I'm guilty till I'm 21 #

##[I'm a Bad Bad Girl

by Little Esther playing]

# I'm a bad girl ##

Who the hell is this?

This is Inga. She's from Sweden.

She's an exchange student.

And she's going to be

staying with us for a while.

Inga, this is our

daughter, Wanda. Say hello.

Ya?

[Scoffs] I'm blowing this joint.

Well, Inga doesn't

understand English very well.

Inga, say hello to Wanda.

Ya?

Say hello to our daughter.

Ya?

Uh, h-honey, why don't

you come over and sit down?

Get to know one another.

Look at all the wonderful presents

she's brought us from her native land.

Let's all put on a folk hat

and learn something

about a foreign culture.

Do we have a surprise

for you. Don't we, Meg?

We sure do.

All this silly trouble

you've been having lately...

Wanda, honey, you're going to Sweden,

this afternoon at 3:00.

You mean you swapped me?

For a milkmaid?

Oh, honey, Inga's mater

and pater will treat you

just like one of the family. Ya, Inga?

Ya. Ya, Ya.

You want to learn about America, Inga?

In America, we like boys.

We like hot boys.

Boys with roaming hands

and rushing fingers.

Wanda honey, want some Ovaltine?

Ya. Ya, Ya.

Yeah, I'm just a bebop baby.

And I don't take nothing from no one.

See you later, Daddy-o's.

Have a cool Yule and a frantic First.

[People shouting]

Hold on, homeboy.

Almost done.

I know it hurts,

but being this cool's always a pain.

Ah, the pain ain't nothing, Dupree.

I've been hurt all my life,

but real tears wash away.

Ow.

This one's for Allison and

I want it to last forever.

Oh.

There you go. It's a beauty.

[Door clanking] You

never have to cry again.

[Squeaking]

I heard talkin' in here.

W-what's that on your

A booger?
