Mental Page #10

Synopsis: The Moochmore girls are certain they all suffer from some kind of undiagnosed mental illness - because if they're not crazy then they're just unpopular. Their mother Shirley - unable to cope with her demanding daughters and unsupported by her philandering politician husband, Barry - suffers a nervous breakdown. After Barry commits his wife to a mental hospital (telling his constituents that "she's on holiday") he finds himself alone with 5 teenage girls he barely knows. Desperate, he impulsively picks up a hitchhiker named Shaz and installs her in his home as nanny to his daughters.

A SILENT FILM:
Danny, Dakota

& The Wishing Well.

Danny met Dakota

looking deep into the wishing well.

Danny couldn't write

so Dakota taught him how to spell.

Dakota left school

and she moved down south.

She never knew why Danny

wouldn't open his mouth.

So she Woo woo.

She ran away Woo woo.

From the wishing well.

Danny got a job

and he kept every promise he made.

Dakota got married

Let the memories slip away.

And Danny never wrote

though he often cried.

Dakota missed Danny

but she didn't know why.

Dakota found her husband in a hotel

with her very best friend.

She tried to make it work

but she couldn't trust him again.

Dakota moved back to the wishing well.

But she never told Danny

'cause she couldn't tell.

If he still Woo woo.

Held a ame Woo woo.

For the love J Woo woo.

That Dakota stole when she ran

J Woo woo.

Away J Woo woo.

From the wishing well.

Go back, go back

To the wishing well.

Go back, go back

To the wishing well.

Go back, go back

To the wishing well.

Go back, go back, go back.

Months went by, Dakota learned

where Danny could be found.

Once a year he waited

by a deep stone hole in the ground.

Dakota found Danny

where they first had met.

She took his hand and she told him,

Friend, don't let.

Woo woo.

Me run away Woo woo.

Again J Woo woo.

From the love we found when we met.

Woo woo.

Looking deep

Go back, go back.

Into the wishing well.
