Two Nobodies In New York

JEFF]
What if this dialog were set to music?
What if what we're saying could be said in a song?

Hey, that's not a bad idea perhaps we could use it
Music in a musical, how can we go wrong?

We could
Ask significant questions
We could
Get important points across

Like?

Are we writing for art

And is art a springboard for fame

And will fame get folks to trust us

But will they trust us
If it's just us
Me and you
Two nobodies in New York

Hey, I think it's working we're discovering choices
Lots of things to think about when writing a show

Yeah, creating a vehicle to showcase our voices
And I don't mean our vocal cords, I mean what's below

Uh-huh

We could
Ask significant questions
We could
Get important points across

Like?

Are we writing for art

And is art a springboard for fame

And will fame get us a paycheck

But will a paycheck mean that we're sellouts
And if we sell out
Will they yell out
Me and you
Two nobodies in New York

Key change!

Maybe someday our show will get a theater
And if not this festival then somewhere out west

TV actors in our show, what could be better?

What?

Sweeter, we've been over this. You know the lyric is sweeter

But here's the deal. One of them sounds like it's two syllables
And the other sounds like it's three syllables, so it's
Like: sweeter, the-ater. Does that rhyme?

Yes. Sorry, Larry, from the key change. A-five, six, seven, eight!
(sung)
Maybe someday our show will get a theater
And if not this festival then somewhere out west

TV actors in our show, what could be swee-ater?

Thanks. Great
(sung)
We could get that woman who was on Empty Nest

Dinah Manoff, she's awesome!

Yeah

She was in Grease

Yeah!

And Leader of the Pack!

We could
Ask significant questions
We could
Get important points across

Like are we writing for art
And is art a springboard for fame
And will fame get us a sitcom
And will a sitcom get us on Ellen

And will Ellen get folks to like us
And if they like us
Will they mike us
Me and You

Two nobodies in New York
Nobodies in New York!
