(Distant in the background, the sound of a A victrola playing a scratchy old record- ing of Burrs singing) “Marie is tricky Sly and sticky Brudda, you watch out for dat gal: She gwina lub-ya like dere’s no tomorr-ah” (the door to the room opens and a fig- ure steps in. It’s Burrs. In blackface) Burrs But come tomorrah ya gots Plenty ‘Sarrah...” Hot-chitza-dee! (as if in his Vaudeville act) Queenie Burrs, what are you doing? Burrs put the gun down. Burrs You whore. You fuckin’ whore. You…I Loved you! I loved – How many women in the world Say “Okay it’ll do” How many many many many many many many Women? (Burrs focuses all of his energy on Queenie, completely oblivious to Black, To anything else in the entire world) You! Queenie Burrs, please. Burrs You! Queenie Please don’t do this. Burrs You! Queenie Burrs please (Black charges at Burrs. They struggle, The gun between them) Black – Queenie/Burrs/Black Noooooo! (gunshot. Burrs staggers away from Black and falls onto the bed. As the vaudeville swirls around her, Queenie says goodbye to Burrs, Kate and Black.) Company Queenie was a blonde and her age stood still And she danced twice a day in the vaudeville So. So. Now you know A fascinating woman As they go Queenie wazza wazza wazza Queenie wazza wazza wazza Queenie wazza wazza wazza – Queenie (as the vaudeville settles, Queenie finds herself alone) Queenie Queenie wazza… Blonde In a vaudeville show… And she hid what she was With a mask of snow… This is was it is to be lost This is what it is to be scared This is what it is – This is what it is – (voices add in, as Queenie begins to remove her makeup) Queenie Love; Hurt; Good- Bye; This is what it is To live in Light. Company To lose what was And long for more And grasp at love And breathe in hurt And leave the night And say goodbye (Queenie steps into the morning light) [Thanks to Alex Smith for lyrics] Back to main page: Wild Party Lyrics
