ANDY Whaddaya mean don't talk to 'em? I ballyhooed my lungs out this mornin'.
QUEENIE People don't remember dat long. Dis is how to get 'em! (COLORED CHORUS gradually enters) Hey! Where yo' think you're goin'? Don't yo' know dis show is startin' soon? Hey! Jes' a few seats left yere! It's light inside an' outside dere's no moon. What fo' you gals dressed up dicty? Where's yo' all gwine? Tell dose stingy men o' yourn To step up here in line! C'mon, folks, we're rarin' to go, Is you or ain't you seein' dis show? Get het up, dere'll be no let up, here!
CHORUS Listen to dat gal talk!
QUEENIE You'll be excited all night, Grippin' yo' man an' holdin' him tight, Two seats for twenty cents ain't so dear! (drawing them to her confidentially) Story's 'bout a lady in love, Loves her man, but, Heavens above! Dere's a villain bad as you ever see.
CHORUS Um-um-um!
QUEENIE White outside, but black in de heart, Swears dose two young lovers to part, He's de worstest scallawag dat can be.
CHORUS Um-um-um! (Her audience's eyes are beginning to pop out. She becomes mysterious)
QUEENIE He tries to get her alone, You hear dat little gal moan, Ol' villain makin' her groan Wid woe! -ac
