Musical: Steel Pier
Song: A Powerful Thing
MICK:
WHEN I WAS A TODDLER
DADDY TOOK THE STRAP
AND SAID, "I'M GONNA TEACH YOU, SON
HOW NOT TO GROW UP LIKE A SAP"
AND EVERY TIME HE WHACKED ME
THIS MESSAGE CAME ACROSS
DON'T EVER BE AN EMPLOYEE
ALWAYS BE THE BOSS
AND, WALKER, CAN'T YOU TELL?
I LEARNED MY LESSON WELL
WHEN I SAY DANCE,
WATCH 'EM DANCE
WHEN I SAY STOP,
SEE THEM STOP
WHEN I SAY SING,
HEAR THEM SING
POWER IS A WONDERFUL THING
MR. WALKER:
YES, BOSS, I AGREE
YOU CERTAINLY OVERPOWER ME.
MICK:
WHEN I SAY LAUGH,
MICK:
HEAR 'EM LAUGH
WHEN I SAY WEEP,
WATCH 'EM WEEP
WHEN I WANT NOISE,
BELLS WILL RING.
BOTH:
POWER IS A BEAUTIFUL THING:
MICK:
TAKE RITA, FOR EXAMPLE,
SHE MADE ALL THE MAGAZINES
'CAUSE WHEN LINDY LANDED HOME
FROM FRANCE
SHE KISSED HIM FIRST,
BUT NOT BY CHANCE
I STAGED THAT HAPPY CIRCUMSTANCE
THE FIRST OF MANY BRILLIANT ROUTINES
MR. WALKER:
NOW I KNOW WHAT HUMILITY MEANS
MICK:
SO, IF I SMILE, SAY HELLO
BUT IF I'M BORED, OFF YOU GO
IF I SAY JUMP, UP YOU'LL SPRING
'CAUSE I'VE GOT POWER
MR. WALKER:
YOU'VE GOT POWER
MICK:
LOTS OF POWER
MR. WALKER:
TONS OF POWER
BOTH:
AND POWER IS A POWERFUL THING.
MICK:
TAKE YOU, FOR EXAMPLE
YOU'RE AN HONEST MAN...
MR. WALKER:
I GUESS
MICK:
BUT WHEN I SAY LIE
MR. WALKER:
I LIE
MICK:
WHEN I SAY CHEAT
MR. WALKER:
I CHEAT
MICK:
WHEN I SAY STEAL
MR. WALKER:
I STEAL
MICK:
AND WHAT DO YOU SAY?
MR. WALKER:
YES!
MICK:
SAY IT AGAIN.
MR. WALKER:
YES!
MICK:
LOUDER PLEASE!
MR. WALKER:
YES ... MICK:
SO HERE'S THE DEAL
GOOD OLD SPORT
I'M THE STAR YOU SUPPORT
MICK:
IF I'M MAD YOU'LL FEEL MY STING
MR. WALKER:
I'LL KNEEL DOWN AND KISS YOUR RING
MICK:
'CAUSE YOU'RE THE SUBJECT
AND I'M THE KING
MR. WALKER:
BUT POWER CORRUPTS
MICK:
SO, I'M CORRUPTIBLE
MR. WALKER:
POWER DESTROYS
MICK:
BUT I'M INDESTRUCTIBLE
BOTH:
IT'S A FACT THAT
POWER IS A POWERFUL THING!
MICK:
Walker, sit down.
