Musical: Wild Party
Song: Lowdown-Down
Queenie
(to black)
Some are born for higher things
like hitchin’ up to uptown kings:
I was born for iron beds and bums.
Well alrighty then
That’s the lowdown-down.
Swim with sharks in shallow pools
you get bit and them’s the rules.
I got bit and almost eaten whole.
But I liked it, yeah.
That’s the lowdown-down
Some get good at trafficking in souls.
I got good at rollin’ with the rolls.
Some get given everything they need.
Well, that’s a lucky break;
I steal what I can take and I roll.
And I plead and I duck- oh hey,
And I bleed.
Some are born to rise above
sleepless nights and sloe-gin love-love-love;
I was born to ask: “why was I born?”
And the answer is:
Get me some more ice, will ya?
(She holds out her glass. He doesn’t take
it)
Small town girl she comes to town;
Tin of rouge and strapless gown;
Does a lot before she gets to die.
But with a smile she’ll say:
“That’s the lowdown-down…”
(as Burrs looks on, Black crosses to
kiss Queenie as Burrs looks on)
