Kid In A Candy Store
Although Jessica and Sidney are just developing their friendship, they teasingly observe that there are a lot interesting members of the opposite sex at the Oasis tonight. They sing the opening song of Act II - KID IN A CANDY STORE, and are joined by the rest of the cast who admonish them not to be so greedy. At the end of the song the two realize that they've gone overboard, decide they've had enough of the "fluff in the candy store", and with relief return to their conversation at the table.
(Partial lyrics)
SIDNEY
ONCE I WAS TRULY ALONE
I HAD NO FRIENDS OF MY OWN
I’M NOT THAT WAY ANY MORE
I’M A KID IN A CANDY STORE.
WHICH CANDY WOULD I PREFER
THIS ONE- OR THAT ONE - OR HER? (Points to several gals)
NO USE PRETENDING I’M COY
I’M A REGULAR SWEET TOOTH BOY. (Goes from gal to gal)
CHORUS
DON’T MAKE SUDDEN PASSES
BE SLOW - AS MOLASSES,
NO ONE’S KEEPING SCORE.
JESSICA
I NEVER HAD WHAT IT TOOK
I SAT AT HOME WITH A BOOK
NOW I’M TOO HARD TO IGNORE (Flirts)
I’M A KID IN A CANDY STORE
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY JUDGE
BETWEEN THIS CANDY AND FUDGE? (Two guys on either side)
I’M IN A CHOCOLATE WHIRL
I’M A REGULAR SWEET TOOTH GIRL.
CHORUS
WATCH OUT! - YOU’RE TOO NEEDY
TRY NOT - TO BE GREEDY
WHAT’S THE HURRY FOR?
