J. Alfred Prufrock Comin' Round the Mountain

MALE VOICE: Let’s go through the streets half-empty, you and I
FEMALE VOICES:(You and I)
MALE VOICE: We’ll eat oyster-shells and sawdust, you and I
FEMALE VOICES:(You and I)
MALE VOICE: Oh, do not ask “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit
Where the evening’s lying drugged out on the sky
FEMALE VOICES:(On the sky)

MALE VOICE: There’s the room where all the women come and go
FEMALE VOICES:(Come and go)
MALE VOICE: Yes, that room is where the women come and go
FEMALE VOICES:(Come and go)
MALE VOICE: ‘Cause that Michelangelo
May be just a gigolo
But they always come when to his room they go
FEMALE VOICES:(He’s a ho)

MALE VOICE: And indeed there will be time to smoke that stuff
FEMALE VOICES:(Smoke that stuff)
MALE VOICE: If you want to smoke that sliding yellow stuff
FEMALE VOICES:(Yellow stuff)
MALE VOICE: And a hundred indecisions
Lots of visions and revisions
And it sounds like you’ve already smoked enough
FEMALE VOICES:(Smoked enough)

MALE VOICE: And there will be time to wonder “Do I dare?”
FEMALE VOICES:(Do you dare?)
MALE VOICE: Or should I just go slinking down the stair?
FEMALE VOICES:(Down the stair)
MALE VOICE: ‘Cause I sure know to dress
But I simply must confess
There’s a bald spot in the middle of my hair
FEMALE VOICES:(Hair beware)

MALE VOICE: I have known the eyes already, known them all
FEMALE VOICES:(Known them all)
MALE VOICE: And would it have been worth it, after all
FEMALE VOICES:(After all)
MALE VOICE: To be ogling the charms
Of your braceleted white arms —
I swear that is not what I meant at all
FEMALE VOICES:(Not at all)

MALE VOICE: I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be
FEMALE VOICES:(Meant to be)
MALE VOICE: You won’t hear me say “To be or not to be”
FEMALE VOICES:(Not to be)
MALE VOICE: It’s as much as I can do
To fill up a scene or two
Especially since I really need to pee
FEMALE VOICES:(Need to pee)

MALE VOICE: I am working up the nerve to eat this peach
FEMALE VOICES:(Eat the peach!)
MALE VOICE: It’s a scary moldy nasty-looking peach
FEMALE VOICES:(Eat the peach!)
MALE VOICE: I’m so freaked out by this peach
That I gotta hit the beach
So I can hear the mermaids singing, each to each
FEMALE VOICES:(Each to each)

FEMALE VOICES:We’re those mermaids and we’re wearing red and brown
MALE VOICE: (Red and brown)
FEMALE VOICES:We are sea girls wreathed in seaweed red and brown
MALE VOICE: (Red and brown)
FEMALE VOICES:We’re not singing for that clown
‘Cause he really brings us down
MALE VOICE: [TEN SYLLABLES OF GARGLING NOISES]
FEMALE VOICES:(Whoops, he drowned)
