The Twenty Dollar Bill

The next day I go off to school

Noah, darling, study hard

You should see his last report card, Papa

Everything Cs and Ds

Look at this!

The hypocrites!

Eulogizing, rhapsodizing

Kennedy!

Kennedy!

They hated him!

They murdered him!

Did him in

And now...

Good morning, Caroline

All day long I sit at school

Drifting, dreaming

In the classroom

Inattentive

'Cause I'm bored!

Study, Noah!

Study hard

Drawing doodles

Maccabees

Bumblebees

Christmas trees

And all the toys I plan to buy with-

Buy with...

Buy with...

Suddenly he sits up straight

Suddenly he can concentrate

Suddenly open go the eyes

Suddenly I realize

A dreadful blow he has been dealt

Left my... left my...

Chanukah gelt

All that money

Twenty dollars!

Twenty dollars!

In your pocket

In the pocket of your pants

In the pocket of my pants

There's still a chance

Maybe she hasn't done the laundry

There's all that cleaning after a party

Oh, please

Clock, please

Clock

Strike three now!

Tick

Tock

Tick

Tock

Anyhow, she can't

It's mine!

She can't have my money

I'll sue

Oh, come on, clock

It's only two

I'm plotzing with anxiety

Alright already

Now

Its

Three

Finally!

The second I hear the three o'clock bell

I'm a bat out of hell

I run down the street

Like a blur

And right away (consequences)

The washing machine (unforeseen)

I'm on!

In the basement

It's on

It's her

The spin cycle's already started

The spin- she's down there!

Wait! Wait!

Caroline!

What?

Did you find-?

Yeah, I did

And now? It's mine
