Queenie Was A Blonde
Original Broadway Cast of Wild Party
GENRE (The sound of blaring Vaudeville music. Curtain up. A group of MEN appear - a motley assortment of shapes and sizes. They all exude a sense of detachment and malicious glee.)
[MAN 1 - JACKIE]
Queenie was a blonde
And her age stood still
And she danced twice a day
In the vaudeville
[MAN 2 - GOLD]
Gray eyes
[MAN 3 - OSCAR]
Lips like coals aglow
[MAN 4 - EDDIE]
Her face was a tinted mask of snow
[MEN]
Queenie was a blonde
And her age stood still
And she danced twice a day
In the vaudeville
[MAN 5 - GOLDBERG]
What hips!
[MEN]
What hips!
[MAN 6 - PHIL]
What shoulders
[MAN 1 - JACKIE]
What a back she had
[MEN]
QUEENIE WAZZA WAZ
[MAN 3 - OSCAR]
Her lips were built to drive men mad
[Men]
Mad... mad... mad... mad... mad... mad
(A line of CHORINES enter, QUEENIE among them. She is a piece of work. Not young, not old. Sexy but not because of her costume. Her face is powdered white. QUEENIE and the CLORINES strut their stuff. It's a nasty routine.)
[CHORINES]
"'rriverdacci!
Apalachee!
Woooooo!
[QUEENIE]
(dry)
Woo
[ALL]
Men men men men...
[MAN 2 - GOLD]
They might be blackguards
[MAN 5 - GOLDBERG]
They might be curs
Ow!
[MAN 1 - JACKIE]
They might be actors
[MAN 4 - EDDIE]
Sports
[MAN 3 AND 6 - OSCAR AND PHIL]
Chauffeurs
[MAN 1 - JACKIE]
She never inquired of the men she desired
'Bout their social status or wealth
[MAN 6 - PHIL]
She was only concerned about their
Health
[MAN 4 - PHIL]
True
[ALL]
True
[MAN 4 - PHIL]
She knew
[ALL]
She knew
[MAN 4 - PHIL]
There was little she hadn't been through
[MAN 3 - OSCAR]
And she liked her lovers
Violent and vicious
[MAN 6 - PHIL]
Queenie was sexually ambitious
(The company of MEN and WOMEN assembles itself around QUEENIE: a wicked jived world of cads and would-be's, lurid lips and hips.)
[COMPANY]
Queenie was sexually ambitious, sexually ambitious, sexually
Queenie wazza wazza wazza
Queenie wazza wazza wazza
Queenie wazza wazza wazza
Queenie wazza
Queenie wazza
Queenie was a blonde and her age stood still
And she danced twice a day in the vaudeville
So

A fascinating woman
As

Go
Queenie wazza wazza wazza wazza wazza...
