the scene continues...
THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM have set up their instruments, and are ready to play for the crowd.
FLOYD: Ladies and gentlemen...
DR. TEETH: And anything that might not be covered by those descriptions!
FLOYD: Tonight, we are very proud and pleased to play for you a couple of our favorite little numbers. And now, if you would please join us in some hard rock... hit it!
The band quickly go into a hard rock number. The crowd, however, isn't in to this sort of music, and immediately turn on the band, booing them off.
SCOOTER: Oh, no!
BEAN: What? What Scooter?
SCOOTER: We oughta help them out!
They rush to help the band.
BOBO: Wait! I'll come, too!
FLOYD: Uh-oh! Sounds like the groove went out on these cats.
SCOOTER and BEAN get up onstage.
SCOOTER: Let me try something. I think I know what kind of music this crowd might be into.
FLOYD: And how in the name of Count Baise would you know that?
SCOOTER: They're circus folks. Besides, there's a number I did on The Muppet Show that might help out.
FLOYD: The mic is yours, man. But when the angry crowd comes and destroys my guitar... I'm comin' for you, man.
SCOOTER: Gotcha.
SCOOTER takes the microphone, and FLOYD steps aside. BOBO wanders onstage, huffing and puffing.
BOBO: Aw, man, I gotta get in shape. PHEW!
SCOOTER:
(sung)
I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear.
Oh, I'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear!
BOBO looks around to see if there's another bear he might be talking about.
SCOOTER:
Outrageous alarming courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Seen at the nicest places where well fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear
They'll love us...
BOBO:
Won't they?
SCOOTER:
They feed us...
BOBO:
Don't they?
SCOOTER:
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
SCOOTER forces BOBO into a little dance, which he eventually gets into with great enthusiasm.
SCOOTER:
Who needs money...
BOBO:
When you're funny?!?!?!
SCOOTER:
The big attraction everywhere
Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
It's Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear!
The crowd goes wild.
FLOYD: Hey, that was okay, man! You might make a good addition to the band after all.
SCOOTER: Really? Me? Part of the band? Wow! What would I do? What would I play?
FLOYD: Well, for one thing, whenever we need one wimpy, weird song like that. For another, you ever pick up a tamboruine?
SCOOTER: Wow! Part of the band...
FLOYD: Thing is, you'll have to find someone to pick up your road managing duties. And you'll have to split your pay with him.
SCOOTER: But I don't get paid.
FLOYD: And he gets half of that!
BEAN: Oh, excuse me? Excuse me? Look no farther, sir! I, Bean Bunny, would gladly take over his road managing dutarials!
FLOYD: Dut-what now?
BEAN: That is... if you don't mind, of course.
FLOYD: Well, shoot, I suppose we could use a little bunny around in case we get stranded somewhere with nothin' to eat. Come along, little fella!
BEAN: Oh, boy! Thanks alot, sir! I tell ya, I'll do great at this job! Ha ha!
SCOOTER: ... I'm part of the band!
