It's fine. No problem. Shouldn't get in his way, Scottie. Looking good. How's that, Styles? You want to forfeit the game?! Yeah. What's wrong with that? No. No? My players have league scoring records at stake. It wouldn't be fair to them. Just thought if we quit now, you'd beat the 5pm traffic. There's a lot to learn from losing. OK, we'll play, if it's that big a deal to ya. Push it up! All right. Set it up! It's not going too well, is it? What do you expect? Look at their sneakers those guys are wearing. If our guys had sneakers like that, there's no telling what they could do. Shoot! Keep your arms open! Jump it! That fat kid's got a great arm. Over here! Pass it! Forget it, dork! SCOTT GROWLS DRAMATIC MUSIC INSPIRING MUSIC Nice try. Hey! Come on! It's not that bad. First game of the season. 11 to go. Hey! It's just a game! You bozos better shape up out there. I can't do it all by myself. Wow! What is that? Liverwurst? What? Thought you were on a diet, Chubbs? I don't know what you mean. Chubb, look at this. Give me that! Stop snooping around in my locker. Look, Chubb, big guy, I can smell that liverwurst from over there. Oh, yeah, right. Underneath these? All right! Yeah, great game, guys. We lost, Styles. That's why I need the glasses. Hey, Scott, you know that $7 you owe me? You owe me. Listen, Scott, this is important. If I don't come up with the cash for tonight, they won't let me into that party. Look, even If you come up with the cash, where are you gonna buy? Lend me $5. Later. Two. Later. Hey, Chubb! How's the diet? Hey, Lemonade, give me five! You were terrific out there! What the hell is that? Hey, hey, Lemonade, my man! I'm collecting for our Afro-American concert... Mick, can we talk...? Hey, Scottie, come on in. Great game today. Want a thigh or a wing or something? No, that's not necessary, coach. You know you said that if we have any problems, of any nature, we should see you? That's what I'm here for. Great, because...er... I got a problem. Oh, yeah? What kind of problem? You can see I'm a very busy man here. It's kinda complicated. Oh, those kind of problems. What? Drugs? Girls? I would help, but I'm really tapped out. The IRS are on to me like it's some sort of personal vendetta. No, coach...how can I put this? I've been going through changes. Oh, that. Don't worry about that. We all have THAT. Some a bit later. I didn't know. I've not been hanging around the lockers much. No...you see... I don't think I'll be able to play in the team any more. Oh, yeah...well... I know what you're going through. Couple of years back, a kid came to me much the same way you're coming to me now. Saying to me what you're saying. He wanted to drop off the team. His Mom was a crippled widow, she was scrubbing floors, she had a pin in her hip. So he wanted to quit and get a job. These were poor, hungry people with real problems. Understand what I'm saying? What happened to the kid? Don't know. He quit. He was a third stringer, I didn't need him. Yeah, coach, I'm a first stringer. You've got a job with your old man. Really, I should come to you when I need money. Fine...er...thanks a lot, coach. Hey, don't mention it. Like I said before, mi casa, su casa. (Thanks.) You're a big girl now. GIRLS CHATTER Scott. Oh, hi, Boof. Hi. You going to work? Yeah. Can I walk with you? Catch you later, Boof. Bye, Tina. I had the strangest dream, Boof. It was bizarre. Was I in this one? You, Pamela and a load of chickens. Boof, how the hell are you? Say "no". No. Great talking to you. Chickens? Giant ones, like fryers. He was right, we do suck. No news there. 71-12. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sick of it, Boof. I'm sick of being so average. And it's not just basketball, it's school, it's this town, it's everything. I like Beacon Town. I'd like my life to change. I don't want to end up working for my Dad. Your father's a terrific guy. Boof, look at me. Now, try and be objective. Am I all right? Is there anything wrong with me? You should shower after basketball. I do. Then nothing's wrong with you. Then why won't Pamela Wells say two words to me? You could do a lot better than her. Like who? Haven't you got to work? Did I say something wrong? No, see you at the party, OK. Hey, Angela. Hi, Scottie, how're you doing? What was the score? Very funny. 14, 15...What was the score? 71... Don't tell me, I'll lose my count. Down to our last waffle iron. Some of these wrenches are made in India. How can I compete? BOTH: I'm not Sears and Roebuck. You look tired, Scott. That coach not giving you steroids, is he? Not likely. Maybe he should. We lost 71-12. Beacon Town hasn't won a ball game in 3 years. PIERCING WHISTLE Don't take it personally. It's all part of growing up. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Any deliveries? - PIERCING WHISTLE - DAD SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY Today?

How are you, sir? Thanks. Wow, what an arm! Thanks, Mr Thorne. Appreciate it. "I knew he was out there. I didn't actually hear him, but I knew he was there. "I could only see a thin, white crack of light, which set my bedroom apart..." More sensual, darling. We want to feel you. "From the dense and heavy darkness, but surely I could feel him..." CRASH OFFSTAGE What was that? Sorry, sir, it was me. What do you want from me? Hmm? What do people want from me? I am merely trying to rehearse. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've got the stuff you ordered. Are you from the hardware store? Yeah. Ahh! Pamela, excuse me. Are you going to the party tonight?... Because I'd like to give you a ride. My paint, a can of cocoa, a can of mauve. Am I right? Er, right. Kirk, how was my reading? Beautiful, darling. Very sensual. I'm still in pain. Thank you. You're welcome. About tonight, seriously, I'd like to take you. I've got a van. Hope your acting's better than your hook shot. - I already have a ride. - Or were you just acting out there? - He just delivers hardware, Mick. - Well, maybe he should get back to delivering it. Come on. I said mauve, not turquoise! Mr Lolley... The boss wants a keg of beer. Really (?) He did call you? Can't say he did. Damn! The boss is having a bash for one of the boys at the Gravel Pit. He just got paroled. Well, I got plenty of bread. Here. There's a little extra for you. Gotta see your ID... ..sport. I don't even like beer. Never...say...die. Dad? What'd you say if I said I was gonna quit basketball? Quit the team? Yeah. Pretty drastic. You're not the worst player. Still your mother always said you could do anything you want. I know. I might do something else. Like what? School play. Well... Theatre has its place, but what about your commitment to the team? Dad...has anything ever happened to you, that was so weird...? Maybe it's time we had a chat... How's the king of nuts and bolts? Styles, nice shirt. Come on, we're late. Is Boof going? Yeah. Don't know how she's getting there. Is this OK? I'll get it. Have a good time. Come on. Hey, listen, Styles... Any rashes going round? You want one? I'm serious. No. But I hear Mr Murphy - the shop teacher - Yeah. Got his dick caught in a vacuum cleaner. Forget I asked! Styles, you're crazy. No, not crazy. It's perfect. You just stick this in your pocket, like this. You say, "Give me a keg, buddy", and you pay for it. Then he can't say you robbed him. I'd do it, but he kicked me out. Give me the gun. Give me the money. Money. I'm gonna try and buy it. That's it, Styles. This guy is a ball-buster and it won't work. It won't work! Never say... ..die. No, no, no, not that. No, no, I think I'll leave it. No, no, thank you. Do you have any melon liqueur? My sister really liked that. Yes, thank you. Debbie, are you coming? Yes. Hi. Hi. I'd like a keg of beer, please. You don't say (?) How much is that? You have any ID, sonny? You little bastards just won't give up, will you?

I'm not even listening any more... Would you...? Once and for all, they're not going out. They are not going out. Yeah, they are. Lewis? Take my wheels. I haven't got my licence yet. Styles, let's just go to the party. This isn't a good idea. Surf's up. Drive in front of us. Not too close. What are you guys going to do? Lewis, will you just do it? Kids. OK, I'm gonna go slow.

I lied. I got Malcolm. Malcolm's a good guy. You can come a little closer. I promise I won't bite. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Now all you have to do is take this cup. Go to Thorne's house, say you're from the Health Board to check his blood sugar. Boof, er...I feel kinda weird. How do I feel? What is this? Mick, you must see this. I don't see anything. Come on. Scott, you're getting a little bit rough. Hey! Your fingernails! It's awful quiet in there. ALL CHEER, WHOOP You guys think they're dead? Hey! There's only one way to find out. So, tell us, what's it like coming out the closet? It was nice...unexpected. Scott? Scott? INTRIGUING MUSIC MUSIC CONTINUES Jeez Louise. Scott? Can I come in? Er...no, Dad. No, I'm...er...I'm doing something in here. (I'll say.) You may be surprised. Whatever it is, son, you can tell me. I'll understand. MOANS LOUDLY No, Dad...no. Not this time. Scott Howard, this is your father. Now open this door this minute! OK, Dad. You asked for it. An explanation is probably long overdue. An explanation?! Jesus Christ, Dad! An explanation? Look at me...Look at you! It's not as bad as it looks. Wait a minute, Dad. You knew about this and you didn't tell me?! I was hoping not to. It can skip a generation. I was hoping it would pass you by. Well, Dad, it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face. What the hell am I gonna do? Scott, we really need to talk about this. Forget it, Dad. I don't wanna talk. Go away! Tough night, huh? Yeah, yeah, you could say that. On top of everything else, there was a full moon last night. I meant to talk to you about that last night, but you were too upset. Here's a nice, hot cup of cocoa. Looks like you could use it. That'll help (!) Look, Scott...Being what we are is not without its problems... But it's not all bad. Tell me about it. You can do things other guys can't. Like...er...chase cars and bite the mailman (?) When you want it, you're gonna have great power, and with great power goes a greater responsibility. Mom and I lived with it. So can you. What if I can't? I can look forward to a life of stealing babies at midnight, and killing chickens, dodging silver bullets. Thanks but no thanks. Don't believe the movies. With certain exceptions, werewolves are people just like anyone else. What I'm trying to say is, the werewolf is a part of you, but that doesn't change what you have inside. I got a bad outside hook shot, I'm allergic to eggs, I've a $6 haircut, I have problems! I don't need this one. I gotta get to school. That went well (!) Hello. Hi...hi. There's something unusual about you. That's nice. Did you change your hair? Missed you in lunch today, Scott. Er, yeah, hi, Boof... Er, sorry, I forgot... I have to go study my lines. Kurt, Mr Lolley, is so...demanding. Bye. How's it going, Styles? The twins were abandoned, and surely would have died, if they hadn't been saved by a what? A miracle? Yes, I suppose, but what form did this particular miracle take? Scott Howard? SCOTT HOWLS Very amusing, Scott, but you are correct. The infants were saved and suckled by a she-wolf. 'Wolf.' WOLFE! Agghh! Thomas Wolfe. Don't you people ever read what I assign you? "Look Homeward, Angel." Scott!... It's a book, by Thomas Wolfe. 'Wolf.' Scott? Come on, Scott. It's simpler than it looks. OK. Just try, Scott. THUMPING HEARTBEAT CLASSMATES SNIGGER RAPID HEARTBEAT It's wet. You can't go in. That's wet too! Don't change! Don't change! Just stay calm. Stay calm. Stay calm. A little far from your side of the building, aren't you, Howard? No! I mean, yes, sir. But the halls were wet. Let me see your hands. Sir. Let me see your hands, now. You wouldn't happen to have a marker on you, would you? No. No...no, sir. I've got my eyes on you, and if you ever get out of line... BELL RINGS Yeah...I gotta go. Hey, what are you doing? Hey! Big brother always keeps his stash out here for emergencies. Listen, I gotta talk to you about something, cos it's making me nuts. Yeah, if it's that intense, I'll need a solid buzz to think clearly. Well, look I wouldn't even er... I wouldn't even mention it, except that I gotta talk to someone. Are you gonna tell me you're a fag? If you are, I can't handle it. I'm not a fag. I'm a werewolf. Where would that scumbag keep it? LOW GROWLING Scott? Scottie? Styles, it's me. What do you think? Can you do that...anytime you want? Er...yeah, I guess so. I mean, I just did. But sometimes it happens when I don't want it to. What can I say? You're beautiful. Hey, er...what can a Teen Wolf do? I can smell what you're looking for. The stash? No, I checked there. Styles...Styles, this is just between you and me, OK? Yeah, yeah, yeah, TW. Look at you! TW, you'll be pleased you came to me, 'cos with the right angles, man, we're gonna turn this into something monstrous. Styles...Styles. Shoot it! Shoot it! No way! No way! Don't foul me now. Hi, Scott. Hi. Boof came over for a little one-on-one and she's killing me. What?...What's so funny? Nothing. We were just chatting. Do you mind? No, why should I mind? Well, I gotta get going. Would you like to walk me home? Er, Boof, I just got here. Scott. Yeah. Thanks, Harold. Thanks for the game. Work on that jump shot. Yeah, yeah. You coming? Yeah. Get in. So, you guys were chatting. Harold Howard and his famous chats. Er...what did he say? He just mentioned that you were thinking of quitting basketball to work on the school play. Yeah. I can see why. She's very pretty. But she has a boyfriend. A very large boyfriend. It doesn't matter anyway, 'cos the way things are going, I should stay away from everyone. Even me? I couldn't get rid of you if I tried. What? Do you remember? How old were we? Six? We were five. You wouldn't let me run away alone. I was afraid you'd get lost. But I didn't, 'cos our parents... BOTH: ..didn't let us cross streets. I thought they'd kill us. And when we got home no one knew we'd left. Did you ever tell anybody? No. Me neither. Scott... If you need someone to talk to, if something's bothering you, I'll understand. Er...not this time, Boof. You wouldn't understand. I've gotta go. Yeah. Meet the all-new King Meaty at BK. With Ploughman's Chutney, a third-pound Angus beef patty, Tendercrisp chicken, bacon and a hint of vegetable. It's all part of the irresistible new Meatatarian Range. OK, now, here's the drill. Play 'em man for man. You know who you got. Hey, babe! You got a nice haircut. Be all you can be. Lewis, what's going on today? Is the President here or something? Good luck, Scott. Er, thanks. Thank you. Remember, it'll be over in an hour. New strategy against medium, coach? You're great. You've nothing to be ashamed of. Go out and give them hell. Come on, Scottie. Up to the line. Go and get me some salt... Salt! Easy. Easy. Come on, let's go. LOW GROWLING All right, guys! All right!

No waiting, everyone. Check it out. Scott, tip of the iceberg. We are cleaning up. Boof, I got something for you. Here you go, honey. Elegant (!) Scott! Scott! Listen to this, Kurt wants you to be in the play. He does? Wait a minute. What about basketball? It won't interfere. It's a small part. Here, Pamela, have this. It's too big for me. There are some advantages. Right? "You can murder my family, you can ravage my body, "but I beg you with all that is decent and holy, don't destroy my plantation." "Sergeant, burn the fields, and when you're done with that, burn the house." Yeah...er...wolf, wolf, wolf... person, whatever your name is. That was really... Thanks, babe. I love ya. Something. KNOCK ON DOOR Come in. Hi. Close the door, please. Er...yeah. Relax. We're just one, big, happy family in the theatre. Yep. THUMPING HEARTBEAT What happened to the wolf? Do you just change back and forth, whenever you feel like it? Er, sure, well, sometimes I have to get kinda worked up to be the wolf, but it's not too hard.

You don't scare me, freak. Underneath all that hair you're still a dork, Scott. I've handled your kind before. Your Mom stole our chickens, till I blew her head off. LOW GROWLING So, er, does that guy Mick always act like that? You can hardly blame him. He is my boyfriend. WAS your boyfriend. IS my boyfriend. But, er, what about us? What about us? Well, this afternoon. In your dressing room. Yeah? Yeah. Well, you see, the Spring Dance is coming up and... ..and I already told you, I'm going with Mick. Hey, Chubberoo! Nice game, guy. Yeah. At least we're winning. You mean he's winning. When do we ever touch the ball? Yeah, none of us get to play. Doesn't matter how you play. It's whether you win or lose. Hey, guys, how about a celebration? Chubby! Ice-cream sundae... I'm on a diet, Scott, remember? Brad, glass of milk? I don't get it, coach. What's their problem? Here's some advice. I got 3 rules. Never get less than 12 hours sleep. Never play cards with someone named after a city. Never go near a lady with a dagger tattooed on her body. You stick with that - everything else is cream cheese. Great game there, Scotty. Thanks, coach. Styles? Where the hell did you get this? Hey, Harry's used cars. We traded in the Nova. Even swap. How much extra did you pay? Even swap... For certain considerations. What? Lookie here! Agghh! Styles! Hey, surf's up? Yeah, yeah, surf is definitely up. Right, let's go pick up Lewis, OK? Styles, what is it with Lewis? He's avoiding me, right? He's scaring me. Look, man, we got some fine wheels, we got some good tunes, and a total disregard for public safety. You're right. Let's go. All right! Wait a minute. These waves are mine. # We'll all be planning out a route # We're gonna take real soon # We're waxing down our surfboards # We can't wait for June # We'll all be gone for the summer # We're on safari to stay # Tell the teacher we're surfin' # Surfin' USA # And Haggerty's and Swami's. # Pacific Palisades. # San Onofre and Sunset, Redondo Beach LA. # All over La Jolla, # At Waimea bay. # Everybody's gone surfin' # Surfin' USA. # Missed you at the hardware store the last few days. Er, yeah...Sorry. I was with Styles this afternoon. I know. You saw? Yeah, I saw... Unless that was another werewolf doing a handstand on Styles' van and making a fool of himself. Look, Dad...I'm trying to get a grip on this. I really am. Is Thorne still on your back? Yeah, Thorne... some Neanderthal named Mick... and the entire basketball team. You've dug your own hole with those guys, but the Thorne business is my fault. What do you mean, "your fault"? It goes back a few years. I loved your Mom since we were kids. We knew we were meant for each other. But Rusty Thorne set his cap for her too, and he just wouldn't go away. One night, things got a little physical... ..and you turned into the werewolf. Out of anger, Scott. I turned into the werewolf out of anger. In front of his beady little eyes. Was he scared? Scared?... He lost control of his bodily functions. I wish I could have seen that. It wasn't a very nice thing to do. It worked. After that, he never bothered your Mom and me. But to this day, I don't know who was the most frightened that night. Old Rusty Thorne or me. You gotta get a hold of it, son. Morning, Daisy. Morning. Boof...Er, what's up? Nothing. Why does anything have to be up? I just thought I'd walk with you. Got any plans for the Spring Dance? No, I hadn't given it much thought. I'm surprised it's not called "Teen Wolf Ball" (!) Will you, er... go with me to the dance? I'll think about it. Is that a "yes". Yes!...On one condition... YOU take me to the dance. I thought we just established that. You! Scott Howard, not the wolf. No...no. I gotta be the wolf, they'll all expect it. Do you want that? Everybody does. All right, almost everybody. You said it yourself, if I go as Scott Howard, I'll be average. Damn it! Why do I have to be average? That's not a problem for you now. And I guess I don't have a date for the dance. Look, Boof... I'm sorry...I can't. Hey, listen...You'll still dance with me won't you? Even if I'm a werewolf? Yes, I'll dance with you. Will you feed me grapes? Don't push your luck! Will you tickle my paws? "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" PLAYS She's right. You are an animal. HE HOWLS POP MUSIC PLAYS Hey, guys! Hey, how're you doing? Save me a dance? You must ask my escort. Stay away from her. Still wanna dance with the wolf? Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! I think your public wants you. Come on. # Well, you sure don't look like no grandma # Your hair is burning white # I've watched you feast and eat # No, your voice don't sound like no grandma # It's giving me the creeps # You're sure not past eighteen # You're a big bad wolf! # Big bad wolf! # Big bad wolf! # Big bad wolf # You think I'm stupid like grandma # You never fooled me none # I know the things you done # You're a big bad wolf! # Big bad wolf!...# What? What am I gonna do about you? Hey, Boof, I am what I am. All I said was - I might wanna dance with him. You can't take him seriously. Unless you're planning on having his puppies. I want Scott for just a half hour. I really missed him. Stay away from Pamela. She's mine. Stick with your own kind, freak. Like that little tramp. Mick, watch out! GROWLING ALL LAUGH What are you all laughing at? You're just some kind of animal. Come here, freak! Get back here! Let go of me! Get back here! Come on, freak! I'm not through with you yet! This isn't done by a long shot! Get back in here, freak! Hold it! Now you've done it. You don't know how long I've waited to get you right where I have you. You're never going to play basketball again...You know why? Because you're not going to be here any more. That's why. You're outta here. And don't try... Thorne! Go on home, son. Go ahead. I'll handle this. You never learn, do you, Rusty? You stay away from me. I want you to leave my son alone. He's a good kid. He's just having a tough time right now. OK? HE GROWLS I knew I could count on you, Rusty. "You can murder my family, you can ravage my body, "but I beg you, with all that is decent and holy, "don't destroy my plantation." "Sergeant, burn the fields..." Hold it! Hold it! "down the house..." Hold it! Hold it right there, babe. Listen... This is a full dress rehearsal. We need the wolf. So wolf out! Wolf up, wolf it, whatever. Pronto, amigo. Mr Lolley, I've been thinking and I decided I'd rather play the part as me. Well, play it...play it as myself. That wouldn't be theatre, would it? See no one wants to see you. Like I said, I'd rather play it like this. OK, I see... How am I going to put this to you? Look at it this way - No wolf, no wolf...no part. What do you think? Wow! A bummer, huh? Hey, Scottie. Look at it this way, Boof, at least I'll have my Friday nights free. Even if you're not the wolf, do you have to quit basketball? Of course. Look, you've seen me play basketball. I suck! I can't give them the wolf anymore. Wait a minute. What's going on? What are you guys talking about? We're talking about the wolf. I can't do it. You saw what happened. Are you crazy? I think maybe I am. The championship is in 4 hours. You got everyone depending on you. What are you gonna do? Let down your team, your school, your town? What about me? I've invested a lot over here. Hey, Scott, do it for me. I gotta go, man. Scott, help me out. Do the right thing. That's all I wanna do, Styles. That's all I wanna do. WHISTLE BLOWS, SHOUTING DROWNS OUT SPEECH Chubby! Chubby, get time. Come here. See that? Come on! That's a Purple Heart, kid. Smart basketball rap. Taking a charge like that. (Oh, man!) So, where's the wolf? Not today, coach. No wolf. CROWD CHANT "WOLF" You'll wait. Build your confidence. Coach, no wolf. Not now, not ever! I wanna play. But I gotta be myself. OK. But we're gonna get our brains beaten in, you know. You won't change your mind? I'm not going back. I've had it. I think we can take these guys. Terrific, Scott. Where's the wolf? No, Chubb. I mean it. I think we can win this. This is the championship. We're here. It doesn't matter how. We gotta pull it off ourselves. WHISTLE BLOWS Hey, Harold, your boy let us down! You're dead. Shoot! Shoot it! Shoot it! Shoot it, fat boy! # I was down to zero Still an unsung hero # Waiting for my ship to come ashore # I stood empty handed Like a seagull stranded # Watching for the other seagulls' soar # I was standing in the road Risking rain and thunder # Witness to a silent fantasy # I was going to extremes # Losing stamped upon my dreams again # I never thought I'd win # I was blinded by the pain Running wildly through the rain # In a parody of ecstasy # I was inches from the edge # Fingers clinging to the ledge again # I never thought I'd win # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end!...# How much more of this can you take? As much as you can dish out, Mick. # Got to keep my cool # I am not the fool Everyone expects to blame me for # Once we change the pattern Steal a ring from Saturn # Forge myself into a metal ball # I am equal to the task I won't hide behind a mask # What you see is what you'll get from me # I am stronger than they think # They can force me to the brink again # And now I know I'd win! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end!...# What's so funny, Dork? That's four fouls. One more and you're out of there. # Like a true defender I will not surrender # Why should I lie down for them and die? # I am equal to the task I won't hide behind a mask # What you see is what you'll get from me # I am stronger than they think # They can force me to the brink again # And now I know I'd win! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Yeah in the end, yeah, yeah! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end, yeah! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Win in the end! # I'm gonna win in the end! # Right! Come on. Make your move. ALL SHOUT Fat boy. Come on, try it. You gotta get back. Get back! You got two shots. Get back! Off the court. CHEERING DROWNS OUT SPEECH # Funny how sometimes life just changes overnight # Magically everything you do turns out so right # Just like that, you pull rabbits out of your hat # You've got the charm that even wizards can't explain # You can make rainbows from a single drop of rain # Who can say it's a trick you learn how to play? # When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it # Guess a lucky star is shining on you. # The candle on the cake is yours, so take it Let's pull out of here. Drop dead! # Tell me I can do it too # The candle on the cake is yours, so take it. # Make another wish, it's sure to come true # You say, there's really nothing to it # Maybe I can do it too... #
