The Munchie Man

Back in the mid 80’s we did a “Road Show” musical based on the Music Man.  I played the Robert Preston role.  Except instead of wearing a band leaders uniform I was rockin some tights, sweat shirt and ankle weights

I recently stumbled across the script and lyrics from the show.

Seventy six pounds off by the first of May,
With a hundred and ten pounds more after that
We’ll get rid of our rolls and rolls and fit in our pantyhose,
Then no one can ever call us fat.

(drill sergeant)

Seventy six pounds off and you’ll blow away.
You’ll get rid of those lumps and bumps, or you’ll stay!
So get out there and hit that track ’cause we don’t give money back,
Checks and cash – we don’t care how you pay.

(Reprise)

Seven or six pounds off – we will make it yet
We will diet and exercise every day.
We’ll get rid of unwanted fat and we’ll never gain it back:
Self-control is the one and only way.

O-Oh, the Weight Watchers’ Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
Oh, please let it be for me.
O-Oh, the Weight Watchers’ Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
I hope that it can do something for me!
I’d like to have a dreamy date by my birthday
And I’d just like to go out at all
Just once I want to fit a size seven–
I’d really dazzle them if I were at the big state
