Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi - Phil Willmott

MUSIC INTRO STARTS
THOMPSON: Listen you ever been to Crosby. It’s very pretty. Maybe if you
got out of here sometime, got a bit of sun light, sea air.
Rats
FRITZ: (INTENSE)
Rats are very cunning.
They wait and watch your weakness as they cower.
And all the time they’re breeding,
As their waiting, watching, feeding till the hour
When they’re stronger then you, bigger then you
Then they pounce and gather up the shoots and seeds
Till everything and everyone the rat has touched
Becomes weak and diseased.
THOMPSON: (BREEZY)
Blundell aint Bermuda but it’s fun,
Try it Fritzy,
Paddling in the sea when your work is done
Feeling frisky.
Keep your California I want Crosby’s sun
With a candyfloss and bag of chips to come.
Get a little sand beneath your toes
That’ll sort you
What will tomorrow bring us?
No one knows
So why worry
Forget your troubles
Grab your self a brolly and head
To the Wirral Riviera scene instead
FRITZ:
Mice are very diff’rent.
Mice won’t over whelm you, each adapts
Though rats may rule the kingdom now,
Other forces plan ingenious traps
And the kingdom of mice, will return to the mice
Free from the old tyranny they face
Till that day I nourish them like one day,
I’ll inspire the human race.
WE NOW CUT BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS BETWEEN THE BOYS IN THE
KITCHEN AND JO AS YOUNG ALICE BUSTLING AROUND AT RECEPTION.
THOMPSON: Waterloo Station
