The next day everyone is at the office. Don stands in the doorway of his office watching Olivia and Elliot at their desks.
Don:
Little ditty, about Jack and Diane
2
American kids growin up in the heartland.
Jacky goin' be a
football star
Diane's debutante--backseat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on chili dog outside the tastey freeze.
Diane
sittin' on Jacky's lap, got his hands between her knees
Jacky
say, "Hey Diane, let's run off 'hind a shady tree,
Dribble
off those Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please.
Jacky says,
oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Say
uh, oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone.
They walk on.
Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the
moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.
Well
then there Diane, we oughtta run off to the city.
Diane says
"Baby, you ain't missin' nothing"
Jacky say uh,
Oh
yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh
yeah they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
He walks on.
Don,
John and Fin:
Gonna let it rock, let it roll
Let the
bible belt, come and save my soul
Holdin on to 16 as long as you
can
Changes come around real soon, make us women and men.
Don:
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the
thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah, they say life goes on
Long
after the thrill of livin is gone
Little ditty, about Jack
and Diane
Two American kids doin' best they can
He walks back into his office and shuts the door behind him.
