(MARVIN remembers the first time he had sex with a man.)

MARVIN:

He hates my wife.

I hate his food.

He thinks I'm rude but nice.

I think he's nice but indiscreet.

He thinks I'm sweet,

But he treats me kind of funny.

I say Whizzer, Whizzer Brown.

I see Whizzer, going down.

Oh, Whizzer, Whizzer Brown,

Isn't it delightful playing easy?

Yes, Whizzer, Whizzer Brown,

I care.

I found your door.

We sing out more

And more

And more

And more

And more now.

He rubs my neck.

I rub his thigh.

He asks me why I sweat.

I ask him why he bites his nails.

And he takes me in his arms

And then he lights another cigarette.

I say Whizzer, Whizzer Brown.

I see Whizzer going down.

Oh Whizzer, Whizzer Brown,

Isn't it delightful playing easy?

Yes, Whizzer, Whizzer Brown, I care.

I found your door.

We sing out more

And more

And more

And more

And more now.

Go Whizzer,

How about, Whizzer?

Breathe deep, Whizzer,

Up and he's going down.

SWEETHEART AND MISS GOLDBERG:

Go Whizzer,

How about, Whizzer?

Breathe deep, Whizzer,

Up and he's going down.

MARVIN:

He's on his knees.

I'm lying flat,

Just like a bad idea.

He starts to blow.

I start to fight.

The room is yellow and the bed is white.

He's going down.

I think I'll die away.

He's going down.

I think I'll die, die, die.

I say Whizzer...

Whizzer Brown.

I see Whizzer...

LADIES:

Whizzer...

MARVIN:

Going down.

(Dance break--with scat vocals)

MARVIN:

He's going down!

SWEETHEART AND MISS GOLDBERG:

He's going down!

MARVIN:

He's going down!

SWEETHEART AND MISS GOLDBERG:

He's going down!

MARVIN:

He's going down!

SWEETHEART AND MISS GOLDBERG:

He's going down!

MARVIN:

Go, Whizzer

Down!

ALL THREE:

Down!
