Get Closer

The music begins. A blues song, dripping with strings. He takes her hand again and puts one arm around her waist, drawing her to him. Suddenly, as she moves into his, arms, the awkwardness between them vanishes. They dance.

MARGE
I’ve waited a long long while for us to get started
I’ve got a list of things that I want to do.
I know you’re scared and shy,
But don’t leave me broken-hearted
Daddy, let me get closer to you.

Since I first saw your lips, that’s where I’ve been headin’.
I’ve had so many dreams that you never knew.
Now we’re alone at last;
Let’s not wait for armageddon!
Daddy, let me get closer to you.
I can be cool and calm or dominating.
I can be anything you want me to,
But let it start tonight,
‘Cause i’m ready and i’m waiting –
Daddy, let me get closer to you.
