Friday Night

[LAURA, (ALL)]
Chin up
Shoulders back
You're gonna be alright if you just try
Knees bent
Breathe in, relax
Don't think about those jerk-offs driving by
Play each note precisely and slow
Keep your feet in time as you go
I know you're gonna get it right (Gonna get it right)
On Friday night!

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[LAURA, spoken]
Did you hear that, Elliott? I taught him that! Can you believe it?

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Next time, just make sure he gets those sixteenth notes a little crisper

[LAURA, spoken]
Sure thing, Captain. I'll deal with that tonight as his house

[ELLIOTT, spoken}
His house?

[LAURA, spoken]
Yeah! We're just gonna listen to some music

[NATALIA]
Only four more days to go
And we still don't have show
For Friday night

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[SPITZ]
So much music left to learn
Are we gonna crash and burn
On Friday night?

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[LAURA]
Our parents will be watching

[NICOLE]
And the whole school will be, too

[ELLIOTT, (ALL)]
This could be my big redemption
Or our final Waterloo
On Friday night! (On Friday night!)

[LAURA, spoken]
So now, as we crab to the right, you're gonna cross your legs and keep your drum to the front

[JAKE, spoken]
How am I doing, Sensei?

[LAURA, spoken
No... your trailing leg should press against the thigh of your leading leg

[JAKE, spoken]
I like this step. I think we need to put a few more of these in the show

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
I am so sorry for interrupting your work day. I just happen to be, you know, in the mall, and I have these fresh flowers that I—

[NICOLE, spoken]
You should really wipe that down before you sit. Do I smell like chicken?

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Yeah

[NICOLE, spoken]
Bet that's why Clint broke up with me!

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
No, it's highly appealing—uh, I mean—you're highly appealing—I was wondering if I could treat you to some soft-serve ice cream Friday night after the game

[NICOLE, spoken]
Why not? I'll put it on the schedule

[ELLIOTT]
Easy
That's all it took
Wonder why I never asked her out—what was I thinking?
Easy
That's how I make it look
I wanna run across the field and shout
We're like Spidey and Mary Jane
Clark Kent and Lois Lane
She makes me weak like Kryptonite

[LAURA, spoken]
That's right

[JAKE]
Gotta get it right
For Friday night!

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[LAURA]
Is it all up in my head (Ooh-ooh)
Or is there something in his eyes? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When he's around me I get butterflies (Oh-ah)
God, I'm sweating through my shirt (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I forgot to wash my hair (Ooh)
I feel like I look my worst
But he doesn't seem to care (Ooh-ooh-ah)
I really think this could be going somewhere! (Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!)

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Elliott! How was rehearsal today? Spirits high?

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
I guess, but I have to say, I'm really fighting to keep up the morale

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Just keep everyone focused on the work. I finally got Principal Dixon to let me speak at the board meeting

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
You're kidding!

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Yeah, as it turns out, a couple of them are Buckeyes with fond memories of the band

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
No way!

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
And, they'll be at the game this week, so let's make sure "Flight of the Tuba" is pitch perfect. And tell your brother the forecast better be clear skies on Friday night!

[ALVIN & NICOLE]
Only one more day
Till this mess is on display
On Friday night

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[MOLLY]
I think we may be headed
Into high school armageddon
Friday night

[ALL]
Friday night, Friday!
Friday night!

[ELLIOTT, (ALL)]
It's all coming together (Ooh)
This is gonna be the game (Ahh)

[LAURA, (ALL)]
You've been getting so much better! (Ooh)

[JAKE]
Yeah, and you're the girl to blame (Ahh)

[ALL]
Whatever happens, things won't be the same
After Friday night! (Friday night, Friday, Friday night)
Friday night! (Friday night!)
Friday!
