Nuggets this thick!

[WILSON & MAMA]
Gold!

[PROSPECTOR]
Gold!
Got to Dawson City, boy—
It isn't very pretty
But it's get rich quick!

Found me a mother lode
Warn't no trick!
Wanna find another lode?
Dig in any mountain
Pan in any crick!
Grab yourself a bucket
And a shovel and a pick
And with a little bit of luck it
Means you...

[COMPANY]
Get rich quick!...

[MAMA, spoken]
"Gold rush in the Yukon!"

[WILSON, spoken]
"Richest strike since Sutter's Mill!"

[ADDISON, spoken]
Boy, oh, boy, if Papa was alive—

[MAMA, spoken]
He isn't

[WILSON, spoken]
Let's go!

[ADDISON, spoken]
Where? To Alaska?

[MAMA, sung]
Haven't you been listening?
Gold!
Sitting there and glistening!
Gold just
Lying around!
Gold dust
Glittering and littering the goddamn ground!

[ADDISON, spoken]
But in Alaska? Way up in Alaska?

[WILSON, sung]
Oh, come one, Addie
The two of us together!—
What fun!

[ADDISON, spoken]
But, what about Mama? We can't just leave her here

[MAMA, spoken]
Why not?!

[WILSON]
You and me against the world, Addie
You and me against the world!
You and me together
Weathering the weather
Fording the crevasses—

[ADDISON]
Freezing off our asses—

[WILSON]
We'll never make our fortune
Just by sitting on the porch 'n'
Looking wistful
When there are nuggets by the fistful...

[MAMA]
(spoken)
Nuggets by the fistful!

(sung)
Time to leave the nest
Time to venture forth

[WILSON & MAMA]
Can't go further west
Might as well go north
Where there's all that—

[ADDISON, spoken]
Cold

[WILSON & MAMA]
Gold!

[ADDISON, spoken]
I don't know...

[MAMA]
"Grab the oppurtunity!"

[ADDISON, spoken]
How would we even get there?

[MAMA]
That's what Papa said

[ADDISON, spoken]
The whole thing might be over by the time—

[MAMA]
"Grab the oppurtunity
And take the road ahead!"

[ADDISON, spoken]
I don't think he meant any oppor—

[MAMA]
Never be content with what you are
But think of what you can become!

[WILSON]
(spoken)
Listen to Mama. She knows best

(sung)
Not to grab the chance
Wouldn't that be dumb?

[MAMA]
Papa said to grab
And the world's your plum!

[WILSON, spoken]
Did he? I suppose so, in a way...

[MAMA, spoken]
Your papa said you'd find your road and here it is

[WILSON, spoken]
The road to riches!

[COMPANY]
Gold!

[ADDISON, spoken]
I'm not sure he was talking about riches, Willie-

[COMPANY]

[WILSON, spoken]
Not only riches! Enterprise! Adventure!

[COMPANY]
Gold! Gold!

[ADDISON, spoken]
Alaska...

Come on! I can't go without you. We're a team!

[COMAPANY]

[ADDISON, spoken]
A team. We would be, wouldn't we?

[COMPANY]
Gold! Gold!

[WILSON, spoken]
You bet we would—

[ADDISON, spoken]
Okay, we'll do it! Me and you!

[WILSON, sung]
A century's beginning—
Gold will make it tick!
A century of enterprise
For you and me to lick!
Papa made it clear
The oppurtunity is here
And if to be a pioneer
Means that you get rich quick
So-?

[MAMA, (WILSON), ADDISON, COMPANY]
A century's beginning
Gold will make it tick!
A century of enterprise (You and me against)
For both of you to lick (The world, Addie!)
That's what Papa meant—you're (You and me against)
Going off on an adventure (The world!)
Just a shovel and a tent, you're (You and me together) A shovel and a tent The century's beginning
Off and enetering the century— (Weathering the weather— ) We're off and entering the century— Gold will make it tick!
