I Could Get You in JJ (Reprise)

[SIDNEY]
Nobody heard you
Philly never happened
Draw yourself a map
And clean your specs
You’re my secret client
Mister X
Don’t you kinda wanna know who signed the checks?

She said “get ‘em in J.J.”

[SUSAN, spoken]
Sidney...

[SIDNEY]
She said “build ‘em up big”

[DALLAS, spoken]
I’m not your client!

[SIDNEY]
But I did what she wanted
And didn’t you get the gig?

[SUSAN, spoken]
Sidney, why are you doing this?

[SIDNEY]
She said “get ‘em in J.J.”

[SUSAN, spoken]
Dallas?

[SIDNEY]
It’s like “toss ‘em a bone”

[SUSAN, spoken]
Dallas, go get ready

[SIDNEY]
I mean, maybe she thought
You can’t make it on your own

[DALLAS, spoken]
You didn’t think I could make it on my own?!

[SIDNEY]
Give the boy an ovation
Two and two can be tough
Picture me at Penn Station
Susie tuggin’ my cuff
She said “what if you could make him a somebody
Somebody big?”

She said “get ‘em in J.J.”
She says “do it or else”
She said “Dallas is nowhere, give ‘em a lift
Give ‘em a future, give ‘em a gift”

[DALLAS, spoken]
Did you hire Sidney?

[SIDNEY]
“Give ‘em a handout, give ‘em a shift”

[DALLAS, spoken]
Tell me! Susie, look at me!

[SIDNEY]
“Sidney be nimble, Sidney be quick”

[DALLAS, spoken]
Goddammit, look at me!

[J.J., spoken]
Hey!
We’re you raising your voice at my sister?

[DALLAS, spoken]
It’s none o’ your business!

(singing)

Susie, look at me

[J.J., spoken]
Susie none of my business?
That’s news to me

[DALLAS]
Susie, look at me

[SUSAN, spoken]
Dallas, go away from here

[J.J., spoken]
What did you just say?

[SUSAN, spoken]
I said goodbye

[SIDNEY]
The lady says bye bye
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye Dallas
Bye bye blues

[J.J., spoken]
Game called on account of darkness
The lady declines

[SIDNEY]
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye Dallas
Bye bye blues
