Act II Scene I

MacArthur Park

Dunkin Donuts:

With gracious favour I voice my hello

Say! is that my hit song Mello Yello?

My heart it does cause to sizzle and spark

Welcome my liege to MacArthur Park

Your Castle welcomes me I do not doubt it

Mayhap someone will someday sing all about it

Our hospitality, let it be yours to take

I knew you were coming, so I baked a cake

But alas I do not think I can take it

for you know it took so long to bake it

Dear wife, say you didn't leave it out in the rain

Dear Heart, I fear I'll never have that recipie again

My liege, try my apple pie baked on coal fires

they're good till 2:30 before they expires

You should open a restaurant with this noble fare

it should be the only dessert you serve there

Krocville in the East where the golden sun rises

Is where I envision my first new franchises

Listen Dear wife, this is not what I planned

Krocville is where I wish to build my Graceland

Then here is the thing that ambition must do

You must kill off the King and then cry boo-hoo

While everyone mourns we'll make off with the loot

Now go cut yourself out a red Grinchy Claus suit

My lady what is our host off to do?

I believe he has a surprise for you

Speaking of surprises, it made my heart still

when I saw you show up in this month's Playbill

In the kingdom I hear it raised quite a stink

What dear girl did your poor father think?

My father and I then had a great row

but I suppose he has forgotten it now

His mind is all twisted irreversibly bent

just yesterday he thought he was the president
