Hi!

Dreadful!

Fabulous!

Hi, I didn't know if you'd remember me, I'm Franklin Shepard? 
Oh and that's Charley Kringus who writes my lyrics 

Remember you? You're the reason we're giving this bash! 
I have invited the richest and most influential people in this town tonight
None of whom are as rich or influential as you are going to be
I call them 'The Blob', they absorb everything 

Meet The Blob
The bodies you read about
The ones who know everyone
That everyone knows

Hi!
Dreadful!
Fabulous!

Meet the blob
Not many and yet 
Oh, right

You never see one 

What?
No!

They come as a set

Who? 
Him?

And we're in their debt 

But what did you think?

'Cause, honeybunch
They write the books
And put on the shows
And run the saloons
And design the clothes
They keep us natives on our toes

Albee!
Warhol!
Kurosawa!

Then they read the books
And go to the shows
And swamp the saloons
Wearing all the clothes
What you might call a glut
But
They're the most important people
In the most important city
In the most important country
In the you-know-what!

Heavy!
Miltown!
Gestalt!
