lyrics

(Tessie) Rips the mic off the stand and approaches Summers. Villagers look confused.
I saw you Summers, you didn’t give him enough time to draw
And I know you’re a man of honor, but you rushed him, truly, I saw, we all saw
I swear! It isn’t fair! Doesn’t anyone care?
Can’t we start it over and do this right?

(Bill) grab’s Tessie;s shoulder and brings her back to the family.
Shut up Tessie!

(Summers)
Hutchinsons are all accounted for, is that confirmed Bill?

(Bill)
Yes

(Summers)
Do you have any other households to declare?

(Tessie)
Yes! There’s Don and Eva! We should make them take their chance! It’s only fair!

(Summers)
You know that daughters draw with their husband’s families Tessie, you of all people should know

(Tessie)
(Gasps) It wasn’t fair! It wasn’t fair!

(Summers)
It’s as fair as can be, mam
-Villagers pulsing heads on beat
(Summers)
OK Bill, looks like it falls on you to draw

(Bill)
(Sigh)

(Summers)
How many kids you got?

(Bill)
3 kids, Bill Jr. Little Dave, and Nancy
