SHIPLEY

DO YOU REMEMBER GETTING READY
FOR THE ANNUAL SPAGHETTI BENEFIT,
IN 1969?
YOU AND I , PUT IN CHARGE
OF THE ANNUAL SPAGHETTI BENEFIT,
AND WE BOTH HAD TOO MUCH WINE.
WE STARTED FLIPPIN’ FROZEN MEATBALLS
‘CROSS THE FLOOR,
WE WERE YOUNG AND WE WERE HUNGRY
WHO COULD ASK FOR ANY MORE?

SISTER GEORGE MICHAEL

YES, I REMEMBER ACTING SILLY
AT THE ANNUAL SPAGHETTI BENEFIT
IN 1969.
IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY
ANNUAL SPAGHETTI BENEFIT,
WHERE NO ONE CAME TO DINE.
PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER
TO SUPPORT A WINNING TEAM.
A TEAM THAT WAS DESTINED TO LIVE
THE FIELD HOCKEY DREAM.

SHIPLEY

THAT WAS THE YEAR
WE DIDN’T WE HAD IT ALMOST ALL,
WE COULDN’T NOT ALTHOUGH
ALMOST ALL-
THEN WE TOSSED IT!

SISTER GEORGE MICHAEL

THAT WAS THE YEAR,
YOU TOOK THAT FATAL FALL.

SISTER GEORGE MICHAEL & SHIPLEY

WE NEARLY BUT HOW COULD WE
NEVER BUT NOW HAD WE LOST IT.

SHIPLEY

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THE PLAYERS IN OUR PAST?
ARE THEY SOMEWHERE
ON A GOLF COURSE?
ARE THEY SITTING BY THE POOL?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
THE GALS WITH ALL THE GUTS?
THE WOMEN WE PLAYED
HOCKEY WITH AT SCHOOL.

SISTER GEORGE MICHAEL

WELL, LINDSEY FOUND A LAWYER,
AND THEY’VE GOT A PLACE IN GREENWICH.
BUCKY FOUND A LAWYER,
AND THEY’VE GOT A PLACE IN GREENWICH.
MUFFY’S GOT A LAWYER,
AND THEY FOUND A LITTLE PLACE
IN GREENWICH VILLAGE!


SHIPLEY
WITH EVERY SEASON PASSING BY,
I WANT TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY.
REDEEM MYSELF BEFORE I DIE.
SISTER, HEAR MY DESPERATE CRY!

THIS IS THE YEAR
WE’LL MAKE IT TO WHERE
WE CAN’T RECALL,

SR GEORGE MICHAEL & SHIPLEY

AND NOT IF WE COULD
BUT THEN, WHAT IF WE WOULD
FOREVER?
THIS IS THE YEAR,
WE’LL TRIUMPH AFTER ALL,
AND WE’LL TAKE TO WHERE
WE NEVER WERE THERE-
TOGETHER.

SHIPLEY
Wouldn’t it give you a warm feeling to give another orphan girl the same chance you had?

SR GEORGE MICHAEL
Yes, it would. And I have the perfect candidate.

SHIPLEY
Bless you, Sister.

SR GEORGE MICHAEL & SHIPLEY

AND WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE
THE ANNUAL SPAGHETTI BENEFIT,
OF 1969!
