prologue - andrew rannells & josh gad lyrics

[bud as narrator, spoken]
prologue: lights rise on the squalid, stinky bedroom of a friend of gutenberg’s
[doug as narrator, spoken]
the roof is made of dirty thatch. in the corner, there are rats gnawing on stinky cheese; and, lying absolutely still, in the middle of the room, without moving, is a dead baby

[bud as narrator, spoken]
gutenberg’s friend and a doctor examine the dead baby
[doug as doctor, spoken]
we did all we could
i’m afraid your baby is dead
[bud as friend of gutenberg, spoken]
dead?! but i gave him this medicine!
[doug as doctor, spoken]
them ain’t medicine, thems jelly beans!
[bud as friend of gutenberg, spoken]
jelly beans? but i…
[doug as doctor, spoken]
if only you could read… see ya

[bud as friend of gutenberg]
jelly beans… not medicine?
if only i could read
my son he wouldn’t need…
an elegy…
stupid beans! not medicine!
oh god, here in this jar
i can’t read what these are…
d*mn jelly beans….
[doug as gutenberg, spoken]
h*llo, friend! is there anything johann gutenberg can do?
[bud as friend of gutenberg, spoken]
can you bring a dead baby back to life?
[doug as gutenberg, spoken]
i don’t think so
[bud as friend of gutenberg sobs]

[doug as narrator, spoken]
friend of gutenberg sobs like a woman. he cradles his dead baby in his illiterate arms
blackout
