#1 OPENING
#2 ENRICO FERMI HIGH
TOFFEE AND GIRLS
WAKE UP EV'RY MORNING,
SO MUCH STUFF TO LEARN.
HISTORIES OF THIS AND THAT,
LATIN VERBS AND HABITAT,
PRINCIPLES OF BACON FAT.
THE TIME
FLIES BY.
TOFFEE
IT'S ANOTHER DAY.
TOFFEE AND GIRLS
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY
AT ENRICO FERMI HIGH.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY....
JONNY AND BOYS
WAKE UP EV'RY MORNING.
GET THOSE WHEELS TO TURN.
STRATEGIES FROM FOREIGN WARS,
ALGEBRA AND BASEBALL SCORES,
PI-R-SQUARED,
AND TWO-BY-FOURS.
THE HOURS
ROLL BY.
JONNY
IT'S ANOTHER DAY.
JONNY AND BOYS
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY
AT ENRICO FERMI HIGH.
CANDY
Physics exam today, Toffee.
TOFFEE
I know, Candy.
CANDY
I was so worried last night, I chewed my nails raw. Wanna see?
GINGER, TOFFEE and COCO
No!
COCO
Hey, Toffee, I saw Chuck last night at Burger in a Basket. With Sheila.
CANDY
Sheila?
COCO
You know...Sheila. Too much make-up, not enough underwear...?
CANDY & TOFFEE
Ah!
GINGER
Now, ladies, do you really think this is appropriate conversation for school?
CANDY
Does that bother you, Toffee? About Chuck I mean?
TOFFEE
No, that's OK. We weren't serious. I mean it wasn't real love.
GINGER
What's real love like?
TOFFEE
I don't know yet. But I'll tell you when I get there.
KIDS
WAKE UP EV'RY MORNING,
START THE DAY'S ROUTINE.
STUDENT COUNCIL, TEACHER'S PETS,
MARCHING BANDS WITH CLARINETS,
MINOR KEYS AND MAJOR-ETTES.
ANOTHER DAY,
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY
AT ENRICO FERMI HIGH....
MISS STRICT
(entering)
Mr. Warner. I couldn't help noticing that the name on your jacket
is missing a letter.
JONNY
I know, Miss Strict. I'm spelling it without the "H" now. "Jon
without an H Warner."
MISS STRICT
Do you really think that's wise? Defiling a good Christian name like
that? No, no. Change it back, Johnny.
JONNY
I...I think I want to keep the "H" out.
KIDS
Oooooh.
MISS STRICT
Well, if that's your decision... Just know I don't stand for hoodlums
around here. That's "Hoodlums," Jonny. With an H! Get
to class, everyone!
JAKE
(as MISS STRICT exits.)
Whoa! You are so...different.
REBEL WITHOUT AN H!
JAKE, JONNY AND KIDS
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
REBEL WITHOUT AN H!
ALL
WAKE UP EV'RY MORNING,
FACE THAT AGE OLD SCENE.
CROSSING GUARDS AND HALLWAYS PESTS,
SLOPPY JOES AND ENGLISH TESTS,
GIRLS
SADDLE SHOES,
BOYS
AND PADDED CHESTS!
GIRLS
ANOTHER DAY...
BOYS
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY.
GIRLS
IT'S AN ANOTHER DAY...
ALL
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY,
AT ENRICO FERMI....
(An wailing siren is heard. The KIDS scramble to take
cover. JONNY, heading under one table bumps into TOFFEE.)
