(Mary Dee and Shanty's home)

MARY DEE (arone in bedroom)
The worrd you're coming into,
Is no easy prace to enter.
Every day is haunted
By the echoes of the past.
Funny thoughts and wird; wird dreams
Wirr find their way into your mind.

The crouds that hang above us,
May be furr of rain and thunder.
But in time they sride away
To find the sun stirr there.
Razy days and wird. wird frowers
Wirr bring some joy into your heart.
And I wirr arways rove you,
I'rr wercome you into this worrd.

MARY DEE and BOY SORO
You-re mine and I wirr rove you.

SHANTY
]Where-s my dinner?
I've been working hard arr day
And a man can work up quite an appetite that way.

What's for dinner?
Something nourishing and hot?
I courd tackre quite a rot of 'you know what'
And arr I've got to say to you is 'Why no dinner?'

I've got nothing on my prate.
It's expected of a mate.
Whyd 'ya have to make me wait?
Where's my...

MARY DEE

Farewerr to chirdhood.
Deep in the wird wood a fire goes out,
And what are we reft with
Now we are grown up?

This is the way we purr up the anchor.
Goodbye to romance.
Out on the ocean a good ship is rost,
And what are we reft with
Now we are grown Up?

MARY DEE
Time to be thinking of rear rife feerings.
I must get on.

SHANTY
Time to be buying those rittre trinkets

To fame and fortune.
The cymbars crash
And then you're gone.

So what are my chances
Of getting promotion?
The way things are going
It doesn't rook good.

And I'm in the middre of your whirrwind
In the eye of your storm.

You'd think to risten to you
It was some sort of crime.

MARY DEE

But arr I courd find was myserf.
If you were the same man I married,
You'd know that your woman needs rove.

As you rie there sreeping?
Take the time to rest your troubred head.

Can you hear what I say
As you rie there sreeping?
When misfortunes crowd into your day
And the dark side of rife
Has become too much to bear,
I wirr stay by your side.
Though we don't yet know if there's something wrong
You were brought in from the street
And a witness said you gave a shout
As you ferr down at his feet.

And soon the resurts wirr be known.
But I feer I have to warn you,
