MEREDITH: Show me what you've got.<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Bow deep, kiss hand, pull chair, look bland.<br>

Pour the tea, pass the jam<br>

MEREDITH: Are we clear?<br>

BAT BOY: Yes, ma'am!<br>

<br>

(Bat Boy spills the tea and all dishes go flying. He panics.<br>

Meredith calms him.)<br>

<br>

MEREDITH: I'll show you a thing or two. Don't cry, it's okay, dear.<br>

Rome's not built in a day, dear.<br>

<br>

DR.PARKER: Perhaps I should have a word with the boy. <br>

Let me talk to him over here for a moment!<br>

I'll show you a thing or two. Sure, kid, you feel weary.<br>

Head's all fuzzy and bleary.<br>

I know you're leery. But here's my theory.<br>

Keep sluggin'- that's how it's done.<br>

Soon you're bound to break through!<br>

And whaddaya know, you may-<br>

<br>

SHELLEY: <br>

Mom, Edgar just finished his essay for his high school equivalency exam!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: I will discuss Copernicus who ruined all our fun,<br>

And showed we're just a ball of dust that limps around the sun.<br>

Which brings me then to Darwin, when he bent us out of shape<br>

As he began to prove that man is nephew to an ape.<br>

We were annoyed when Doctor Freud declared it's not a soul,<br>

It is your blind subconsious mind that's always in control.<br>

But I submit that any twit if he had eyes to see,<br>

Can seize his fate; self-educate; and turn out just like me!<br>

<br>

(All Cheer)<br>

<br>

ALL: Shirts, shoes, pants, vest.<br>

Can't go out there underdressed.<br>

Collar pressed, look your best.<br>

And won't they be impressed! 'Cause:<br>

<br>

I'll/He'll show 'em a thing or two!<br>

I was dirty and rowdy (rowdy)<br>

Even dressed a bit dowdy (dowdy)<br>

But now say:<br>

<br>

OTHERS: Howdy!<br>

<br>

ALL: To a summa cum laude!<br>

I'll/He'll show 'em the way it's done!<br>

But no applause I'm/He's not through!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: I'm gonna Vince Van Gogh'em<br>

ALL: And Henry Thoreau'em<br>

BAT BOY: And Plato-<br>
