John Kander Wide Open Spaces
Wide Open Spaces
All (sung):
Wide open spaces
Everywhere I look I see
Those wide open spaces
Where the future waits for you and me
It's Kansas forever
And wherever I may roam
I’ll see those wide open spaces
And know that Kansas is home
Jessica (spoken):
Kiss me while you can boys, I’m bidding you …
Randy:
Farewell.
Jessica:
Farewell. I’m bidding you farewell.
I see someone taking aim at this here target.
Randy:
But he can’t win.
There’s already a bullet smack-dab in the middle of the
bulls-eye.
Jessica:
Why he shot that other bullet in half.
Nikki:
No, not quite yet!
Jessica:
Why he shot that other bullet in half.
Randy:
The school-house is saved!
Bambi:
Look! It’s Rob Hood!
Jessica:
I wonder what face belongs to those lips I long to
kiss?
Bobby:
This face!
Nikki:
Why you’re Allen O’Dell! That friendly lawman from the
East I was so crazy about!
I thought you were all done with us?
Bobby:
Not when I finally found myself a home, a place to
where
I belong keeping company with the people I care most
about.
Randy:
You came to us as a stranger, rid this place of crime,
and gave us a new hope in ourselves.
That’s gonna be one tough act to follow!
Bobby:
Well, how’s this—will you be my lawful wedded wife,
Miss Nancy?
Nikki:
Oh, yes I will!
All (sung):
Ding dong, Ding dong
Ding dong, Ding dong
Wide open spaces
Everywhere I look I see
Those wide open spaces
Where the future waits for you and me
Jessica (sung badly):
It’s Kansas forever
All (sung):
And wherever I may roam
I’ll see those wide open spaces
And know that Kansas is home
K-A-N-S-A-S USA!
Bambi (spoken):
Oh my God, she fainted!
Nikki:
Shall I call the doctor?
Johnny:
No, Boston Hospital is just down the block. It’s okay,
she’s got a pulse.
Ronny:
That’s the first time she’s ever kept a beat.
Johnny:
Bobby, Ronny, can you help carry her?
Bobby:
Why not? I’ve been carrying her all night!
