(scene: the clocktower.  The sky is lightening slowly, and the guys watch 
the horizon.  Suddenly, a beam of green light streams from the sky, 
splits, and hits each of them on the forehead except BRONX.  Magic is afoot.)

GOLIATH (jumping onto his perch):  Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!
	Daylight come, and me gotta turn stone.

(the trio leap onto the ledge as well, LEX in front, then BROOKLYN, then 
BROADWAY.  HUDSON moves to stand in front of the four.)

ALL: 	Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!
	Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

GOLIATH: Come, Mr. Eisner, don't cancel my good program.

TRIO and HUDSON: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone!

GOLIATH (bends on one knee): Come, Mr. Eisner, don't cancel my good program.

TRIO and HUDSON: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

GOLIATH: Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!

ALL: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

GOLIATH: Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!

ALL: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone!

(TRIO begin to walk like Egyptians back and forth across ledge; HUDSON  
moves his arms from side to side)

GOLIATH: Can you get the inside references?

TRIO and HUDSON: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

GOLIATH: Get hit over the head with moral messages?

TRIO and HUDSON: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

(ELISA walks out of the tower, sees them singing, and stops dead in her 
tracks)

GOLIATH: Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!

ALL: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone.

GOLIATH: Day-o!  Daaaaaay-o!

ALL: Daylight come and we gotta turn stone!

ALL:	6 foot (LEX jumps down)
	7 foot (BROOKLYN jumps down)
	8 foot (BROADWAY jumps down)
	Bronx!  (BRONX howls)

ALL:	6 foot (HUDSON pats LEX onna head)
	7 foot (HUDSON pats BROOKLYN onna head)
	8 foot (HUDSON pats BROADWAY onna head)
	Bronx! (HUDSON goes to pat BRONX.  BRONX growls.)

	Daylight come and we gotta turn stone!

GOLIATH (really getting into it):  DAY-O!  DAAAAAAAY-O!

ALL:  (TRIO and HUDSON now in barbershop quartet fashion, w/ LEX kneeling 
in front.  BRONX slinks to corner to watch.)
	Daylight come and we gotta turn stone!

ALL:  	DAY-O!  DAAAAAAAAAAAY-O!
	(slowly now)  Daylight come, and we gotta turn stone.


(As the song ends, the guys begin to shake their heads, as if coming out 
of a trance.  ELISA waits until they notice her.)

GOLIATH:  Oh, hello Elisa.

ELISA: (looking at each of them in turn, her gaze finally settling on 
GOLIATH)  That's it.  You guys are switching to decaf.  (turns around and 
walks back into the tower as the sun rises)
