"We have one final act for you tonight! Would you please welcome to the stage for his first ever live appearance... Dudley Leicester!" Sam announced.
Dudley didn't come on stage.
Sam turned to Patty and said "Is he coming out?"
Patty shrugged with a worried look on her face.
Sam ran backstage and found Dudley cowering in the corner.
"Dudley. What's wrong? Are you okay?" she said.
"I... I can't move. I'm... I'm terrified" Dudley panted.
"But the audience wants you" said Sam.
"I can't!" Dudley sobbed.
Sam knew how to get him out there.
"Gimme your hand, honey" she said.
Dudley took Sam's hand and she led him to the side of the stage.
"Okay. Deep breath. And remember what I told you. You will not feel afraid anymore if you just start singing" said Sam.
Dudley nervously walked on stage as the others gave him confident looks.
"Uh... okay..." Dudley stuttered shyly.
He turned to Sam with a worried look.
"Sing" Sam whispered with a smile.
Dudley nodded and shyly started to sing.
Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking the things not worth having
But don't you worry bout a thing
Don't you worry bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
Dudley saw Newton in the audience. Newton gave him an encouraging nod while Sam gave him two thumbs up.
Dudley felt more confident now so he continued to sing with much more energy.
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
Just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by a smile then face it
Don't you worry about a thing
Don't you worry bout a thing baby
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
When you get off your trip
Everybody needs a chance
The chance to check out the new
You're the only one who sees
The chances to take yourself through
Don't you worry about a thing
Don't you worry bout a thing
Don't you worry bout a thing
Don't you worry bout a thing
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Don't you worry
Don't you worry bout a thing mama
Cause I'll be standing, I'll be standing
For you
Whoa, whoa
Don't you worry bout a thing
Here's the song Dudley just sang.
