{I almost forgot: I tend to abbreviate The Man in the Yellow Suit, changing it from that to MitYS. So... don't get confused!}

MitYS: it's water and it's in the wood! Look who has a spring in his step. It's true there's a bounce in each toe. This has-been feels young again, just when he was used to feeling old. Fella, take a look at my suit- yellow has acquired a glow. Fleabags can laugh and joke; these rags will be spinnin' into gold. Golden like the sun, rising in the east; golden with that brand-new day shine- hey! Golden like the years it took to get me here. Soon everything's golden and everything's mine! Soon, I'm gonna be the richest son-of-a-gun there ever was! Who wouldn't pay a fortune for a sip of forever? Nutshell: when the water is mine, don't tell me you wouldn't buy. My merchandise! I'll name the price, and make a killing making sure you will never die. My purpose, my plan, my whole raison d'etre: strike it rich, rule the world, et cetera, et cetera! And of course, become immortal somewhere 'long the way. I'll be-


CARNIES: golden like the sun!


MitYS: oh, golden like my suit. Golden with that brand-new day shine.


CARNIES: brand-new day shine!


MitYS: hey! Golden like the years it took to get me here. Soon-


+CARNIES: everything's golden!


MitYS: and everything's mine! C'mon ladies. One last dance before I make my millions!


CARNIES: everything's golden!


MitYS: golden like the sun!


CARNIES: everything's golden!


MitYS: golden like my suit!


CARNIES: everything's golden!


MitYS: golden with that brand-new day shine!


CARNIES: everything's golden! Everything's golden!


MitYS: golden like the years it took to get me here. Soon everything's golden- say it!


CARNIES: everything's golden!


MitYS: everything's golden! And everything's-


CARNIES: mine!


MitYS: everything's-


CARNIES: mine!


MitYS: everything's mine!
