original broadway cast of caroline, or change - a twenty dollar bill and why lyrics

[mr. stopnick]
chanukah gelt, for real, not candy
a twenty dollar bill

[grandma and grandpa gellman]
oh, my

[mr. stopnick]
a twenty dollar bill! and why?
upon what should we contemplate?
allow me please to explicate
what’s the meaning of this gelt?

for peace, sometimes, blood must be spilt
for life, sometimes, a good man dies
what means this money, noah boychik?
you won’t learn this in arithmetic

money follows certain laws
it’s worth how much it’s worth because
somewhere, something’s valued less
it’s how our blessings come, i guess
golden, shiny, but nеver pure
think from whencе your riches stem
think of someone who is poor
and know you stole this gold from them
especially here, in the devil’s south
you rip your gold from a starving man’s mouth
[rose]
oh, for pete’s sake, dad, give him the money!
good
say ‘thank you’, honey

[noah]
thank you

[mr. stopnick]
noah
never forget

[grandma gellman]
stuart, play the clarinet

[rose]
right
a happy, happy chanukah night
what a party, what a goose
fun, huh? noah?
oh, what’s the use?

[dotty, outside]
it’s cold tonight
my feet are numb
i’m tired waiting for a bus that won’t come
