original broadway cast of caroline, or change - stuart and noah lyrics

[rose]
please, caroline
keep the change

[stuart]
noah, you’re nine years old

[noah]
no, i’m not, i’m eight

[stuart]
eight? only eight?
but you’re in fourth grade now

[noah]
no, i’m in third

[stuart]
really? you’re sure?
isn’t that weird
it’s like a whole year just
i don’t know
just disappeared
oh…
i have to get back to the clarinet
practice the cello
[noah]
i gave up the cello, dad

[stuart]
oh, right
you did
i remember
you’re a funny kid
your mother loved the cello

[noah]
can i go?

[stuart]
it’s time that you should demonstrate
more responsibility
help rose with the groceries
that kind of thing
in return i’m giving you
a dollar fifty every week
allowance
you can use it as you like but i+

[noah]
buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!
[stuart]
i hope you’ll save it ’til you’re older
buy yourself a chemistry set

[noah]
bubblegum
cigarettes
sea monkeys
comic books
barbie doll dresses on the sly!
buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!

[stuart]
that’s what i wanted back when i was a boy
a great big shiny chemistry set

[caroline]
there’s almost a dollar some weeks
in the bleach cup
my kids could go down to the dime store and get
the shiny junk they make to catch a kid’s eye
and what they sees and what they wants
they could buy
stuff i can’t buy ’em now
always in the lurch
some weeks i could even tithe at church
[stuart]
a great big shiny chemistry set
with test tubes, a spirit lamp, powders, and flame
do you want a chemistry set?

[noah]
no

[stuart]
oh
well, that’s a shame
it’s your money, noah
so please keep in mind

[rose]
caroline keeps what caroline finds

[noah]
that night i leave a dime and a nickel
in my pants pocket
to see what would happen
caroline finds them

[caroline]
they go in the bleach cup

[noah]
they sit there all week
fifteen cents, fifteen cents
five jawbreakers
a big bag of red hots
a daredevil comic book
fifteen cents!

[caroline (with noah)]
they sit there all week
fifteen cents, fifteen cents
a bag of sugary things
stain the mouth orange
stain the t++th green
that upset the stomach

a grown woman got no business
taking pennies from a baby
