[“the rape of miss goldberg”]
[sweetheart, spoken]
the rape of miss goldberg by marvin
scene one
[marvin]
hi, miss goldberg at your desk
my name’s marvin, we’re alone at last
i turned fourteen just today
and i thought, for a not unseemly price
you’d introduce me to the wonders of the bed
and also treat me nice
i’m the boy who throws the fits
he who puts the chalk inside his ear
do you know me from a hole in the wall?
marvin’s cute, though rarely good
but, dearest, please accept my hand
miss goldberg who
is perfect womanhood
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene two
[teacher]
why should marvin jump on miss goldberg?
why does marvin dump on miss goldberg?
i knew
when i first i first looked in his eyes
[marvin]
i like your eyes, miss goldberg
[teacher]
lies!
he has never seen my face!
[marvin]
i have never seen your eyes
[teacher]
i was never out of place
i taught
[marvin]
that’s true, she minded her business
she taught
[teacher]
i taught and minded my business
[marvin, spoken]
but the business at hand…
[teacher]
keep your hands off my eyes
[marvin, spoken]
but the business at hand is…
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene three
[marvin]
i always liked the way you wore your gl-sses
in and out of cl-sses
i always liked the way you got angry in your gl-sses
that’s cool, miss goldberg
i always thought those gl-sses hid your p-ssion
that’s miss goldberg’s fashion, i said
now it’s my birthday and here’s my surprise
i’m gonna see your eyes, miss goldberg
i’m gonna see your eyes, my darling
[teacher]
don’t touch my godd-mn eyes
you little sh-t
i’ll throw a fit
i’ll beat your head in with a hammer
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene four
[teacher]
my eyes are my eyes
your hands are your hands
just keep your dirty fingers away from my face, kid
that’s the only thing miss goldberg demands
[marvin, spoken]
now move
(she doesn’t.)
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene five
[marvin, spoken]
now move!
(she does.)
(sung)
listen, i’m a b-st-rd b-mmer with a p-n-s
and i mean us two to be together
teacher, yes i do, i do, i
mean us two to screw together
me together, you together
miss goldberg?
[teacher, spoken]
what?
[marvin]
miss goldberg?
[teacher, spoken]
what?
[marvin]
make marvin a happy boy
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene six
[teacher, spoken]
one, two, three, four
[teacher]
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg?
what does marvin want from miss goldberg? [marvin]
miss goldberg, miss goldberg, miss goldberg, miss goldberg
please, please, please, rub your hands between
your hands between my knees
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
miss goldberg, miss goldberg, miss goldberg, miss goldberg
please, please, please, please
please
[sweetheart, spoken]
scene seven
[marvin]
marvin always gets the things he wants
he gets the things he wants
marvin always gets the things he wants
he gets the things
he gets the things [teacher]
except the things he wants
marvin always gets the
things he wants, except the things he wants
except the things
except the things
[marvin & teacher]
he…
(miraculously, marvin is seen wearing miss goldberg’s gl-sses. he hands the gl-sses back to her; she puts them on.)
[marvin, spoken]
do you want my telephone number?
[sweetheart, spoken]
