Just like I promised, everyone’s favorite – the Cakewalk! (MINSTREL MARCH.) Gentlemen, be seated! (The BOYS don’t listen to him.) Gentlemen! Be seated! (The BOYS begin to back away.) Be seated! Gentlemen!! Be seated!! BUS DRIVER (INTERLOCUTOR) Lady, you can’t sit there. Move to the back of the bus. Colored in the back of the bus. Move to the back. THE LADY No. Not no more. I’m gonna sit here and rest my feet. [Thanks to Garrett for lyrics]
