Last night I had a dream. I found myself in a desert called Cyberland.
It was hot. My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk.
In Cyberland, we only drink Diet Coke."
She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon"

BACKUPS Leap of faith, leap of faith

Walls ain't so bad.

They were down on their luck I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!"
"The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me.
"A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she asked.
Parched. "Have some milk."
I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder
(MAUREEN makes a slurping, sucking sound.)
And sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted."
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland,
"Climb on board," she said.
We reared back and sprang into a gallop.
Leaping out of orbit! I awoke singing
BACKUPS

Only thing to do
Only thing to do is jump
Only thing to do is jump over the moon

(MAUREEN encourages the audience to moo with her. She says,
Moo with me.
"moos" reach a crescendo, she cuts them off with a big sweep of her
arms.)
"C'mon, sir, moo with me," etc. The audience responds. When the
