Bueala Davis 

September 11th, 2001. Any available community buildings will be converted into shelters. 

With thousands of passengers arriving at any minute, 

The town is asking for help with... well anything you can do! 

(Sung) 

Girl 2 

Cristal I saw on the news there lookin' for blankets and bedding and maybe some food! 

Girl 3 

Do you know what they need and how much? 

Girl 4 

I need something to do, 

All Girls 

Cuz I can't watch the news anymore 

Girl 5 

Can I help? Is there something I need to do, 

something to keep me from thinking of all the scenes on the toob 

Girl 4 

I need something to do cuz I can't watch the news 

All Girls 

No, I can't watch the new anymore. 

In the winter from the water in the wind. If a stranger ends up at your door. 

Bueala Davis 

You get on a horn. 

(Spoken) 

Hello this is Bueala Davis down at the academy, 

and I herd we might be getting some... guests. 

Thought I could help whoever is in charge of getting a school organized. 

How many passages can we take? Oh well we fit about 400 students -- 

yes can probably do 600 -- yah or sure 700... if we really hack them in. 

When are they commin'? Could be any time now, well I'm glad I phoned! 

(Change in Music) 

Boy 1 

I get a call from Bueala looking for anything 700 people from around the world might need, 

so I go down to Shaperns and the manager says to take what I want off the shelves, 

toothbrushes, floss, mouthwash, deodorant and I'm back at the school where Buelala says... 

Bueala Davis 

Ya know those plans probably got some babies on 'em.? 

Boy 

So I'm back to Shaperns for diapers and were unpacking them when Annette says... 

Annette 

Ya know those babies will probably gonna be hungry...? 

Boy 

So I'm back to Shaperns for formula and baby food and when I get back Buelala says... 

Bueala Davis 

Ya know those planes probably filled with women of child-bear and age...? 

Boy 

So... 

Bueala Davis 

So... I'm back to Shaperns to pick up as many pads and tampons as they have! 

(Change in Music) 

Girl 1 

The Baptist Church needs a hand movin' their pews. 

Dr. O'Brian down at the pharmacy has agreed to fill any prescriptions. 

Oh! and the Lions Club is looking for some toilet paper, if ya have any extra. 

Girl 2

All Girls 

Jackets our kids grew out of last summer. 

Girl 1 

And down at the station, were taking donations out by the door. 

All Girls 

Holy Jesus theres more! 

Girl 2 

It's better than being at home alone wondering whats really happening 

Girl 3 

Everyones phoning! 

Girls 2, 3, 4 

Were setting up rooms in the schools... 

Girl 5 

And crying all afternoon wondering what could be done! 

All Guys 

What do we need? 

Girl 3- 

I made a tray of sandwiches 

Girl 4 

We need 50 more 

Girl 3 

Sandwiches? 

Girl 4 

Trays! 

All Guys 

What do we need? 

Guy 2 

200 gym mats, is that enough? 

Girl 2 

Are you telling me, and we'll both know! 

All Guys 

What do we need? 

Girl 3 

For the love of God! Stop bringing toilet paper to the Lion's Club! 

All Guys 

How do you know what you need, when you don't know how many your needing to feed. 

When you don't know how many are staying, how long they are staying. 

We better start praying the weather stays nice! 

(A Musical Round) 

Some Girls 

In the winter from the water, in the wind 

Some Girls 

In the winter from the water, in the wind 

Some Guys 

In the winter from the water, in the wind 

Some Guys 

In the winter from the water, in the wind 

Some Girls 

If a stranger ends up sent by fate! 

(Spoken) 

Girl 2 

Are we gonna be ready? 

Bueala Davis 

We'll we have to be!
