Montague Pace-Egging PLAY

(adapted by Will Quale,
performed by the Montague Mummers, Easter 2020)

JUSTICE GINSBURG

	Room, room, brave gallants all,
	'Tis but once a year I call!
	In comes I, Ruth Bader G.  Hard times or not,
	I know RBG will never be forgot.
	But if you don't believe what I say,
	Enter Senator Liz and clear the way.

ELIZABETH WARREN (brandishing a Plan)

	In comes I, Senator Liz, with my detailed plan,
	Whatever strikes me down, nevertheless persist I can!
	It was I who fought the Bloomberg and left him in a stupor
	And I will carry on the fight, even after Tuesday Super.

CORONAVIRUS

	In comes I, the evil COVID-19,
	With bold Elizabeth I'll fight unseen!
	From a simple cough, to her I'll fly
	And send her to Jamaica to make mince pies!

ALL (except Virus)

	Mince pies hot, mince pies cold,
	He'll send her to the devil till she's nine days old.

ELIZABETH

	Here I walk and here I stand
	Here I take my plan in hand.

[THEY FIGHT.  ELIZABETH FALLS.]

JUSTICE GINSBURG

	Horrible, terrible, see what you've done!
	You've cut her down like the evening sun!
	Is there a doctor to be found
	To cure her of her deep and deadly wound?

DOCTOR FAUCI (carrying Ventilator)

	Yes, there's a doctor to be found
	To cure her of her deep and deadly wound.
	For any kind of ailment, from the smallest little ouch-ie
	To a worldwide pandemic, I'm your doctor, Doctor Fauci!

JUSTICE GINSBURG

	How came you to be a doctor?

DOCTOR FAUCI

	I've traveled for it.

JUSTICE GINSBURG

	And where have you travelled?

DOCTOR FAUCI

	Italy, Spitaly, France and Spain,
	Nine times round the world and back again.

JUSTICE GINSBURG

	What can you cure?

DOCTOR FAUCI

	The itch, the stitch, the palsy, gout,
	Virus within and virus without.

DOCTOR (looking at Elizabeth from a safe distance)

	Take a breath from my special ventilators
	Which sends you air from a safe two meters!
	Although you were dead, although you were slain,
	Rise up like the Sun, and live again!

ALL SING Montague Pace-Egging Song
