Act I 

But one night, at the 
Social Club meeting Mary didn't show up... 
She was sucking [bad word] backstage at The Armory 
In order to get a pass To see some big rock group for free... 

Backstage at the local Armory, Mary, in her little white dress, is wiping the remnants of her performance off the side of her mouth as LARRY (the guy from the garage who quit the band in order to make an honest living) zips up the front of his stinking boiler suit and sings to the same teen-age girls who were stomping and clapping a little while ago, as they kneel with their little pink mouths open near the crew bus, hoping to save the price of admission by performing acts of Hooverism on the jolly lads who set up the P.A. System. 

Larry:
Hey Hey Hey all you girls in these
Industrial towns
I know you're prob'ly gettin' tired
Of all the local clowns
They never give you no respect
They never treat you nice
So perhaps you oughta try
little friendly advice
And be a CREW [bad word] Hey, you'll love it
Be a CREW [bad word] It's a way of life
Be a CREW [bad word] See the world
Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus
CREW [bad word] Add water makes its own sauce
Be a CREW [bad word] So you don't forget, call before midnite tonite
The boys in the crew
Are just waiting for you
You never to get move around
You never go nowhere
I know yer prob'ly gettin' tired
Of all the guys out there
You always wondered what it's like
To go from place to place
So, darlin', take a little ride
On the mixer's face
Be a CREW [bad word] Just follow the magic footprints
Be a CREW [bad word] Hey, you'll love it!
Be a CREW [bad word] It's a way of life
I ain't gonna squash it
And you don't need to wash it!
CREW [bad word] Hey, I'll buy you a pizza
CREW [bad word] Of course I'll introduce you to Warren
The boys in the crew
Are only waiting for you 

At this point, the road crew, as all road crews must from time to time, borrow some of the big rock group's equipment and have a blues jam session, indicating to the kneeling maidens that they are endowed with a great deal of raw talent, as well as massive meat. Obviously impressed with LARRY'S ability to suck so hard on his harmonica that screeching little [bad word] out of it, MARY kneels again and reaches upward in gestures of supplication, listening intently as LARRY continues to sing... 

Larry:
Well you been to Alabama, girl,
'N' Georgia too
'N' all the boys in the crew
Is bein' good to you
I know yer sayin' to yourself
'This is the way to go'
'Cause when you need a little extra
They will give you some mo'
`Cause you're the CREW [bad word] 

Mary:
Eh, hah ha, I'm into leather... 

Larry:
That's good! lot of the boys in the crew Love leather... 

Mary: [bad word] .. 

Larry:
Yeh, they [bad word] too...shrink-tubing
With a hair dryer... 

Road Crew [bad word] 
Trade your spot on the bench
For a guy with a wrench
And be a... 

Mary:

Larry:

I told you you'd love it...
It's a way of life!
