OH FILO! - A Song In Five Parts

Sung to “Stranded at the Drive-in” from the musical GREASE


Stranded in a carpark!
Time to write and share,
reached inside my backpack
and you’re not there!

FILO, Where are you?
I left you back at home!
How am I to occupy
an hour on my own?
Must create with washi tape
Some borders on the si-yi-yide
Oh why aren't you here?
Oh FILO

Oh FILO baby
Some day,
When all my work is done,
Some how, 
Some way
Our two worlds will be one
I’ll open you,
Embellish you
and write until I sleep
Oh please, where are you?
Oh FILO!

SPOKEN:
FILO my darlin’
I want you real bad...
you know it true!
And FILO,
Ya gotta believe me when I say....
I’m helpless without you!
I can’t believe
that I would leave
You sitting on the bench!
my red fil-o-fax
called FILO


FILO!
FILO!
Why-yi-yi-yi-yi????

Oh FILO!
