CEC Future

Chuck:

I read in a book about the way the future would look and the future looks fun to me.

Pasqually:

and fun is fun!

Chuck:

There’ll be more time for pleasure and since leisure is a Chuck E. treasure. The future looks fun to me. I’ve got no crystal ball, just a really strong hunch that I’ll be having a great time if I stick

with this bunch

Munch:

Always welcome

Chuck:

I greet each tomorrow with a jocularity ‘cause the future looks fun to me

Pasqually:

Popularity and such vocabularity. Maybe travel in space will become quite commonplace and that looks like fun to me. Yes it does

Jasper:

Lots of movies coming ‘round and since I’m a movie hound, the future looks fun to me

Munch:

Well there’s guys as smart as Einstein who do nothing all day

Helen:

But sit around and dream of better games for us to play

All:

And since having a good time is a priority, the future looks fun to me

Kids:

Hey, we’re all kids now, what’s the future gonna look like anyhow?

Chuck:

Oh the future will be fun for you, don’t you think?

Helen:

Yes I do

Munch:

Yes I do

Pasqually::

Yes I do

Jasper:

Thank you!

Kids:

Even if we grow up, Mr. Cheese may we show up?

Chuck:

Now that sounds like fun to me

Helen:

Oh, me too

All:

The band and I couldn’t care if you’re one hundred and one. We like kids of any age who like having fun. We’re proud to be purveyors of gladness and glee, so the future looks fun to me

Helen:

Wait!

Chuck:

What is it, Helen?

Helen

Isn’t the future gonna be high tech?

Jasper:

Yeah, it’ll be real e-lectronic

Munch:

I think it’ll be techno…techno…

Helen:

Tec- no-rific!

All:

That’s it! Tec- no-rific!

Pasqually::

Here’s a little fact that amazes me, I can wash the dishes while I’m watching TV. They microwave my food without heating the oven, I’ve got a food process that I’m really loving. My ‘fridgerator is fridgerific. Kitchen appliances are Tec- no-rific

All:

Tec- no-rific

Pasqually:

Modern life is divine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Pasqually::

And the future’s looking fine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Pasqually::

To be more specific the world we’re living in is Tec- no-rific

Munch:

To stay in shape I used to jog around the block, that’s not the way of the modern day jog. They got machines that put the hurt in every muscle. You stay in shape with just a little bit of hustle. These new machines make your tuzzle look terrific. Better get me some Tec- no-rific

All:

Tec- no-rific

Munch:

Modern life is divine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Munch:

And the future’s looking fine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Munch:

To be more specific the world we’re living in is Tec- no-rific

Chuck:

My home computer boasts 64k. That’s more than Voyager 1 by the way. My modem hookup gives me mucho information. I’m out on top of the computer situation. These computers make me feel very scientific upon a modern life that’s Tec- no-rific

All:

Tec- no-rific

Chuck:

Modern life is divine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Chuck:

And the future’s looking fine

All:

Tec- no-rific

Chuck:

To be more specific the world we’re living in is Tec- no-rific. We’ve had a Tec- no-rific time. Alright, who’s the wise guy? Oh well, while we go figure this one out we’re gonna take a break. But we’ll be back in a bit

Chuck

Yo, Pasqually

Pasqually:

Yo

Chuck

Lay down a beat right about here. Yeah, now check this out. The band is gonna be the DJ’s and we’re gonna let all the kids tell us what they’re gonna he when they grow up

Jasper:

I’m not sure I know how to do the DJ part

All:

Yeah

Chuck

Come on, it’s a piece of cheese. Yo Taylor and Maggie please step up to that mic and tell us when you start to work what your job is gonna be like

Maggie:

Supersonic travel sure appeals to me. I’ll be a super cool supersonic pilot, you see

Taylor:

I’m gonna make my mark in the computer game. When IBM needs help they’ll be calling my name

All:

Sit across beyond the stars and fly there on a dream. They said you couldn’t go that far

Kids:

There’s nothing you can’t do if you decide you want to

Helen: Hunter and Conita it’s your turn to take the stage. What’s it gonna be when you finally come of age?

** Hunter:**

When I go to work I’ll be a pain attacker. You’ll see me on the field as an NFL linebacker

Conita:

Beautiful creations are sculpted by my hands. You’ll see my works of art all across this land

Pasqually:

Garrett and Amanda, we’re perking up our ears to find out what the two of you will be doing in a few years

Garrett:

Scholastic pursuits keep my mind from going stale, so I think I’ll take a gig at Harvard or Yale

Amanda:

My fans will wait in like to get a glimpse of me, you’ll see my name in lights on a Broadway marquee

All:

Sit across beyond the stars and fly there on a dream. They said you couldn’t go that far

Kids: There’s nothing you can’t do if you decide you want to

Jasper: Rappin’ Jasper Jowls, your main emcee and there’s Megan and Mark who wish to rap with me

Megan:

When I tell you my goals you best believe I meant it, cause I’ll see you on the floor of the United States senate

Mark:

There’s a lot of sick people who need a helping hand. I’m gonna go to school and be a medical man

All:

Sit across beyond the stars and fly there on a dream. They said you couldn’t go that far

Kids:

There’s nothing you can’t do if you decide you want to

Pasqually:

Helen Henny

Helen: Yes?

Pasqually:

The kids and I were talking about goals and I was wondering

Munch:

I know all about em. You kick the ball through the upright, you slide the puck past the goal, you throw the ball through the hoop

Chuck

Munch, Munch, no Munch not that kind of goal

Jasper:

You know I think they’re talking about the kind of goal that’s in your heart, not on a scoreboard

Helen:

I think I know what you mean. I saw a kid dancing to the beat, you might’ve thought he had two left feet. But he kept at it and after a while, the other kids were trying to copy his style. Now there’s a guy who don’t believe in quitting. He kept at it cause he knew he had

All:

Possibilities. Possibilities. I see it on your face, you’re going places. Possibilities. Possibilities. You’ve got possibilities

Jasper:

Let me tell you about a guy I know. My friend Pasqually is a drumming man. He wasn’t born with those sticks in his hand

Pasqually:

I practiced till my little fingers were blue, to learn to play that’s what you gotta do

Helen:

Oh yeah

Pasqually:

I didn’t mind, I was having fun. It feels good to make the most of your

All:

Possibilities. Possibilities. I see it on your face, you’re going places. Possibilities. Possibilities. You’ve got possibilities

Chuck

Ok, listen to this. A little girl was staring at her shoes, she told me that she had some bad news. It seems her kitten wasn’t feeling right but three days later he was smiling bright. Cause girls and kittens don’t feel bad for long, when you’re that long you’ve got a lot of

All:

Possibilities. Possibilities. I see it on your face, you’re going places. Possibilities. Possibilities. We got possibilities

Chuck

Does this make any sense?

Kids:

We think we know what you’re trying to say

Chuck

Oh yeah?

Kids:

If we keep at it we’ll be on our way

Chuck

You got it

Kids:

We’ll stick together and we’ll make some noise

Chuck

Let’s hear it

Kids:

You’re gonna hear from us girls and boys

All:

Yeah!

Chuck

If anybody says “You can’t do it.”

Kids:

We’ll know better cause we know we have

All:

Possibilities. Possibilities. I see it on your face, you’re going places. Possibilities. Possibilities. You’ve got possibilities.

Chuck

Yeah!

All:

Possibilities. Possibilities. I see it on your face, you’re going places. Possibilities. Possibilities. We’ve got possibilities

Chuck

And with so many possibilities out there you can do whatever you want. Don’t go too far, we’ll be right back

Pasqually:

Hey everybody, I have a game we can all play!

All:

Alright

Chuck E. Cheese:

I hope it’s something that I can win.

All:

Me too!

Pasqually:

It’s not really a game where you win or lose you see it’s..it’s…

All:

Yeah?

Pasqually:

It’s like this.

[Song: Guessing Game]

Pasqually: (Singing)

Here’s a little guessing game we can play.

Let’s look down the road 10 years from today.

When people come and listen to Mr. Munch’s band,

what kind of music will they hear then?

Jasper T. Jowls:

Well let’s hear from the leader of the band

Mr. Munch: (Singing)

Now rap music’s sure to be the happening thing.

In 10 years time rap music will be king.

It’s the music of the streets and I’ll tell you what’ll happen,

a decade from now the whole world will be rapping!

Chuck E. Cheese:

Alright Munch, your predictions are duly noted

Helen Henny:

But I wanna know what Jasper thinks

**Jasper T. Jowls: **

Instead of rapping it, I think I’ll sing it.

Jasper T. Jowls: (Singing)

It don’t take lots of schooling to figure this one out,

country music’s the only style we could never live without.

It soothes you when you’re sadly and excites you when you’re gladly.

I reckon every boy and girl will someday love it madly!

Pasqually:

Do si do, aha!

Mr. Munch:

Yeah, you can take Jasper out of the country

Chuck E. Cheese:

But you can’t take the country out of the kid. Helen, you care to take a guess?

Kids: (Singing)

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game.

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game

Helen Henny:

Listen boys, when it comes to music there’s no guessing here.

Helen Henny: (Singing)

Move over fellas cause I’ve got some news,

Nothing beats dancing for shaking the blues.

People like music that tickles their feet.

The future belongs to a dancing beat

Kids:

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game.

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game

Mr. Munch:

Well, you got a point about that dancing thing. Of course when you’re my size you tend to crush peoples feet every now and then.

Pasqually:

Mr. Chuck E, I believe it’s your turn, though

Chuck E. Cheese: (Singing)

Rock n Roll music is the way things are going.

Electric guitars really get my blood flowing.

If you come and see this band 10 years from today

I guarantee you we’ll be rocking away

Helen Henny:

Ooh, tear it up, Chuck E.

Pasqually:

Well then, that’s everybody

All:

The kids?

Pasqually:

Mama Mia, how could I be so stupid? Take it group

Kids: (Singing)

We think this game is fun but we’d rather see

a future filled with musical diversity.

In 10 years time, music may be bizarre,

but we like Mr. Munch’s band just the way they are

All: (Singing)

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game.

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game.

Guessing game. Guessing game. Guessing game

[Children start all crowding around Chuck and talking]

Chuck E. Cheese:

Hey, hold on you guys. We gotta get going

Jasper T. Jowls:

But, but wait Chuck E, have a riddle. What do you always have even when it’s not with you?

Helen Henny:

Homework?

Jasper T. Jowls:

No, silly, a friend

Helen Henny:

Oh

Chuck E. Cheese:

Good point, Jasper. You know, gang, we should tell all our friends how much we’ve enjoyed entertaining them today

Pasqually:

Let’s do it

Mr. Munch:

Yeah

[Song: See You Soon my Friend]

Chuck E. Cheese: (Singing)

We’d like to say how nice it was to have you here today.

My how time flies when we have fun, how can it be our time is done?

Jasper T. Jowls: (Singing)

It means a lot when you take time to spend your day with me.

It makes me feel important and I mean that honestly

Helen Henny & Mr. Munch & Pasqually: (Singing)

Though it’s time to go I’ll keep my head held high.

Kids: (Singing)

All: (Singing)

Helen Henny: (Singing)

How many days till you return?

I’ll count them tick tick tick.

It seems a silly thing to do but when you’re gone I miss you

Chuck E. Cheese: (Singing)

Now off you go until next time, I’ll think of you each day.

Just leave me with a smile that I can hold while you’re away

Helen Henny & Mr. Munch & Pasqually: (Singing)

Though it’s time to go I’ll keep my head held high.

I really had a great time today.

Friends like us don’t even need to say goodbye.

We know we’ll see each other so we say

Chuck E. Cheese:

We had a great time entertaining you today and we want you to stick around for more. We’ll be back in a little bit. So long
