SCENE FIVE 
THE WET T-SHIRT CONTEST 

After a few weeks on the bus, being porked by 
Toad-O's road crew, and being too exhausted to do 
their laundry on a regular basis, MARY is dumped in 
Miami. 
With no money (and no other famous rock groups due into 
the area for at least three weeks), she tries to pick 
up a few bucks 
by entering the Wet T-Shirt contest at The Brasserie... 

IKE: 
Looks to me like something funny 
Is going on around here 
People laughin' 'n' dancin' 'n' payin' 
Entirely too much for their beer 
And they all think they are 
Clean outa-site 
And they're ready to party 
"Cause the sign outside says it's WET T-SHIRT NITE 
'N' they all crave some Hot delight 
Well the girls are excited 
Because in a minute 
They're gonna get wet 
'N' the boys are delighted 
Because all the titties 
Will get 'em upset 
'N' they all think they are Reety-awright 
'N' they're ready to boogie 
'Cause the sign outside says it's WET T-SHIRT NITE 
'N' they all crave some Pink delight 
When the water gets on'em 
Their ninnies get rigid 
'N' look pretty bold 
It's a common reaction 
That makes an attraction 
Whenever it's cold 
'N'all of the fellas 
They wish they could bite 
On the cute little nuggets 
The local girls are showin' off tonite 
You know I think it serves 'em right 
You know I think it serves 'em right 
You know I think it serves 'em right 
You know I think it serves 'em right 
And it's WET T-SHIRT TIME AGAIN 
I know you want someone to show you some tit! 
BIG ONES! WET ONES! BIG WET ONES! 

At this point, FATHER RILEY (who had been recently de-
frocked 
for not meeting his quota, and has grown his hair out 
and 
bought a groovy sport coot and moved to Miami and 
changed 
his name to BUDDY JONES) steps onto the crowded 
bandstand 
in his exciting new role as a WET T-SHIRT CONTEST 
EMCEE... 

BUDDY JONES: 
Ah, thanks, IKE... 
Yes, it's WET T-SHIRT TIME AGAIN 
Here at The Brasserie... Home of THE TITS... huh huh... 
And it's the charming Mary from Canoga Park 
Up next in her bid for the semi-finals... 
Hi,Mary...howya doin? 

Having been fucked senseless by the boys in the crew, 
MARY does 
not recognize the former religious personage from her 
nights in the 
rectory basement during which she acquired her basic 
manual skills… 
confounded by his sport coat, she replies... 

MARY: Hi! 

Realizing that she no longer recognizes him... or even 
appreciates 
the patient religious training he had given her in the 
past, BUDDY JONES,
like a true WET T-SHIRT EMCEE type person, proceeds to 
say various 
stupid things to waste time, making the contest itself 
take longer, thereby 
giving the mongoloids squatting on the dance floor an 
opportunity to buy 
more exciting beverages. . . liquid products that will 
expand their 
consciousnesses to the point whereby they might more 
fully enjoy the ambiance 
of Miami By Night... 

BUDDY JONES: 
Where ya from? 

MARY: 
Ah, the bus... 

BUDDY JONES: 
Which one? 

MARY: 
You know...the last tour... 
You know... 
Leather 

BUDDY JONES: 
Oh.. .you were the girl that was stuck to seat 38 on 
Phydeaux III... 
why don't you get in position now and take a deep 
breath, because 
this water is very, very cold, but it's goin' to be so 
stimulating. And 
Mary's the kind of Red-Blooded American Girl who'll do 
anything... 

MARY: 
Anything... 

BUDDY JONES: 
I said anything... for fifty bucks 
That's right! 

MARY: 
I really need the fifty bucks you know I gotta get 
home! 

BUDDY JONES: 
Yeh, I know, your father is waiting for you in the tool 
shed... that's right,you 
heard right... our big prize tonite is fifty American 
Dollars to the girl with 
the most exciting mammalian protruberances... 

MARY: Here I am! 

BUDDY JONES: ... 
as viewed through a thoroughly soaked, stupid looking 
white sort of male 
person's conservative kind of middle-of-the-road COTTON 
UNDER-GARMENT! 
Whoopee! And here comes THE WATER! 

MARY: 
EEEK! 

BUDDY JONES: 
No, you'd squeak more if the water got on you ...sounds 
like you just got an 
ice pick in the forehead... AND HERE COMES THE ICE PICK 
IN THE FOREHEAD... 
a million laughs, Mary! Anyway
