Eager Beaver

Lyrics

[COMFORT] I'm sick of Dullsville I'd rather be in Deauville Where people and roulette wheels go flashing by You don't want placid grandeur So give me your hand, you're Just as anxious to keep moving as I What makes an eager beaver eager to be busy? What makes an eager beaver try to jump the gun? Maybe a beaver thinks a bit of rest Might cause a mild revulsion Or does a feeling of compulsion Make him run, run, run? Come, little beaver, I believe a task awaits us Each little nibble brings you close to where I am Build like a beaver 'til the thing we're building mates us Eager beavers always give a dam Nice little beaver with the skin so soft Nice little beaver with the teeth so white Beaver! Beaver, we're right! [COMFORT, spoken] Come on, what's the action? Hey, Mike, what have we got for today? [MIKE, spoken] Well, first we go to Pamplona to swim Then to Roches Fleuries for lunch Then we've got some skin-diving off the Lazareff rocks Then we have to drive back to Beauvallon for cocktails with the Chauvels And gamble [COMFORT, spoken] That's all? [MIKE, spoken] That's all? [COMFORT] Action, action Lovely, lively action [MIKE] A word that often has the prefix "re-" [MIKE & COMFORT] Reaction, reaction The best part is reaction It's like the breath of life to you and me [MIKE] "Hurry" is the word as well as "busy" [COMFORT] Hasten, keep your face in line with mine [MIKE & COMFORT] We can stop each other getting dizzy But dizziness can often be divine Action, reaction! Action [MIKE] Reaction! What makes an eager beaver eager to be busy? What makes an eager beaver try to jump the gun? Maybe a beaver thinks a bit of rest Might cause a mild revulsion Or does a feeling of compulsion Make him run, run, run? Come, little beaver, I believe a task awaits us Each little nibble brings you close to where I am Build like a beaver 'til the thing we're building mates us [MIKE & COMFORT] Eager beavers always give a dam Nice little beaver with the skin so soft Nice little beaver with the teeth so white Beaver! Beaver, we're right! [Dance break.]
