Adolfo

I went to the high school musical last night because my son was a percussionist in the pit. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, particularly this song:

I'm sure that you have heard the name Adolpho
A ladies' man who wins acclaim, Adolpho
Well lovely miss I am the same Adolpho
I introduce myself, I am Adolpho

("Nice to Meet You, Shall We?")

"Not So Fast!"

So just in case you didn't hear, Adolpho
I'll try to make it very clear, Adolpho
The lovely ladies always cheer, Adolpho
When I repeat myself, I am Adolpho

("Understood!")

I can sing it Hi, Adolpho
I can sing it Low, Adolpho
I can sing it very fast, Adolpho
I can sing it very slow...ly

"I'd do it now, but it would take HOURS..."
"Now let's see if you can remember my name!"

("I'll give it a shot.")

Now who's the fella that you see? ("Adolpho")
And how should you refer to me? ("Adolpho")
And who is it I'll always be? ("Adolpho")
Now sing it proudly! ("You are Adolpho!")

Now let me spell it out for you!
"For all you lovely ladies that didn't hear for some reason because maybe you are, hard of hearing or something..."

It goes:
Aaaaah
Daa ha ha ha ha haLLLL
Ffff, ffff, ffooooooo AGH!

I ammm Adolpho!

"Adolpho!"

Too funny! I was, as per usual on a Friday night, super tired heading into the show. But as usual, seeing and hearing my son play touches something in me -- not to mention taking in the wonderful performances of his classmates...
