(SOBS)

[BUD as MONK, SPOKEN]

Poor, poor Helvetica...

[Sung]

You've made wine, probably 'bout a million times
You dumb German wench, you fool...
He's gone! What is that you're stomping on?
Let me take a guess, there's grape juice on your dress
Isn't it time to stop the press?

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SPOKEN]

You mean destroy Gutenberg's printing press?

[BUD as MONK, SPOKEN]

That's right, Helvetica! The only thing standing between you and Gutenborg is that there printing press!

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Stop the Press!
You gotta stop the press or the press will stop you
Stop the Press!
You can get him back if you give it a [?, presumed chomp]
You stomped his grapes for wine
Now stomp for Monk this time
You've got to stop the-

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

Please don't shout!
I'm in this bucket- I'll get out
If I smash his press, he'll cry
And I-

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Will be right there to dry his eyes!

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

I'll feel his caress?

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Yes...


[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

We'll be together?

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Yes!

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

Maybe it's time to Stop the Press!

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Stop the Press!
You can stop the press with a simple pencil
Stop the Press!

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

I know I'm gonna do it but I'm feeling tense
Will Gutenberg be mad?

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

No!


[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

Will Gutenberg be glad?

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

Sure

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SUNG]

I've got to stop the-

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

[BUD as MONK, DOUG as HELVETICA, BOTH SUNG]

Stop the Press! Okay I'll do it!
Stop the Press! I know I can!
Stop the Press! Please don't rush me-
Stop the Press! I love my man!
Use that pencil. Stop the Press!
You'll be together. Stop the Press!
You'll have a baby. Stop the Press!
Johannes Jr! Stop the Press!

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

You've got to stop the-

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SPOKEN]

I love you Gutenberg!

[BUD as MONK, SUNG]

You've got to stop the-

[DOUG as HELVETICA, SPOKEN]
