LITTLE BILL GOES UP [Cold Open — White Rabbit voice, impatient] Mary Ann! Inside. Now! [Female whisper] Wrong name. [Door slam] [Bass enters] Too late. [Verse 1 — restrained, rhythmic] One small bottle One tight room One quick sip and Boom—boom—boom Arm in the window Boot in the hall House getting tight now I’m not small Walls start buckling Floor starts to dip Something in me Won’t let it quit [Pre-Drop] Push—push Crack that frame Say my name right Say it again [MAIN DROP] TOO BIG! For your little house TOO LOUD! Keep my name out your mouth Knock-knock Who’s down below? Little Bill… You already know. [Beat strips down] Scratch-scratch In the brick Climb slow Then make it quick One step back One clean hit— [BASS IMPACT] KICK—WHOOSH! LITTLE BILL GOES UP! [Instrumental Dance Break] (Skrrt-ka, kick-ka, whoosh!) (Up-up-up!) (Skrrt-ka, kick-ka—) BOOM! Little Bill goes up! [Verse 2 — harder delivery] Rabbit outside trying to run the show Pat got a ladder, still too low Pebbles hit glass, turn dust on sight Wonderland rules don’t work tonight They say, “Burn the house!” I say, “Step inside.” Whole crew froze When the doorway replied— [Deep vocal] Try me. [Pre-Drop] Brick-brick Shake that stack Send one at me— I send it back! [DROP — call and response] Who’s in the chimney? LITTLE BILL! What’s he gonna do? HOLD REAL STILL! What happens next? YOU KNOW WHAT’S UP! KICK—WHOOSH! LITTLE BILL GOES UP! [Groove Section] Up-up Don’t come down Spin that lizard Round and round Heel back Chin high Kick that beat Into the sky (Skrrt-ka!) (Whoosh-ka!) (Huh!) [Bridge — powerful sung section] You built the walls But I grew past the room You gave me a name Still I never fit your tune If your little world Can’t hold what I am Then open that door— Or catch me if you can. [Silence] Bill? [Tiny distant voice] …I’m all right. [HEAVIEST DROP] TOO BIG! Break that frame TOO LOUD! Say my real name Kick left Kick right Make that whole foundation shake Skrrt-ka! Kick-ka! Bass erupt When the pressure gets heavy— LITTLE BILL GOES UP! Up-up-up! Out that stack Wonderland sent him— I sent him back! [Extended Dance Outro] (Kick… whoosh… kick… whoosh…) (Little Bill…) (Going up…) KICK—WHOOSH!
