Independence Day Original Broadway Cast of "The Story of My Life"

[ALVIN]
This is it, Tom
This is it!

[THOMAS]
The morning before the big trip...

[ALVIN]
Twenty-four hours and I will be there!

[THOMAS]
All I could think was, ...Boy, this day came fast...

[ALVIN]
To ruffle your feathers and get in your hair!

[THOMAS]
All I could think was, I have things to take care of...

[ALVIN]
The whole town could perish
I don't even care!

[THOMAS]
But all I could say was...
...see you tomorrow!

[ALVIN]
This is it, Tom
This is it!

I never thought this day would actually come!

This morning, I finally believed it
I woke up and felt it begin
"I'm shaking the dust of this crummy old town off my feet"

Take that, George Bailey!

I'll make up a sign for the bookstore
And hang it where peoplе come in
Saying, "Closing for Christmas
The owner is hitting thе street!"

Look
I'll never be a world traveler
I just wasn't built that way
Still, this could be
My independence day!

[THOMAS]
Aren't you blowing this a little out of proportion?
