STEPHANIE
(After they stop) Was it me?
BENNY
All of ya. Adam, you went up a half-step. Listen. Your natural impulse is to punch the end of the line,
right? That‘s why ya gotta‘ push down. (Demonstrates a capella) SHAKE THEM AWAY… Half-step.
See? (They try it softly as he speaks.) You, too, Steph. SHAKE THEM AWAY… Got it? Take it from
Ali's lead-in: (a capella) IF YOU WOULD LOSE... Two, three, four…
ALYSON
IF YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR WEARY BLUES, SHAKE ‗EM AWAY.
FOUR KIDS
(Much better) SHAKE THEM AWAY…
BENNY

FOUR KIDS
SHAKIN‘ THE BLUES AWAY
UNHAPPY NEWS AWAY
IF YOU ARE BLUE,
SHAKE OFF YOUR CARES AND TROUBLES
BENNY
Yes!
FOUR KIDS
TELLIN‘ THE BLUES TO GO
THEY MAY REFUSE TO GO
BUT AS A RULE
THEY'LL GO AWAY.
SHAKE YOUR CARES AND TROUBLES AWAY.
