SWEET BEGINNING
This is the closing number, when Cocky has decided all the old rules are gone and the game can now be played elsewhere with greater equality - with at least a fighting chance of winning. The show and the song end with Cocky and Sir silhouetted against a large circle of light representing the moon (this photo was on the cover of the playbills); each of them has a finger raised to the other, arguing because one of them wants to go left and one wants to go right. The curtain comes down on them frozen in this argument. It's a very poignant image and sums up the eternal struggle that you know will continue even after the curtain goes down.

This, my friend, is only the beginning -
Such a sweet beginning, too.
Now, at last, I see a chance of winning -
See a chance of breaking through.
Who can say? Today may live in hist'ry
As long as there's a hist'ry book.
Yesterday the world was still a myst'ry;
Today it has a new and diff'rent look.
So, my friend, let's send the old world spinning;
Change is what I recommend.
Come on, my friend, let's see this sweet beginning...
