Tear It Up and Throw It Away

Avenue Q

Kate: 
Oh Nicky, Nicky, bad news.

Nicky: 
What's the matter Kate?

Kate: 
I can't go with you to the Phish concert at the Aquarium.

Nicky: 
Oh no, I was looking forward to that!

Kate: 
Me too.

Nicky: 
Oh, why can't you come?

Kate: 
I got jury duty.

Nicky: 
Jury duty?

Kate: 
Mm Hm.

Nicky: 
Aw, Kate, you don't have to go to Jury duty.

Kate: 
Yes I do. I got this summons in the mail, it says I have to go.

Nicky: 
Oh, what summons?

Kate: 
This one.

Nicky: 
No. WHAT summons?

Kate: 
THIS one.

Nicky: 
No Kate you don't understand: Tear it up and throw it away.

Kate: 
What?

Nicky: 
Throw it away, Throw it away! Tear it up and throw it away. 
And go about your day!

Kate: 
Oh, I can't do that! This is an official summons.

Nicky: 
Oh! An official summons. Well, why didn't you say so? 
Tear it up and throw it away!

Kate: 
Just. Tear it up?

Nicky: 
Yeah! And throw it away! 
Tear it up and throw it away, so you and I can play.

Kate: 
But, isn't it my civic duty?

Nicky: 
Aw! Who gives a doody? The government employees already know, 
For many reasons many people just won't show. 
A piece of mail's an easy thing to overlook, so just like the airlines, they overbook!

Kate: Oh! 

Both: 
Tear it up and throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! 
Tear it up and throw it away, 

Nicky: 
It's perfectly okay.

Kate: 
Ah! Oh but wait a minute, wait a minute. 
It says here the penalty is 30 days in jail.

Nicky: 
KATE! No one's ever gone to jail! Gone to jail! Gone to jail! 
Have you ever heard of anyone who's gone to jail,

Kate: 
Oh! 'Cause something got lost in the mail! OH!

Nicky: Exactly!

Both: 
Tear it up and throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! 
Tear it up and throw it away! (tear)

Nicky: 
Yeah, you got it!

Kate: Did not!

Nicky: 
Right!

Both: 
And go about your day!

Nicky: 
Only the little people do jury duty Kate!

Kate: 
Yeah!
