"The singers imagine that they are visiting a football game. Because of the bright sun, they place a hand over their eyes and look for a seat. They recognize a friend to their left and wave to him. They see another friend to the right and wave to her. In waving, they drop change from their pockets, and have to pick it up. They finally see seats in the fifteenth row of the stadium. They climb up the steps and take a deep sigh after every fifth step. To make room enough to sit, they push their neighbors so that they are sitting close together. When they sit down in their seats they must sit very straight if they are to see the game because there are so many persons in front of them. During one of the plays, a ball is kicked toward the seats. They all jump to catch the ball. The game continues. One of the players makes a bad mistake; (Oh no!) everybody whistles (fish-mouth!) The game is over. The winning team is standing proud. Their fans stand proud too!
After the game, there are fireworks. Everyone imitate the rockets, following their paths with arm motions as they shoot upward in the sky. They make sounds with "sh," "v" and "z." After the grand finale of the fireworks, everyone sighs.
