The music ends as the dancer stands stage right with his right arm extended, pointing to the curtain as it opens to reveal a new set. Musical introduction for the next number begins. The set is constructed of three separate scenes, each receding slightly away from the front of the stage and each one slightly overlapping the other. The first scene is that of a living room in a suburban home circa 1984 - sofa, coffee table, television, etc. The second is a carnival midway from the 1950's - booths, cotton candy stand, bearded lady exhibit etc. The third is the interior of a present day swinger's club - hot tub, leopard skin chaise lounge, mirrored walls, whips, chains, martinets, handcuffs, other varied bondage equipment. The lights dim as only a single red spotlight shines on the first scene. A couple is sitting in their living room. They are in their mid-30's. The woman is lying on the floor, she is naked except for a yellow floppy hat. She is holding a harpoon. The man is sitting on the sofa. He is wearing only a tiara. As the dancer exits stage right and reappears on the catwalk above the stage, the man in scene one faces the audience and begins to sing:
"Westwood Sex Club" (Slow tempo)
It was a beautiful evening, The stars were shining Through the blinds in my living room. I was staying with Missy, She was talking to me And polishing her harpoon. When all at once Missy dear looked up And she asked me,
(Sung by the Missy character:)
"Whatever became Of Mr. Chan with the wandering hands In his filthy tea shop On the corner of 5th and Main?"
(Sung by the man:)
Well, it's there But they changed the name
It's called the Westwood Sex Club now.
(He helps the woman stand up, puts his arm around her and he continues:)
It's called the Westwood Sex Club now.
(They both sing:)
It's called the Westwood Sex Club now.
(As the music plays, the woman once again lies on the floor and immediately falls asleep while the lighting changes to a softer red. The man stands over her and begins the second verse:)
I remember that morning, The leaves were falling From a hole in the roof above.
(The dancer throws Honeysuckle leaves from the catwalk onto the couple below.)
Missy lay at my feet Talkin' in her sleep And I was trying to listen because I thought I heard her saying something about How her daddy, a long time ago ...
(A white spotlight now hits the second scene. In the carnival set, a middle-aged man is walking along the midway with a little girl. He is holding her hand as she holds a yellow balloon with her other hand. They are dressed in a 1960's sit-com style; Father in a jacket and tie, daughter in a ruffled dress and pig-tails. The man in the first scene narrates the activities occurring in the second:)
... Had taken her down To a place in town Where the lights were bright Like the ones in a carnival show. when she woke up, She said she wanted to go ...
(The woman awakes, stands up and is once again held by the man. While standing between scene one and scene two, they both, as well as the couple from scene two, proceed to sing the second chorus:)
To the Westwood Sex Club now. To the Westwood Sex Club now. To the Westwood Sex Club now.
(During the musical interlude, the two couples walk slowly towards the third scene which, as the two preceding scenes fade in the darkness, is lit with a dim blue spotlight. Within this setting of the swingers club, one sees twenty or so people engaged in variuos psuedo-erotic activities. Certain figures can be seen hanging from invisible wires, some are eating heartily at a trough, others engage in implied intimacies. All the figures are in various stages of undress. There are several women and men who are serving as greeters, similar to those one sees in the entryways at certain department stores. The man from scene one begins the third verse as the playfulness ensues in the background:)
I remember that Tuesday, After Missy got ready We headed out to the Sex Club scene. When we walked inside We saw a couple of housewives Sellin', razors and shaving cream.
(The characters thus described are highlighted by an additional blue spotlight.)
Mrs. Smith was there and so was Mrs. Ray, They were such a pretty pair-
(The spotlight moves to this second grouping.)
Dressed like doves, Wearing rubber gloves, Dancing a jig And throwing Mr. Smith in the air. If you go They may still be there.
(As the dancer on the catwalk throws dahlias and roses onto the stage below and as the Sex Club clients continue their playfulness, the entire group from scenes one and two sing:)
They're at the Westwood Sex Club now. They're at the Westwood Sex Club now. They're at the Westwood Sex Club now.
