We'll Make it Work
   
  (Yon has fallen in love with the Lady Robot queen. However, the relationship is built on pretence - the queen believes that Yon is a sponge farmer - that is, that he breeds, cultivates and sells sponge)
   
Yon: I was made to love you,
  You were made to... kill.
  I was made to care for you,
  You were made to... kill.
   
  But we'll make it work, somehow.
  We'll make it work, somehow,
  We'll make it work.
   
  Look at these hands, could a queen love such hands as these?
  Hands that have worked on a sponge farm for more than ten years?
  See how a sponge-farming life takes its toll.
  So smooth and so supple, almost silky.
   
  Could a queen love these hands?
  Could a queen understand what I've been through?
   
  Could you love a man who sweats his days
  With nothing to wipe his brow,
  But an endless supply of sponge?
   
  Such a simple sponge farmer,
  From the wrong side of the tracks,
  The side with the sponge farms on it.
   
Yon: Don't go anywhere.
  (Yon grabs a trumpet from offstage and plays it at her for a few phrases)
   
Yon: We'll make it work, somehow.
  We'll make it work...
   
  (Yon curls up to sleep)
