From the recording MATCH: THE MUSICAL
Teddy's Son ROLIE knocks on Teddy's window to wake him up, and ROLIE, and his wife
JO-JO, helps clean Meg's stuff out of TEDDY"S bedrooms' closet eight months after Megs passing. They also tell him of the Housekeeper "Cal" they hired to care for him and introduce her. (Calliope is really the muse of eloquence and heroic poetry and an Angel) that Meg has prayed for and begged to come down and help her dear TEDDY.

Sometimes You Gotta Throw Stuff Out Words and Music. Robert Michael Turco © 2022
From the Musical “Match” Sung by RAY and JOELLE
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out Be calm as a dove quiet as a mouse
(Ray)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
Be calm as a dove quiet as a mouse
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
Clean up your space get it out of your house
(Ray)
Sometimes you gotta be real tough
Roll up your sleeves settle down to business
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out T
urn your back on the past and a little bit leave it
Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle) Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle)
You Gotta (Both) THROW STUFF OUT! (Both & Audience)
(REX & Lo & huge video screen phones fist pump lead audience in chant of Throw Stuff Out)
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta tie things up
Put ‘em a box for grandchild reading
(Ray)
Sometimes you gotta tie things up
Store them away if they have true meaning
(Joelle has a poster of shirtless Peter Frampton on stage left) &
(Ray has a Poster of Bo Derek Stage right)
(They both surreptitiously stash away)
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta frame things up
Preserve your pasts enduring feelings
(BOTH)
Sometimes you gotta frame things up
Put ‘em on the wall where they look real pleasing
BUT! (BOTH)
Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle) Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle)
You Gotta (Both) THROW STUFF OUT! (Both & Audience)
(REX & Lo & huge video screen phones fist pump lead audience in chant of Throw Stuff Out)
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
You gotta give up anger build solutions
(Joelle has a Poster of Hilary Clinton on stage left) &
(Ray has a Poster of Donald Trump stage right)
(In unison they both throw ‘em in the garbage box)
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
You gotta let things go to soothe your feelings
(Ray)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
Forgiving things that have hurt you
(Joelle)
Sometimes you gotta throw stuff out
Forgive yourself for stuff you never meant to do meant
Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle)
Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle)
You Gotta (Both) THROW STUFF OUT! (Both & Audience)
Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle) Sometimes (Ray) Sometimes (Joelle)
You Gotta (Both) THROW STUFF OUT! (Both & Audience)
(REX & Lo & huge video screen phones fist pump lead audience in chant of Throw Stuff Out)
