So this song is going to come after the full-cast opener, which will be called "Daddy's Little Princess," and which hasn't been written yet. (I'm working on it, I swear...) Because this part of the story is set in the great depression (probably circa 1931), people are obviously incredibly desperate for money. Because Jane has a wealthy family (which will be established in DLP), some of the disgruntled waitstaff are going to attempt to kidnap her to ransom her for money. The title is referencing the previous song, as well as making fun of her for being daddy's little princess, because that's why she's being kidnapped now.
Character: Kidnappers
Favorite line: "We just want to play"
Hardest line to write: "If he don't, then he/ practically shot her"
Why: I felt really weird about including this line in what's supposed to ultimately be a family show... It seemed a little harsh to actually say that they were going to kill her and it was her dad's fault for not paying the ransom. I went with it anyway because I couldn't come up with a nicer way to say it...
