is there any equivalent expression in English?
 
Hi all,
 
First of all Happy New Year to all of you! I �m back to routine and one student of mine asked me how to say in English a Spanish children saying. Here you have the context: You go to the theatre, to a live concert, or to the cinema. The performance is supposed to start at 9 o �clock, it is already 9:15 and it hasn �t started yet. The audience starts losing patience and say.... In Spanish it is said "Hurry up, the audience is going to leave, people get dizzy and the crowd wants to pee" In Spanish it rhymes. Is there any equivalent expression for the situation described in English?
Thanks in advanced.
