Well, don't ya hear them chime?

Bumped me

You Can't Stop The Beat
SOLOIST 1
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But i just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat
SOLOIST 1&2 /ENSEMBLE
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!
SOLOIST 1
You can't stop a river

Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming of
But they cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you cant stop the beat!
SOLOIST 2
You cant stop my happiness
'Cause i like the way i am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork
When I see a Christmas ham
So if you don't like the way i look
Well, I just don't give a darn!
ENSEMBLE /SOLOIST 2
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time

She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!

Our Last Summer
SOLOIST
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Sand,
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath we had a fear of flying
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last dance
SOLOIST /BACKUP SINGERS
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
SOLOIST
And now you're working in a bank
The family man, the football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet you were the hero of my dreams
SOLOIST/BACKUP SINGERS
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Sand, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
S.O.S.
BAND 4 BOYS
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
You seemed so far away though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
Dancing Queen
Ah……………………….
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine Oh yeah!
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ohooo See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Guys and Dolls
Guys and Dolls
4 Men
What's playing at the Roxy?
I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy.
A picture about a Minnesota man falls in love with a Mississippi girl
That he sacrifices everything and moves all the way to Biloxi.
That's what's playing at the Roxy.
What's in the daily news?
I'll tell you what's in the daily news.
Story about a man bought his wife a small ruby
With what otherwise would have been his union dues.
That's what's in the daily news.
What's happening all over?
I'll tell you what's happening all over.
Guy sitting home by a television set
That used to be something of a rover.
That's what's happening all over.
Love is the thing that has nipped them.
And it looks like Nathan's just another victim.
NICELY (spoken) Yes, sir!
When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doing it for some doll.
When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane.
When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal.
Call it sad, call it funny.
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.
When you see a Joe saving have of his dough
You can bet there'll be mink in it for some doll.
When a bum buys wine like a bum can't afford
It's a cinch that the bum is under the thumb of some little broad.
When you meet a mug lately out of the jug
And he's still lifting platinum folderol
Call it hell, call it heaven
But it's probable twelve to seven
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.
(interlude)
When you see a sport and his cash has run short
Make a bet that he's banking it with some doll.
When a guy wears tails with the front gleaming white
Who the hell do you think he's tickling pink on Saturday night?
When a lazy slob takes a goody steady job,
And he smells from vitalis and barbasol.
Call it dumb, call it clever
Ah, but you can get odds forever
That the guy's only doing it for some doll
Some doll, some doll
The guy's only doing it for some doll!
Sue Me
You promise me this, you promise me that
You promise me anything under the sun
Then you give me a kiss,
And your grabbing your hat
And your off to the races again
When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide!
And I think of the way I tried!
Adelaide!
I could honestly die.
Call a lawyer and sue me,
Sue me
What can you do me,
I love you.
Give a holler and hate me
Hate me
Go ahead, hate me!
I LOVE YOU
The best years of my life, I was a fool to give you you
Alright, already, I'm just a no-goodnick!
Alright, already, it's true.
So new.
So sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
You gamble it here,
You gamble it there
You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air
Till your back in the money again
When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide!
And I think of the way I tried!
Adelaide!
I could honestly die.
Serve a paper and sue me, sue me
What can you do me,
I love you.
Give a holler and hate me,
Hate me,
Go ahead, hate me!
When you wind up in jail
Don't come to me to bail you out!
Alright, already, so call a policeman!
Alright, already, it's true
So new
So sue me, sue me
What can you do me
I love you!
You're at it again,
You're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that.
And I'm telling you now that we're through!
When I think of the time gone by
Adelaide, Adelaide!
And I think of the way I tried!
Adelaide!
I could honestly die.
Sue me, sue me
Shoot bullets through me
I love you!!
If I Were A Bell
Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say, is if I were a bell I'd be ringing!
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light
And If I were a banner I'd wave!
Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if gate I'd be swinging!
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs!
Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!
Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning.
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning!
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked!
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack!
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked!
Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Ask me how to describe this whole beautiful thing
Well, if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!
Medley
Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
French are glad to die for love;
They delight in fighting duels.
But I prefer a man who lives
And give expensive jewels.
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old,
And we all lose our charm in the end.
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
And I think affairs that you must keep Masonic
Are the better bets
If little pets get big baguettes.
Time rolls on, and youth is gone,
And you can't straighten up when you bend.
But stiff back or stiff knees,
You stand straight at Tiff'ny's!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice,
But get that ice or else no dice.
He's your guy when stocks go high,
But beware when they start to descend,
It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
My Funny Valentine
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Sweet Charity
Oscar:
Here was a man
With no dream and no plan,
And one crazy night I found
Sweet Charity.
You made life fun for me,
Oh, what it's done for me,
Having you around,
Sweet Charity.
Warm words
I've never said lately
Pop off the top of my head,
Incredible.
Suddenly I'm the guy
I never dared to be,
I could touch the sky
Quite easily.
So, if you are free,
Sweet Charity,
Please belong to me,
Sweet, Sweet Charity,
Please belong to me,
dancing music
Warm words
I've never said lately
Pop off the top of my head,
Incredible.
If by and by
You and I should be we
I could touch the sky
Quite easily.
So, if you are free,
Sweet Charity,
Please belong to me,
Sweet Charity,
Please belong to me!
Phantom of the Opera
Music of the Night
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness that you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey
through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night.
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
All I Ask Of You
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...
CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you...
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Say you love me...
RAOUL
You know I do...
BOTH
Love me - that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you...

support !
RAOUL
Is this her angel of music . . .?
ANDRE
We get our opera . . .
FIRMIN
She gets her limelight!
CARLOTTA
Follow where the limelight
leads you!
MEG
Is this ghost
an angel or a madman . . .?
RAOUL
Angel or madman . . .?
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Leading ladies are a trial!
GIRY
Heaven help you,
those who doubt . . .
CARLOTTA
Prima Donna
You'll sing again,
and to unending
ovation!
RAOUL
Orders! Warnings!
Lunatic demands!
GIRY
This miscasting
will invite damnation . . .
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Tears . . . oaths . . .
Lunatic demands
are regular occurrences!
MEG
Bliss or damnation?
Which has claimed her . . .?
CARLOTTA
Think how you'll shine
in that final encore!
Sing, prima donna,
once more!
GIRY
Oh fools, to have flouted his warnings!
RAOUL
Surely, for her sake . . .
MEG
Surely he'll strike back . . .
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Surely there'll be further scenes -
worse than this!
GIRY
Think, before
these demands are rejected!
RAOUL
. . .I must see
these demands are rejected!
MEG
. . . if his threats
and demands are rejected!
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Who'd believe a diva
happy to relieve a chorus girl,
who's gone and slept with the patron?
Raoul and the soubrette,
entwined in love's duet!
Although he may demur,
he must have been with her!
MEG/RAOUL
Christine must be protected!
CARLOTTA
O, fortunata!
Non ancor
abbandonata!
ANDRE/FIRMIN
You'd never get away
with all this in a play,
but if it's loudly sung
and in a foreign tongue
it's just the sort of story
audiences adore,
in fact a perfect opera!
RAOUL
His game is over!
GIRY
This is a game
you cannot hope to win!
RAOUL
And in Box Five
a new game will begin . . .
GIRY
For, if his curse is on this opera . . .
MEG
But if his curse is on this opera . . .
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Prima Donna
the world is at your feet!
A nation waits,
and how it hates
to be cheated!
CARLOTTA
The stress that falls upon a
famous Prima Donna!
Terrible diseases,
coughs and colds and sneezes!
Still, the driest throat
will reach the highest note,
in search of perfect
opera!
MEG/GIRY
. . . then I fear the outcome . . .
RAOUL
Christine plays the Pageboy,
Carlotta plays the Countess . . .
GIRY
. . . should you dare to . .
MEG
. . . when you once again . . .
ALL
Light up the stage
with that age old
rapport!
Sing, prima donna,
once more!
PHANTOM'S VOICE
So, it is to be war between us! If these demands are not
met, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur!
ALL
Once more!
Past The Point Of No Return
DON JUAN (PHANTOM)
You have come here
in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of
that wish,
which till now
has been silent,
silent . . .
I have brought you,
that our passions
may fuse and merge -
in your mind
you've already
succumbed to me
dropped all defenses
completely succumbed to me -
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts,
you've decided,
decided . . .
Past the point
of no return -
no backward glances:
the games we've played
till now are at
an end . . .
Past all thought
of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought,
and let the dream
descend . . .
What raging fire
shall flood the soul?
What rich desire
unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction
lies before
us . . .?
Past the point
of no return,
the final threshold -
what warm,
unspoken secrets
will we learn?
Beyond the point
of no return . . .
AMINTA (CHRISTINE)
You have brought me
to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .
I have come here,
hardly knowing
the reason why . . .
In my mind,
I've already
imagined our
bodies entwining
defenseless and silent -
and now I am
here with you:
no second thoughts,
I've decided,
decided . . .
Past the point
of no return -
no going back now:
our passion-play
has now, at last,
begun . . .
Past all thought
of right or wrong -
one final question:
how long should we
two wait, before
we're one . . .?
When will the blood
begin to race
the sleeping bud
burst into bloom?
When will the flames,
at last, consume
us . . .?
BOTH
Past the point
of no return
the final threshold -
the bridge
is crossed, so stand
and watch it burn . . .
We've passed the point
of no return . . .
Say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me from my solitude . . .
(He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
Slowly she takes it and puts it on her finger.)
Say you want me with you,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too,
Christine that's all I ask of . . .
Say you want me with you,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too,
Christine that's all I ask of . . .
Phantom interlude music
Say you want me with you,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too,
Christine that's all I ask of . . .
Phantom ending music
Intermission
Children’s Medley
Your Feets to Big
Fats Waller Version of Lyrics:
Who's that walkin' round here, Mercy
Sounds like baby patter, baby elephant patter thats what I calls it
Say up in Harlem at a table for two
There were four of us,
me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, I'd say you sure look sweet
From there down there's just too much feet
Yes, your feets too big
Don't want ya, cause ya feets too big
Can't use ya, cause ya feets too big
I really hate ya, cause ya feets too big
"Do wahs etc"
Where did ya get em
Your girl she likes you, she thinks you're nice
Got what it takes to be in paradise
She likes your face
She likes your rig
Man oh man those things are too big
Your feets too big
Don't want cha, cause ya feets too big
Mad at you, cause your feets too big
I hate you, cause your feets too big
----my goodness (words missing) ----shiff shiff shiff
Oh your (peddelick ???) extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
Got me walkin', talkin' and squarkin''
Cause your feets too big
Yeah, Come on and walk that thing
Oh I've never heard of such walkin', Mercy
Your (???) extremities really are obnoxious
one never knows do one
Chubby Checker version of Lyrics
Who's that walkin' round here, Mercy
Say at a diner at a table for two
There are four of us,
me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, you sure look sweet
From there down there's just too much feet
Yeah, your feets too big
Don't want ya, cause ya feets too big
Can't use ya, cause ya feets too big
I really hate ya, cause ya feets too big
Yeah, let's hear it now
Where did ya get em
Your baby she likes you, she thinks you're nice
Got what it takes to be in, ar paradise
She likes your face

Man oh man them things are too big
Oh your feets too big

Can't Shake it, cause your feets too big

Come on walk that thing
Never heard such walkin' Mercy
Where'd ya get em
Oh your (???) extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
You've got me walkin', talkin' and squarkin''
Your feets too big, too big, too large

I can't stand ya, cause your feets too big
I'm mad at cha, cause ya feets too big
Hey,
Where'd ya get em
Your (???) extremities really are obnoxious

Swinging on a star
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain lazy with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
Interlude
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

GLINDA
(spoken) Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City:
TOURISTS
One short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
Full of so much to do
Ev'ry way
That you look in the city
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through
ELPHABA
There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees
GLINDA
Dress salons
ELPHABA
And libraries
GLINDA
Palaces!
ELPHABA
Museums!
BOTHA hundred strong:
There are wonders like I've never seen
GLINDA
It's all grand
ELPHABA
And it's all green!
BOTH
I think we've found the place where we belong!
I wanna be
In this hoi polloi
ELPHABA
So I'll be back for good someday
BOTH
To make my life and make my way
But for today, we'll wander and enjoy:
ALL
One short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
To have a lifetime of fun
One short day
ELPHABA AND GLINDA
And we're warning the city
Now that we're in here
You'll know we've been here
ALL
Before we are done!
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie - come on - we'll be late for Wizomania!
WIZOMANIA CHORUS
Who's the mage
Whose major itinerary
Is making all Oz merrier?
Who's the sage
Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?
Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo - oo -oo
Wizn't he wonderful?
(Our wonderful Wizard!)
AUDIENCE WIZOMANIA CHORUS
One short day Who's the mage
In the Emerald City Whose major itinerary
One short day Is making all Oz merrier
To have a lifetime Whose the sage who
Of fun Sagely sailed in to save
What a way Our posteriors
To be seeing the city:
ELPHABA AND GLINDA
Where so many roam to
We'll call it home, too
And then, just like now
We can say:
We're just two friends
ELPHABA
Two good friends
GLINDA
Two best friends
ALL
Sharing one wonderful
One short:
GUARD
(spoken) The Wizard will see you now!
ALL
Day!
The Wizard and I
MADAME MORRIBLE:
(spoken)
Oh, Miss Elphaba
(sung/spoken)
Many years I have waited
For a gift like yours to appear
Why, I predict the Wizard
Could make you his
Magic grand vizier!
My dear, my dear
I'll write at once to the Wizard
Tell him of you in advance
With a talent like yours, dear
There is a defint-ish chance
If you work as you should
You'll be making good:
ELPHABA:
Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried
To suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
Help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So I'll make good;
When I meet the Wizard,
Once I prove my worth,
And then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since,
(Spoken: Since birth!)
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
By my looks, he won't be blinded.
Do you think the Wizard is (Spoken: dumb?)
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
(Spoken: No!) He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are -
A girl on whom I can rely!"
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I:
Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cuz once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange!
No father is not proud of you,
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand and hand -
The Wizard and I!
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,
A girl who is so superior,
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris.
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?"
And though of course,
That's not important to me.
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and I;
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and...
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do with me!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard,
Feeling things I've never felt.
And though I'd never show it,
I'll be so happy, I could melt!
And so it will be
For the rest of my life,
And I'll want nothing else
Till I die.
Held in such high esteem.
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team;
The Wizard
And I!!!!
No One Mourns the Wicked
CITIZENS OF OZ:
Good news! She's dead!
The Witch of the West is dead!
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz
Is Dead!
Good news!
Good news!
Ozian:
(spoken) Look! It's Glinda!
GLINDA
(spoken) Fellow Ozians:
(sung) Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and -
Ozian(Male or Female):
No one mourns the Wicked
Ozian(Female):
No one cries "They won't return!"
Ozians:
No one lays a lily on their grave
Ozian(male):
The good man scorns the Wicked!
Ozians(female):
Through their lives, our children learn
Ozians:
What we miss, when we misbehave:
GLINDA:
And Goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
It just shows when you're Wicked
You're left only
On your own
Ozians:
Yes, Goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked cry alone
Nothing grows for the Wicked
They reap only
What they've sown
GLINDA:
(spoken)
Are people born Wicked? Or do they have
Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had
a father. She had a mother, as so many do:
FATHER(Frex):
How I hate to go and leave you lonely.
MOTHER(Melena):
That's alright - it's only just one night.
FATHER(Frex):
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight.
GLINDA:
(spoken)
And like every family - they had their secrets...
LOVER:
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
I've got one more night left, here in town
So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another swallow, little lady,
And follow me down...
GLINDA:
(spoken) And of course, from the moment she was born,
she was - well - different
MIDWIFE(Nanny):
It's coming
FATHER(Frex):
Now?
MIDWIFE(Nanny):
The baby's coming
FATHER(Frex):
And how!
MIDWIFE(Nanny) AND FATHER(Frex):
I see a nose
I see a curl
It's a healthy, perfect,
Lovely, little -
MIDWIFE(Nanny):
AAAHHH!!!!
FATHER(Frex):
(spoken) Sweet Oz!
MOTHER(Melena):
(spoken) What is it? what's wrong?
MIDWIFE(Nanny):
How can it be?
FATHER(Frex):
What does it mean?
MIDWIFE(Nanny):
It's atrocious
FATHER(Frex):
It's obscene!
MIDWIFE(Nanny) AND FATHER(Frex):
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally
ALL
Green!
FATHER(Frex)
(spoken) Take it away; take it away!
GLINDA:
(spoken)
So you see - it couldn't have been easy!
Ozian:
No one mourns the Wicked!
Now at last, she's dead and gone!
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
And Goodness knows(Glinda: Echo)
We know what Goodness is(Glinda:Echo)
Goodness knows(Glinda:Echo)
The Wicked die alone
GLINDA:
She died alone:
Ozian:
Woe to those
Who spurn what Goodness
They are shown
No one mourns the Wicked
GLINDA:
Good news!
Ozians:
No one mourns the Wicked!
GLINDA:
Good news!
Ozians and Glinda)
No one mourns the Wicked! Wicked! Wicked!
Evita
You Must Love Me
Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you
Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?
[Bridge:]
Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
[Chorus:]
You must love me
You must love me
Lyrical dance
Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed
[bridge]
[chorus]
You must love me
Rainbow High
[Eva:]
There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling
[Chorus:]
[Eva's dressers:]
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image
[Eva:]
I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling, I want to be Rainbow High
They must have excitement, and so must I
[Eva's dressers:]
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, image
[Eva:]
I'm their product, it's vital you sell me
So Machiavell me, make an Argentine Rose
I need to be thrilling, I want to be Rainbow High
They need their escape, and so do I
[chorus]
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image
[Eva:]
All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their savior, that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes
To make me fantastic, I have to be Rainbow High
In magical colors
You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town
And I'm not a second-rate queen getting kicks with a crown
Next stop will be Europe
The Rainbow's gonna tour, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Look out, mighty Europe
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Argentina's brand of star quality
Buenos Aires (Dance Only no words)
Don’t Cry For Me
[Eva:]
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
[Chorus:]
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
[chorus]
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Love Heals
Maureen
Like a breath of midnight air. Like a lighthouse, like a prayer.
Angel
Like the flicker and the flare, the sky reveals
Maureen/Angel
Like a walk along the shore that you've walked a thousand times before. Like the
oceans roar.
Maureen
Love heals.
Maureen
There are those who shield their hearts. Those who quit before they start.
Angel
Who've frozen up the part of them that feels.
Background
Don't freeze your heart
Maureen/Angel
In the dark they've lost their sight. Like a ship without a star in the night,
but hold on tight.
Love heals
Maureen:
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Maureen
Hold on to love, it'll keep you strong
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Angel
Hold on to love, and it will bring you home
Maureen/Angel/Ensemble
Love heals when pain's too much to bear.
When you reach out your hand, and only the wind is there.
When life's unfair.
When things like us are not to be.
Love heals when you feel so small, like a grain of sand--like nothing at all.
When you look out at the sea, thats where love will be.
Thats where you'll find me.
Maureen
If you fear the storm ahead
As you lie, you lie awake in bed
And there's no one
No one there to stroke your head
And your mind
Your mind
Your mind reels
If your face is salty wet, and you're drowning in regret, just....
(clapping, beat slows down-various characters)
Don't forget(x4)
Love heals

When you feel like you cant go on
Love heals
Angel
Love, love is gonna carry you home
Love heals

When you feel like, when you feel like you can't go on

Hold onto love and it will lead you home
