Another National Anthem – Assassins[CZOLGOSZ]

I did it because it was wrong for one man to have so much service when other men have none...

[BOOTH]

I did it to bring down the government of Abraham Lincoln and to avenge the ravaged South...

[HINCKLEY]

I did it to prove to her my everlasting love...

[FROMME]

I did it to make them listen to Charlie...

[ZANGARA]

I did it ‘cause my belly was on fire...

[GUITEAU]

I did it to preserve the Union and promote the sale of my book...

[MOORE]

I did it so my friends would know where I was coming from...

[BYCK]

Where’s my prize?

[CZOLGOSZ]

I did it because no one cared about the poor man’s pain...

[MOORE]

I did it so I’d know where I was coming from...

[BYCK]

I want my prize...

[ZANGARA]

I did it ‘cause the bosses made my belly burn...

[HINCKLEY]

I did it so she’d pay attention...

[MOORE]

So I’d have someplace to come from, and someplace to go...

[BYCK]

Don’t I get a prize?

[GUITEAU]

I did it ‘cause they said I’d be Ambassador to France...

[BOOTH]

I did it so they’d suffer in the North the way we’d suffered in the South...

[BYCK]

I deserve a fucking prize!

[FROMME]

I did it so there’d be a trial, and Charlie would get to be a witness, and he’d be on TV, and he’d save the world!

[GUITEAU]

Where’s my prize?

[BYCK]

I did it to make people listen.

[CZOLGOSZ, FROMME]

They promised me a prize...

[HINCKLEY]

Because she wouldn’t take my phone calls-

[ALL (Except Zangara)]

What about my prize?

[ZANGARA]

Because nothing stopped the fire-!

[ALL (Except Byck)]

I want my prize!

[BYCK]

Nobody would listen!

[BALLADEER]

And it didn’t mean a nickel,

You just shed a little blood,

And a lot of people shed a lot of tears.

Yes, you made a little moment

And you stirred a little mud-

But it didn’t fix the stomach

And you’ve drunk you’re drunk your final Bud,

And it didn’t help the workers

And it didn’t heal the country

And it didn’t make them listen

And they never said, “We’re sorry”-

[BYCK]

Yeah, it’s never gonna happen,

Is it?

No, sir-

[CZOLGOSZ]

Never.

[BYCK]

No, we’re never gonna get the prize-

[FROMME]

No one listens...

[BYCK]

Are we?

[ZANGARA]

Never.

[BYCK]

No, it doesn’t make a bit of difference,

Does it?

[OTHERS (Variously)]

Didn’t.

Ever.

[BYCK]

Fuck it!

[OTHERS]

Spread the word

[ALL]

Where’s my prize?

[BALLADEER]

I just heard

On the news

Where the mailman won the lottery.

Goes to show:

When you lose, what you do is try again.

You can be

What you choose,

From a mailman to a president.

There are prizes all around you,

If you’re wise enough to see:

The delivery boy’s on Wall Street,

And the usherette’s a rock star-

[BYCK]

Right! It’s never gonna happen, is it?

Is it!?

[HINCKLEY, FROMME]

No, man!

[BYCK, CZOLGOSZ]

No, we’ll never see the day arrive-

[ASSASSINS (Variously)]

Spread the word...

Will we?

No, sir-

Never!

No one’s ever even gonna care if we’re alive,

Are they?...

Never...

Spread the word...

We’re alive...

Someone’s gonna listen...

Listen!

[BYCK]

Listen...

There’s another national anthem playing,

Not the one you cheer

At the ball park.

[MOORE]

Where’s my prize?

[BYCK]

It’s the other national anthem, saying,

If you want to hear-

It says, “Bullshit!”

[CZOLGOSZ]

It says, “Never!”-

[GUITEAU]

It says, “Sorry!”-

[OTHERS]

Loud and clear-

[ASSASSINS (Variously)]

It says: Listen

To the tune that keeps sounding

In the distance, on the outside,

Coming through the ground,

To the hearts that go on pounding

To the sound

Getting louder every year-

Listen to the sound...

Take a look around...

We’re the other national anthem, folks,

The ones that can’t get in

To the ball park.

[GUITEAU]

Spread the word...

[ASSASSINS]

There’s another national anthem, folks,

For those who never win,

For the suckers, for the pikers,

For the ones who might have been...

[BALLADEER]

There are those who love regretting,

There are those who like extremes,

There are those who thrive on chaos

And despair.

There are those who keep forgetting

How the country’s built on dreams-

[ASSASSINS]

People listen...

[BALLADEER]

And the mailman won the lottery

[ASSASSINS]

They might not want to hear it,

But they listen,

Once they thinks it’s gonna stop the game...

[BALLADEER]

And the usherette’s a rock star.

[ASSASSINS]

No, they may not understand

All the words,

All the same

They hear the music...

They hear the screams...

[BALLADEER]

I’ve got news-

[ASSASSINS]

They hear the sobs,

They hear the drums...

[BALLADEER]

You forgot about the country

[ASSASSINS]

The muffled drums,

The muffled dreams...

[BALLADEER]

So it’s now forgotten you

[ASSASSINS]

And they rise...

[BYCK]

You know why I did it?

Because there isn’t any

Santa Claus!

[ASSASSINS]

Where’s my prize?

[BALLADEER]

And you forgot-

[ASSASSINS]

What’s my prize?

[BALLADEER]

How quick it heals

[ASSASSINS]

Promises and lies...

[BALLADEER]

That it’s a place

Where you can make the lies come true

[ASSASSINS]

Spread the word...

[BALLADEER]

If you try [ASSASSINS]

Gotta spread the word...

[BALLADEER]

That’s all you have to do

[ASSASSINS]

Right,

All you have to do...

Well, there’s another national anthem,

And I think it just began

In the ball park.

Listen hard...

Like the other national anthem

Say to each and every fan:

If you can’t do what you want to,

Then you do the things you can.

You’ve got to try again!

Like they say,

You’ve go to keep on trying

Every day

Until you get a prize...

Until you get a prize...

Until you’re heard...

Musn’t get discouraged...

Spread the word...

Mustn’t give up hope...

Up to you-

Don’t say-

What you choose...

It’s never gonna happen...

Spread the word...

[ALL]

You can always get a prize...

[BOOTH]

You can always get your dream...

[BYCK] Sure, the mailman won the lottery...

[YOUNGER BROTHER]

Mother’s Younger Brother was in love with Evelyn Nesbit. From his regular seat in the front row of the second balcony, he would lean far over the railing, hoping his goddess would notice him. One night he almost he almost fell. Evelyn caught sight of him and smiled. Life was suddenly wonderful and full of delicious possibilities.

And the Money Kept Rolling In (And Out) – Evita[CHE]

Forgive my intrusion, but as fine as those sentiments sound

Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground

I hate to seem churlish, ungrateful, I don’t like to moan

But do you now represent anyone’s cause but your own?

[EVA]

Everything done will be justified by my foundation!

[CHE]

And the money kept rolling in from every side

Eva’s pretty hands reached out and they reached wide

Now you may feel it should have been a voluntary cause

But that’s not the point my friends

When the money keeps rolling in, you don’t ask how

Think of all the people guaranteed a good time now

Eva’s called the hungry to her, open up the doors

Never been a fund like the Foundation Eva Peron

[WORKERS]

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’

[CHE and WORKERS]

Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in

Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in

On in

[CHE]

Would you like to try a college education?

Own your landlord’s house, take the family on vacation?

Eva and her blessed fund can make your dreams come true

Here’s all you have to do my friends

Write your name and your dream on a card or a pad or a ticket

Throw it high in the air and should our lady pick it

She will change your way of life for a week or even two

Name me anyone who cares as much as Eva Peron

[WORKERS]

Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out

Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out

On out

[CHE]

And the money kept rolling out in all directions

To the poor, to the weak, to the destitute of all complexions

Now cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray

But that’s not the point my friends

When the money keeps rolling out you don’t keep books

You can tell you’ve done well by the happy grateful looks

Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way

Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron

[WORKERS]

Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out

Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out

On out

[CHE]

Eva!!!

If the money keeps rolling in what’s a girl to do?

Cream a little off the top for expenses--wouldn’t you?

But where on Earth can people hide their little piece of Heaven?

Thank God for Switzerland!

Where a girl and a guy with a little petty cash between them

Can be sure when they deposit no-one’s seen them

Oh what bliss to sign your checks as three-o-one-two-seven

Never been accounts in the name of Eva Peron!

[WORKERS]

Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in

Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in

Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in

On in!

A New Argentina – Evita [PERON]Dice are rolling, the knives are outWould be presidents are all around

I don’t say they mean harm, but they’d each give an arm

To see us six feet under ground[EVA]It doesn’t matter what those morons say

Our nation’s leaders are a feeble crewThere’s only twenty of them anyway

What is twenty next to millions whoAre looking to you?

All you have to do is sit and waitKeeping out of everybody’s way

We’ll--you’ll be handed power on a plate

When the ones who matter have their say

And with chaos installedYou can reluctantly agree to be called

[PERON]There again we could be foolish

Not to quit while we’re aheadFor distance lends enchantment

And that is whyAll exiles are distinguished

More important they’re not deadI could find job satisfaction

In Paraguay[EVA]This is crazy defeatist talkWhy commit political suicide?

There’s no risk, there’s no callFor any action at all

When you have unions on your side[MOB]Peron! Peron! Peron! Peron![CHE]

[CHE]A new Argentina!

A new age about to begin!A new Argentina!

We face the world together and no dissent within

[CHE]It’s annoying that we have to fight elections for their causeThe inconvenience--having to get a majority.

If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applauseThere are other ways of establishing authority[THUGS]We have ways of making you vote for us, or at least of making you abstain.

[EVA]Peron has resigned from the army and this we avowThe descamisados are those he is marching with now!He supports you for he loves you, understands you,Is one of you

If not--how could he love me?[ALL]A new Argentina!The chains of the masses untied!

A new Argentina!The voice of the people cannot be, and must not be, denied![CHE]How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause

The Night That Goldman Spoke at Union Square – Ragtime (crowd cheering and shouting)[EMMA GOLDMAN]I have just arrived from Lawrence, Massachusetts where, eight weeks ago, the workers there went on strike. They are starving, their children are dying but they are holding firm and we must support them![YOUNGER BROTHER]It was winter in New YorkAs the snow began to fall.

And the workmen’s hall had not a seat to spare.When the young man stepped inside,

Just to warm himself, was all,The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square.

[EMMA]What is happening in Lawrence is happening everywhere. Let us at last make this the land of opportunity for all people, not just the owners. The land of opportunity for Tateh and his little girl. We cannot rest!

[YOUNGER BROTHER]She was speaking loud and fast

Through a haze of noise and heatAnd the smell of sweat and anger in the air.

The police were standing byBut the crowd was on its feet

The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square.[EMMA]You![YOUNGER BROTHER]He thought he heard her say...[EMMA]What brings you here today?[EMMA, RALLYERS]Poor young rich boy![EMMA]Masturbates for a Vaudeville tart!What a waste of a fiery heart,

Come to Emma and you’ll be taughtHere!

[YOUNGER BROTHER]His head was spinning!

[EMMA, RALLYERS]People feathered and tarred, my friend.

Unions broken and why for?Children laboring, women still enslaved!

Leave your little backyard my friend.There are causes to die for!

[RALLYERS]Strike!

[YOUNGER BROTHER]In the gutters of the city

I have tried to find some meaning.[RALLYERS]Strike![YOUNGER BROTHER]In the arms of fallen women.In the thought of suicide.

[RALLYERS]Strike!

Wanting life but neverknowing how...

Rainbow Tour – Evita[PERON]

People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina

[CHE]

Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita

She can do what she wants, it doesn’t matter much

[AIDE #1]

She’s the new world Madonna world with a golden touch

[AIDE #2]

She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater.

[CHE]

But if you’re prettier than General Franco, that’s not hard

[AIDE #1]

Franco’s reign in Spain should see out the forties

So you’ve just acquired an ally who

Looks as secure in his job as you

[AIDE #2]

But more important current political thought is

Your wife’s a phenomenal asset, your trump card

[PERON AND AIDES]

Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour

It’s been an incredible success

We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts

[PERON]

Would Evita win through?

[AIDES]

But the answer is yes

[EVA]

There you are. I told you so

Makes no difference where we goes

The whole world over just the same

You should have heard them call our name

And who would underestimate the actress now?

[PERON]

I’m not underestimating you, Just do the same thing in Italy please?

[CHE]

Now I don’t like to spoil a wonderful story

But the news from Rome is not so good

[PERON]

She hasn’t gone down like we thought she would

[CHE]

Italy’s unconvinced by Argentine glory

They equate Peron with Mussolini, can’t think why

[EVA]

Did you hear that? They called me a whore!

They actually called me a whore!

[ITALIAN ADMIRAL]

But Signora Peron it’s an easy mistake

I’m still called an Admiral

Yet I gave up the sea long ago

[AIDE #2]

Things aren’t all that bad; she met with the Pope.

She got a papal decoration and a kindly word

[CHE]

So even if the crowds gave our lady the bird

The Italy Argentine axis does have some hope!

[AIDE #1]

She still looked the part at St. Peter’s, caught the eye.

[ALL]

Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour

It’s been an incredible success

We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts

[PERON]

Would Evita win through?

[AIDES]

But the answer is

[CHE]

A qualified

[AIDES]

Yes

[CHE]

Eva started well, no question, in France

Shining like the sun through the post-war haze,

A beautiful reminder of the care-free days

She nearly captured the French, she sure had the chance

But she suddenly seemed to lose interest

She looked tired

[PERON]

Tired? Tired? Eva, tired?

[CHE]

Face the facts, the Rainbow’s starting to fade

I don’t think she’ll make it to England now

[AIDE #1]

It wasn’t on the schedule anyhow.

[CHE]

You’d better get out the flags and fix a parade

Some kind of coming home triumph is required

[ALL]

Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour

It’s been an incredible success

We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts

[AIDE #2]

Would Evita win through?

[AIDE #1]

But the answer is

[AIDE #2]

Yes

[CHE]

And no

Razzle Dazzle – Chicago[BILLY] (Spoken)

Roxie, you got nothing to worry about.

It’s all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.

These trials- the whole world- all show business.

But kid, you’re working with a star.

Give ‘em the old razzle dazzle

Razzle Dazzle ‘em,

Give ‘em an act with lots of flash in it

And the reaction will be passionate

Give ‘em the old hocus pocus

Bead and feather ‘em

How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?

What if, in fact, you’re just disgusting?

Razzle dazzle ‘em

And they’ll never catch wise!

(Shouting and the sound of flashbulbs popping)

Give ‘em the old Razzle dazzle

[BILLY and COMPANY]

Razzle dazzle ‘em

Give ‘em a show that’s so splendiferous

[BILLY]

Row after row will crow vociferous

[BILLY and COMPANY]

Give ‘em the old flim flam flummox

Fool and fracture ‘em

[BILLY]

How can they hear the truth above the roar?

[BACKUP SINGERS]

Roar, roar, roar.

[BILLY and COMPANY]

Throw ‘em a fake and a finagle

They’ll never know you’re just a bagel

[BILLY]

Razzle dazzle ‘em

And they’ll beg you for more!

[BILLY and COMPANY]

Give ‘em the old double whammy

Daze and dizzy ‘em

Razzle Dazzle ‘em

Back since the days of old Methuselah

Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give ‘em the old three ring circus

Stun and stagger ‘em

When you’re in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder

They let you get away with murder

Razzle dazzle ‘em

And you’ve got a romance

Give ‘em the old

Razzle Dazzle

[BILLY]

Razzle dazzle ‘em

Show ‘em the first rate sorcerer you are,

Long as you keep them way off balance

How can they spot you’ve got no talents?

Razzle dazzle ‘em

[COMPANY]

Razzle dazzle ‘em

[BILLY]

Razzle dazzle ‘em

[MARY SUNSHINE] (spoken)

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Roxy Hart takes the stand in her own defense.

[BILLY AND COMPANY]

And they’ll make you a star!

Something Just Broke – Asssassins[WOMAN 1]

I was out

In the yard,

Taking down the bed sheets,

When my neighbor yelled across:

[PROPRIETOR]

“The president’s been shot.”

[WOMAN 1]

I remember where I was,

Just exactly where I was,

In the yard out back--

[PROPRIETOR]

“The president’s been shot.”

[MAN 1]

I was getting me a shoeshine--

[WOMAN 1]

Folding sheets--

[MAN 1]

When I heard--

[WOMAN 2]

We were waiting for a carriage--

[MAN 1]

Newsboys--

[WOMAN 2]

Suddenly there’s shouting in the street--

[WOMAN 1]

Lizzie’s sheets...

[THE PROPRIETOR]

“The president’s been shot.”

[WOMAN 2]

I’ll remember it forever--

[WOMAN 1]

And I thought:

[WOMAN 2 and MAN 1]

Where I was, what I was doing--

[WOMAN 1]

Something just broke

[PROPRIETOR]

“The president’s been shot.”

[MAN 1]

My God--!

[MAN 2]

I was up near the ridge,

Plowing--

[MAN 3]

We were working at the plant--

[WOMAN 2]

I was halfway through correcting the exams--

[MAN 2]

When my wife--

[MAN 3]

It was Mike--

[MAN 2]

She comes tearing ‘cross the field--

[MAN 3]

Mike the foreman--

[WOMAN 2]

In runs Billy--

[MAN 3]

I mean, he was crying--

[WOMAN 2]

He was crying--

[MAN 2]

She was crying--

[WOMAN 2, MAN 2 and MAN 3]

I’ll remember it forever...

[WOMAN 1]

And I thought:

[PROPRIETOR]

“The president’s been shot.”

[WOMAN 1]

You know what?

There are presidents who aren’t worth a lot.

[WOMAN 2, MAN 2 and MAN 3]

I kept thinking:

[WOMAN 1]

There’s the kind that gets elected, then forgot.

[MAN 1 and WOMAN 1]

Mr. Garfield--

[WOMAN 2]

Mr. Lincoln

[MAN 1 and WOMAN 1]

He’s a hack.

[MAN 3 and WOMAN 1]

Bill McKinley--

[WOMAN 2]

He’s a giant.

[MAN 1, MAN 3 and WOMAN 1]

He’s a joke.

[WOMAN 1]

Still, something just broke...

[PROPRIETOR]

“The president is rallying.”

“The president is sinking.”

“The president is dead.”

[WOMAN 1]

Something just broke.

[MAN 2]

I was down at the Exchange...

[WOMAN 1]

Something just made a little dent.

[WOMAN 2]

I’d been shopping...

[MAN 1]

I’d been sick...

[WOMAN 1]

Something just broke--

[MAN 3]

All I know, it was a Friday...

[WOMAN 1]

Only for a moment.

[MAN1, MAN 2, MAN 3 and BOY]

I remember it exactly...

[WOMAN 1]

Something got bent.

[WOMAN 2]

I’m taking the order...

[WOMAN 1]

Something just left a little mark.

[BOY]

I was getting dressed...

[WOMAN 2]

Two potato soups...

[WOMAN 1]

Something just went a little dark.

Something just went.

[MAN 2]

And I wondered:

[WOMAN 2]

I was scared--

[MAN 2 and WOMAN 2]

What would follow...

[WOMAN 1]

Something to be mended.

[MAN 1]

Made me wonder who we are...

[WOMAN 1]

Something we’ll have to weather--

[MAN 2]

It was seeing all those torches...

[WOMAN 1]

Bringing us all together--

[MAN 2]

He was me...

[MAN 3]

He was us...

[WOMAN 1]

--If only for a moment...

[ALL]

I’ll remember it forever...

[WOMAN 1]

Nothing has really ended—

[MAN 1, MAN 2, MAN 3 and BOY]

Where I was, what I was doing...

[WOMAN 1]

Only just be suspended...

[MAN 1, MAN 2, MAN 3 and BOY]

Like a flash...

[WOMAN 1]

‘Cause something just stirred...

[VARIOUS]

And I thought

And I thought to myself

And I thought

And I thought

I kept thinking

[WOMAN 1]

Something just woke.

[ALL]

Something just spoke,

Something I wish I hadn’t heard,

Something bewildering occurred.

[BOY and MAN 2]

Fix it up fast,

Please—

[MAN 2 and MAN 3]

‘Til it’s just smoke.

[WOMAN 1 and WOMAN 2]

‘Til it’s only “Something just passed”--

--Nothing that will last.

[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, and MAN 1]

Where I was, what I was doing...

[MAN 2, MAN 3 and BOY]

Nothing but the moment...

[WOMAN 2]

Just an awful moment...

[WOMAN 1]

But something just--

The Time Warp – Rocky Horror Show[RIFF RAFF]

It’s astounding, time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely –

[MAGENTA]

Not for very much longer

[RIFF RAFF]

I’ve got to keep control.

I remember doing the Time Warp

Drinking those moments when

The blackness would hit me

[RIFF RAFF and MAGENTA]

And the void would be calling

[ALL]

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

[CRIMINOLOGIST]

It’s just a jump to the left

[ALL]

And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-ght

[CRIMINOLOGIST]

With your hands on your hips

[ALL]

You bring your knees in tight

But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

[MAGENTA]

It’s so dreamy! Oh fantasy free me,

So you can’t see me, no not at all.

In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,

Well-secluded, I see all.

[RIFF RAFF]

With a bit of a mind flip

[MAGENTA]

You’re into the time slip

[RIFF]

And nothing can ever be the same

[MAGENTA]

You’re spaced out on sensation –

[RIFF RAFF]

Like you’re under sedation!

[ALL]

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

[COLUMBIA]

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think

When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink

He shook me up, he took me by surprise

He had a pickup truck and the devil’s eyes.

He stared at me and I felt a change

Time meant nothing, never would again

[ALL]

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

[CRIMINOLOGIST]

It’s just a jump to the left

[ALL]

And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-ght

[CRIMINOLOGIST]

Put your hands on your hips

[ALL]

You bring your knees in tight

But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

(Instrumental break where COLUMBIA tap dances.)

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Hot Patootie (Whatever Happened to Saturday Night?) – Rocky Horror Show[EDDIE]

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright

It don’t seem the same since cosmic light

Came into my life, I thought I was divine

I used to go for a ride with any chick who would go

And listen to the music on the radio

A saxophone was blowing on a Rock and Roll show

We climbed in the back seat, really had a good time!

[EDDIE with ALL]

Hot patootie, bless my soul

Really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

(Eddie plays a saxophone solo.)

[EDDIE]

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled

My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt

I’d taste her baby pink lipstick and that’s when I’d melt

She’d whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine

Get back in front an’ put some hair oil on

Buddy Holly was singing his very last song

With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along

It felt pretty good...Woo!

You really had a good time

[EDDIE with ALL]

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

(Eddie plays another saxophone solo)

[EDDIE with ALL]

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

You Can’t Stop the Beat – Hairspray[TRACY]

You can’t stop an avalanche

As it races down the hill

You can try to stop the seasons, girl

But you know you never will

And you can try to stop my dancin’ feet

But I just cannot stand still

Cause the world keeps a spinnin’

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

[TRACY and LINK]

Cause you can’t stop the beat

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 can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the sun in the sky

You can wonder if you wanna

But I’ll never ask why

And if you try to hold me down

I’m gonna spit in your eye and say

That you can’t stop the beat!

[TRACY] (spoken)

What’dya have to say Penny?

[PENNY] (spoken)

I am now a checkerboard chick!

[PENNY]

You can’t stop a river

As it rushes to the sea

[SEAWEED]

You can try and stop the hands of time

But you know it just won’t be

[PENNY]

And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,

I’ll call the N Double A C P

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

[PENNY & SEAWEED]

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat

[LINK, TRACY, PENNY and SEAWEED]

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 can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

You can try to stop the paradise

We’re dreamin’ of

But you cannot stop the rhythm

Of two hearts in love to stay

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat!

[EDNA] (spoken)

Tracy, I have a little something I’d like to add if you don’t mind.

[EDNA]

You can’t 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 damn!

[EDNA and ENSEMBLE]

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!

[EDNA & COMPANY]

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat

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 can’t 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 can’t stop the beat!

[EDNA] (spoken)

Wilbur, be a dear, fetch some oxygen now!

[MOTORMOUTH] (spoken)

Step aside, Miss Buttercup... it’s

time to wrap this mutha’ up!

[MOTORMOUTH]

Oh oh oh

You can’t stop today

[ALL]

No!

As it comes speeding down the track

[ALL]

Ooh-ooh-ooh child yes!

[MOTORMOUTH]

Child, yesterday is hist’ry

[ALL]

Be gone!

[MOTORMOUTH]

And it’s never coming back!

[ALL]

Look ahead!

[MOTORMOUTH and ENSEMBLE]

Look ahead, ‘cause tomorrow is a brand new day

[MOTORMOUTH]

And it don’t know white from black

[ENSEMBLE]

Yeah!

[MOTORMOUTH and ENSEMBLE]

‘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

[ALL]

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 can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

They can try to stop the paradise

We’re dreaming of

But you cannot stop the rhythm

Of two hearts in love to stay

You can’t stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah

Come on, you Von Tussles

Go on, shake your fanny muscles!

[VELMA & AMBER]

We can’t!

[ALL]

Yes, you can!

[VELMA & AMBER]

No, we can’t!

[ALL]

Yes, you can!

[VELMA & AMBER]

Yes, we can...!!!

[ALL]

You can’t stop the beat

[VELMA & AMBER]

Ever since we first saw the sun

It seems Von Tussle girls are always

Tryin’ to please someone

But now we’re gonna shake and shimmy it

And have some fun

Today!

[ALL]

You can’t stop

The motion of the ocean

Or the rain from above

You can try to stop the paradise

We’re dreaming of

But you cannot stop the rhythm

Of two hearts in love to stay

‘Cause you can’t stop the beat!

You can’t stop the beat!!

You can’t stop the beat!!

You can’t stop the beat!!

You can’t stop the beat!!
