Antipholus of Syracuse sings as the Sergeant drags him off to jail.
View Lyrics
Come with me Where the food is free Where the landlord never comes near you Be a guest in a house of rest Where the best of fellows can cheer you.
There's your own little room So cool, not too much light Where you're one man for whom No wife who waits up at night
When day ends You have lots of friends Who will guard you well while you slumber Safe from battle and strife Safe from the wind and gale Come with me to jail

You'll never have to fetch the milk Or walk the dog at early dawn There's no -"Get up- you're late for work!" While you rest in the pearly dawn You're never bored by politics You're privileged to miss a row Of tragedies by Sophocles And diatribes by Cicero

Your brother's wife will never come On Sunday noon to bring to you Her little son who plays the lute, Her little girl to sing to you

You can commit you little "sins" And relatives won't yell "Fie!" You needn't take the annual trip To the oracle at Delphi You snore and swear and stretch and yawn In this, your strictly male house

The only way that sinners go to Heaven Is in the jail house!

After Jenny breaks off with the man that Joe thought she would leave him for, Joe sings of his affection for Jenny.
View Lyrics
You are never away
From your home in my heart; There is never a day
When you don't play a part
In a word that I say,
Or a sight that I see. You are never away And I'll never be free.

You're the smile on my face, Or a song that I sing; You're a rainbow I chase On a morning in Spring; You're a star in the lace Of a wild willow tree, In the green leafy lace Of a wild willow tree.

But tonight you're no star, Nor a song that I sing. In my arms where you are, You are sweeter than Spring;

In my arms where you are Clinging closely to me, You are lovelier by far, Than I dreamed you could be. You are lovelier, my darling Than I dreamed You could be!

When I was very young, I had a perfect life. My Pa a perfect husband and my Ma a perfect wife. And everyday my life went by so perfectly? I made a perfect plan, I dreamed some perfect dreams. But now I look around, my dreams are splitting at the seams! I made one big decision and now look at me? When I do something wrong I do it perfectly?

My big mistake, Roping you in. I got my wish, Now I can't win. I thought once I caught you you'd quit your roamin' But I'm the one who's caught in a world I'm not at home in!

My big mistake, Thinking you'd change. Fancyin' life Home on the range. 'Cause I like days, I'll carefully reckon You live life from second to second Yet just touch me, and there's no other choice I'd make I love my big mistake!

I like days, I'll carefully reckon You live life from second to second Yet just touch me, and there's no other choice I'd make? I love my big mistake!

Berthe, Pippin's grandmother, reminds him to worry less and live a little.
View Lyrics
BERTHE When you are as old as I, my dear And I hope that you never are You will woefully wonder why, my dear Through your cataracts and catarrh You could squander away or sequester A drop of a precious year For when your best days are yester The rest'er twice as dear....
What good is a field on a fine summer night If you sit all alone with the weeds? Or a succulent pear if with each juicy bite You spit out your teeth with the seeds? Before it's too late stop trying to wait For fortune and fame you're secure of For there's one thing to be sure of, mate: There's nothing to be sure of!
Oh, it's time to start livin' Time to take a little from this world we're given Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall In just no time at all....
I've never wondered if I was afraid When there was a challenge to take I never thought about how much I weighed When there was still one piece of cake
Maybe it's meant the hours I've spent Feeling broken and bent and unwell But there's still no cure sole heaven-sent As the chance to raise some hell Everybody....
ALL Oh, it's time to start livin' Time to take a little from this world we're given Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall In just no time at all....
BERTHE
Now, Sages tweet that age is sweet Good deeds and good work earns you laurels But what could make you feel more obsolete Than being noted for your morals?
Give me a man who is handsome and strong Someone who's stalwart and steady Give me a night that's romantic and long And give me a month to get ready
Now I could waylay some aging roue And persuade him to play in some cranny But it's hard to believe I'm being led astray By a man who calls me granny
ALL Oh, it's time to start livin' Time to take a little from this world we're given Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all....
BERTHE So when the drearies do attack And a siege of the sads begins I just throw these regal shoulders back And lift these noble chins
Here is a secret I never have told Maybe you'll understand why I believe if I refuse to grow old I can stay young till I die
Now, I've known the fears of sixty-six years I've had troubles and tears by the score But the only thing I'd trade them for Is sixty-seven more...
ALL Oh, it's time to start livin' Time to take a little from this world we're given Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all....
BERTHE Oh, it's time to start livin' Time to keep takin' from this world we're given You are my time, so I'll throw off my shawl And watching your flings be flung all over Makes me feel young all over
ALL In just no time at all!

Sarah Crewe vents her frustration about her caretaker Miss Minchin.
View Lyrics
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud

Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud I need to be as free As I know how to be I want to live out loud

Every day – sleep, walk, lock, step No one dares to stray Though they may – straightlaced, shamefaced Long to break away They’re as lonely as can be Is that what they want from me?

I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud

Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud Nobody wants me here But I won’t be disappear I want to live out loud

I want to run down an open shoreline I want to join in a moonlit dance I want to swing from the branches of a tree I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet And let the breeze come and dry my hair I want the life they took away from me

If they makes me headstrong – fine! That’s a fault I’m glad is mine.

I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want my spirit broken and bowed Why do I have to hide what I’m feeling inside I want to live out loud

Don’t want to be alone in the crowd I only want what I’m not allowed Give me the wings of a bird I’ll be seen and be heard

I want to sing when my heart is full I want to sing and I want to fly I want to soar the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud.

Lily, who is married, flirts with a thief at a nightclub.
View Lyrics
THE WIFE: (sung) Friday night down on Houston, In a spot called Bamboo Jack’s, Everyone was doin’ the mambo And drinkin’ Golden Cadillacs. Sally was there with her Daddy. But Daddy was in a funk ‘Cause Sally met up with and took a shine To a hunk from East Podunk. And Daddy cried, “Hey, Whatcha doin’ watcha doin’? What’s he got I don’t got? All I see’s American cheese. He’ll melt when you get hot.”

And Sally said: “I see what I wanna see. I know what I wanna know. I don’t need you To tell me what’s true If you don’t like it, Daddy, You can blow, blow, blow, blow, blow!”

Saturday night at the same place. They roll up the bamboo rug. Everyone was doin’ the limbo, Except Sally and her Podunk Plug. Seems he took a shine to some chicken Shakin’ her tom-tom-tom. Sally saw that and—guacamole— She exploded like the hydrogen bomb.

She cried, “Hey, hey watcha doin’ watcha doin’? What’s she got that I lack? That chicken is thin And meaner than sin And uglier than Bamboo Jack!”

The Husband/The Band: (sung) And he said!

The Wife: (sung) “I see what I wanna see I know what I wanna know. I don’t need you To tell me what’s true If you don’t like it, baby, You can blow blow blow blow blow blow blow blow!

I see what I wanna see I know what I wanna know I don’t need you To tell me what’s true – If you don’t like it baby baby baby baby ba-ba-baby you can blow!”

Julia, a waitress, sings about how she can't wait to get married.
View Lyrics
(Spoken) JULIA Did you see the bride? She looks so perfect.

HOLLY I know. Don’t you hate her?

JULIA Hate her? She’s so happy!

(Sung) She turns around And she meets his gaze The lights are dim, There’s a smoky haze They share a smile And a secret wave It’s a moment built to save They start to move Across the floor The room is frozen, Wanting more The happy couple on display With nothing standing In their way It’s so romantic I could die Right here and now It’s gonna be that way for us I know somehow Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you

(Spoken) HOLLY Julia, take that veil off!

JULIA Okay!

(Sung) They stop and pose For a photograph He jokes around Just to make her laugh The room is full, But they’re all alone They have a language All their own And I’m so jealous I could cry And yet I know It won’t be long Before you say We’re good to go Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true All you’ll need is me And all I’ll need is you I know not every marriage Lasts when things go bad I’ve seen the warning signs I call them “Mom” and “Dad” But soon you’ll take my hand And pledge your love to me Till then I’ll just get married vicariously

JULIA & WOMEN Someday when it’s me I’ll know our love Was meant to be

JULIA Not one single complication Or cause for hesitation Someday when the dream Is coming true

WOMEN Is coming true

JULIA All you’ll need is me

WOMEN All you’ll need is me

JULIA & WOMEN And all I’ll need is you!

View Lyrics
Listen to me, I have beautiful dreams I can spin you Dreams to linger within you Close your eyes and we’ll ride my carousel I’ll sing you stories of lovers whose love used to fill me And the lovers who will be For, you see, love is one thing I do well Come, let’s believe love can be just as sweet as it seems Let’s live on dreams!

In my dreams such beautiful lovers have found me Storybook lovers surround me Nothing is real, but I’m flying, sighing Where, where, where is my storybook ending? Why does my golden pretending Leave me with nothing to hold but my dreams? Oh, is it only in dreams that we find our ideal love? Are there lovers with real love? If you know how to feel love, show me now Ah, but my prince, if you can’t be as sweet as you seem I’d rather dream

Come and wake me! Come be the love I can hold now Storybook love leaves me cold now Show me the way to stop dreaming There is only one perfect storybook ending That is the end of pretending That is the moment I say, love me now!

Et sur mon manege, l’amour toujours est chantant De mes reves, c’est le commencement Et j’espere une fin heureuse Mais la fin de l’histoire ne vient pas tres doucement Pour l’histoire, il faut faire semblant Certes je n’embrasse que mes reves Seuls mes reves!

KATE Black is a moocher And I like it like that Three-pocket-poocher And I like it like that

I like him the way that he is He is no’innocent And Christ. He’s guilty where it counts I use him daily in increasin’ amounts And I like it like that Un-huh Un-huh Un-huh Un-huh And I like it like that Mmmhm mmmhm’ I like it like

In the morning light when he rubs his beard Then he touches me; In the afternoon. when he draws my bath Then undresses me; Come round curtain time, when he spends my dough Then he cheats on me; Come the quarter-moon; when he drinks too much Then he cries for me; Breaking a stray in ain’t so hard; Had ta teach him to play in my backyard

Black is a liar And I like it like that Thinks with his wire And I like it like that I’m in for the thrill of the kill’ If I can’t have him Then nobody will.

All I need what I need

Kate I need to feel his touch

All I need I need

Kate I need to feel his sex

All I need to feel your sex I need to hear your name I need your fire I need your breath I need your lust Lust! Lust! Lust!

Context & Lyrics


A woman sings a tongue-in-cheek tribute to her boyfriend, a jazz bassist.
View Lyrics
My scattered life had no foundation Couldn't seem to find my space Then all at once came inspiration Now i'm back on base.

My baby plays a line that subtle Yet it makes the strongest case An argument with no rebuttal Got me back on base.

When his fingers touch my strings I tingle to my teeth I seem to sing the wildest things When he is underneath.

The only worm that's in this eden The only snag in all this lace Is where i stand ain't easy reading When he's back on base.

(scat)

At times he seems a bit elusive Way off in his private place I guess he can't be mine exclusive When he's back on base.

He's got eyes for something tall So maybe i should go Then once more my defences fall When he gets down below oh oh oh oh oh oh

So what if he don't feel like talkin' I'll just let him play his ace And let his fingers do the walkin' 'Til i'm back on...

Always back on... So happy back on base. (scat) We make sweet music when we're both back on base

Context & Lyrics


The Mad Hatter raves on about how she wants to rule Wonderland.
View Lyrics
Well Hello, there, it's me With how it's gonna be, Settle down and listen up good.

The old Hatter is gone But the Hat must go on Worn by me, is that understood?

So shut up and tow the line, While I redefine How this all will be mine.

I have a dream, It's got a full head of steam!

What is true what is not Can both change in a shot And people, me, I couldn't care less.

'Cause in two seconds flat Livin' under my hat Is the strategy for success.

I will look the other way When you want to play Something more than croquet. You catch my drift? My little personal gift!

I'm the Mad Hatter Come and follow me, this is it. The Mad Hatter, All you gotta do is submit.

And if you don't my friend, Well then in the end, There'll be nothing left to defend. Know what I mean? When you are facing the Queen.

Uppercase, double-spaced Everyone gets a taste, And a brand new leather hat band.

But to participate, Let me reiterate You must first put me in command.

I'm the wonder, understand, Under Wonderland, Put the reigns in my hand. I'll do the rest, As soon as you've acquiesced!

I'm the Mad Hatter Offering a little bit more. The Mad Hatter, Giving you what you're looking for.

I am your best worst case For the choice you face, And the fastest rat in the race! It's me or the queen And her serene guillotine.

There is nothing I won't do, There is nothing too taboo, I will lie, I will cheat, I will track you down And then hit delete tout suite!

So sweetie let me repeat... I'm the Mad Hatter, Lend allegiance while you still can, The Mad Hatter More than just a Hat with a plan.

I am where you belong, The right kind of wrong, And I'll still be going real strong!

The bottom line Is everything will be fine. As all the planets align, It's gonna be so divine. When all of this will be MINE!!

Daisy Gamble, a quirky girl, describes her gardening talents and psychic abilities.
View Lyrics
DAISY Talk to flower right here?
DR. MARK You haven't got a thing to fear.
DAISY What if someone should see?
DR. MARK There's no one here but you and me.
DAISY You mean talk just as if they were in this ground. Ok, but please turn around, turn around...
Hey buds below ... up is where to grow Up with which below can't compare with. Hurry - it's lovely up here...
Life down a hole takes an awful toll, What with not a soul there to share with. Hurry - it's lovely up here!
Wake up, bestir yourself, It's time that you disinter yourself You've got a spot to fill - a pot to fill And what a gift package of shower, sun and love You'll be met above everywhere with, Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by, Life here is rosy - if you're a posy Hurry it's lovely here!
Hey, rhododend! Courage, little friend. Ev'rything'll end rhododandy. Hurry! It's lovely up here! Climb up geranium, it can't be fun subterran-ium On the exterior, it's cheerier RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze, Make the queen of bees hot as brandy Push up azalea, don't be a failure!
Come up and see the hoot we're giving! Come up and see the grounds for living! Come poke your head out! Open up and spread out! Hurry it's lovely here!

Context & Lyrics


Fay tells her friend Teddy about how much she loves to flirt.
View Lyrics
If you wanna know why I've a roving eye When another cute guy passes there, I just wanna try before I buy The bargains and husbands ready-to-wear.
'Cause a man isn't like an expensive sweater Or department-store dress on the rack. If you wrap him up and take him home,
And then find something better, Nobody, but nobody, will take him back.
So I'm shopping around, Just looking, Where men are concerned, I'm just shopping around.
A girl must compare Men for wear and for tear Before she buys.
If she wants the best, Then she just has to test All kinds of merchandise.
So while I'm still young, I'm testing. Don't wanna get stung, No, sir, not little me.
There's no guarantee On a bridegroom-to-be, So if you want the best to be found, You gotta keep shopping, Leisurely shopping, Not buying, Just shopping around.

You don't buy the first pair of shoes from the clerk, You don't buy perfume till you spray it. You don't buy a clock till you're sure it will work, You don't buy a piano till you play it. A new vacuum cleaner may be a sensation, But ladies, always get a free trial demonstration.

So while there's a chance, I'm sampling, I'm taking romance In the smorgasbord way. From the last organ note, Love is all table d'hote,

So you must choose the best to be found. That's why I keep shopping, Leisurely shopping, Not buying, Just shopping around.

Ella, a chimney sweeper, is magically turned into the movie star Passionella.
View Lyrics
Look at me I am gorgeous. I am absolutely gorgeous. There's this avalanche of beauty in one woman and I'm it. Ahh. Oh look at the way all of the parts fit together.
Stunning. See the way my nose stopped running. I was positive this creature was there inside here ol' me. All bottled up waiting to get free. Now I see the real me.
Look at this, look at that. Look at those, let me just feel me. Beautiful, glamorous, radiant, ravishing. Look at the hair. Look at this shape. Look everywhere.
I am such a divine me. Every studio will sign me. My cup runneth over. Whoever saw such a complete wow! Nobody will say no to me now. No one, is as, gorgeous, as. Me-Ahhhhhhh.

The cabbie Hildy Esterhazy tries to seduce the sailor Chip and brags about her talents.
View Lyrics
HILDY: Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest, My seafood's the best in the town. And I can cook, too. My fish can't be beat, My sugar's the sweetest around. I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal Right down to the demi-tasse. I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy, Baby, I'm cookin' with gas. Oh, I'm a gumdrop, A sweet lollipop, A brook trout right out of the brook, And what's more, baby, I can cook!
Some girls make magazine covers, Some girls keep house on a dime, Some girls make wonderful lovers, But what a lucky find I'm. I'd make a magazine cover, I do keep house on a dime, I make a wonderful lover, I should be paid overtime!

'Cause I can bake, too, on top of the lot, My oven's the hottest you'll find. Yes, I can roast too, My chickens just ooze, My gravy will lose you your mind. I'm a brand new note On a table d'hote, But just try me? la carte. With a single course You can choke a horse. Baby, you won't know where to start! Oh, I'm an hors d'oeuvre, A jelly preserve, Not in the recipe book, And what's more, baby, I can cook!

Baby, I'm cookin' with gas. Oh, I'm a gumdrop, A sweet lollipop, A brook trout right out of the brook, And what's more, baby, I can cook!

Some girls make wonderful jivers, Some girls can hit a high "C", Some girls make good taxi drivers, But what a genius is me. I'd make a wonderful jiver, I even hit a high "C", I make the best taxi driver, I rate a big Navy "E"!

'Cause I can fry, too, on top of the heap, My Crisco's as deep as a pool. Yes, I can broil, too, My ribs get applause, My lamb chops will cause you to drool. For a candied sweet Or a pickled beet, Step up to my smorgasbord. Walk around until You get your fill. Baby, you won't ever be bored! Oh, I'm a pat? A marron glac? A dish you will wish you had took. And what's more, baby, I can cook!!

Antipholus of Syracuse sings as the Sergeant drags him off to jail.
View Lyrics
Come with me Where the food is free Where the landlord never comes near you Be a guest in a house of rest Where the best of fellows can cheer you.
There's your own little room So cool, not too much light Where you're one man for whom No wife who waits up at night
When day ends You have lots of friends Who will guard you well while you slumber Safe from battle and strife Safe from the wind and gale Come with me to jail

You'll never have to fetch the milk Or walk the dog at early dawn There's no -"Get up- you're late for work!" While you rest in the pearly dawn You're never bored by politics You're privileged to miss a row Of tragedies by Sophocles And diatribes by Cicero

Your brother's wife will never come On Sunday noon to bring to you Her little son who plays the lute, Her little girl to sing to you

You can commit you little "sins" And relatives won't yell "Fie!" You needn't take the annual trip To the oracle at Delphi You snore and swear and stretch and yawn In this, your strictly male house

The only way that sinners go to Heaven Is in the jail house!
