Context & Lyrics


A musician recalls loving music through his father’s piano abilities.
View Lyrics
My father's pride Was in his hands. The piano was his soul.

I watched and wondered As he played show tunes Miles off from rock and roll.

What he loved he taught me. Now music's what I do. And often when I'm writing, In my hands, Dad's there too.

If I sing you are the music. If I fly you're why I'm good. If my hands can find some magic You're the one who said they could.

When the child that's still inside me, Finds a song in empty air. When there is joy in making music It is you who put it there.

My dad grew old. His hands grew numb. And now he cannot play.

I came to visit. He sat and asked me "How it could be this way?"

I couldn't find an answer. I played this tune for him instead. My father sat there smiling For he knew what it said.

If I sing you are the music. If I love you taught me how. Every day your heart is beating In the man that I am now.

If my ears are tuned to wander. If when I reach the chords are there. If there is joy in making music, It's a joy that we both share.

I never told you. It took time till I could see That if I sing you are the music And you'll always sing in me.

Yes you'll always live in me.

Dr. Taylor, a small town physician, hopes that his college-aged son Joe will eventually marry his girlfriend Jenny.
View Lyrics
A fellow needs a girl to sit by his side,
At the end of a weary day. To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say. A fellow needs a girl to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong, To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong.

When things go right, And his job's well done, He wants to share The prize he's won. If no one shares and no one cares, Where is the fun of a job well done? Or a prize you've won?

A fellow needs a home, His own kind of home, But to make this dream come true, A fellow needs a girl, His own kind of girl, My kind of girl is you.

Georges, who owns La Cage aux Folles, teaches the drag queen Albin to become less flamboyant.
View Lyrics
GEORGES I want you to pick up that piece of toast like a man!
Think of this as Masculine toast and Masculine butter, Ready for spreading by a Masculine hand. Pick up that knife and make believe it's a machete. It'll take all your strength and steady nerves For hacking your way through the cherry preserves.
Think of John Wayne, and Jean Paul Belmondo. Think of the Legionnaires and Charlemagne's men. So like a stevedore you grab your cup And if God forbid that your pinky pops up, You can climb back up the mountain once again.
Have you got that?
ALBIN I think so!
GEORGES Don't think so! You're a man!
ALBIN I'm a man!
RENAUD You're a man!
ALBIN I'm a man!
MME. RENAUD You're a man!
ALBIN I said I'm a man.
MME. RENAUD Oh, Albin
GEORGES About that voice of yours. Grunt like an ape, and growl like a tiger. Give us a roaring, snorting masculine laugh!
ALBIN Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
GEORGES Try to remember that John Wayne was not soprano. Try making it rough and gruff and low.
ALBIN Ha Ha!
GEORGES Try more of John Wayne and less Brigitte Bardodt!
RENAUD Think of De Gaulle and pick up Rasputin.
MME. RENAUD Think like you're Daniel marching into the den.
GEORGES While trying to join the burly brutes, If you forget that your nylons are under your boots
GEORGES, RENAUD, MME. RENAUD, & FRANCIS You can climb back up the mountain once again...
ALL Think Ghengis Kan (Think!) and think Taras Bulba (Think!) (Think! Think! Think!) Think of Atilla's Huns and Robin Hood's men. (Hup! Hup!)
Try not to weaken or collapse; If they discover the petticoat under your chaps You can climb back up the mountain once again. Woah! Yeah!

Major Bouvier tells his granddaughter Edie the best way to preserve their family’s legacy.
View Lyrics
MAJOR BOUVIER (spoken) Forgive me, ladies, but we live in perilous times. If you want to anchor your self in a uncertain world you have only one recourse:

(sung) With your eye on the ball and your feet on the fairway- Hit it high little girls, marry well!

MAN Four!

MAJOR BOUVIER Every point under par is a leg up the stairway To the sky little girls, marry well. Find a staunch young patrician, Republican! With the blood and the brains to excel! Like the fine strapping lad your late grandmama had Meaning I, little girls, marry well.

Ridiculous woman my daughter Edith Flying at the face of every good solid value I ever tried to instill in her God knows I've tried to teach her tried to teach all of my brood-

EDIE &MAJOR BOUVIER(spoken) The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility

MAJOR BOUVIER Edie, oh ho ho, the last hope of the great Bouvier clan.

EDIE Oh, honestly!

BROOK But Major Bouvier, the time!

MAJOR BOUVIER Oh alright, alright, I'm coming. Company, fall in! Ten hut!

EDIE Chair the ball for the blind

LEE Treat your church to a steeple

ALL When in doubt, little girls, marry well!

LEE Bail the met out of debt

JACKIE Leave your art to the people.

ALL And the crowd will fall under your spell!

MAJOR BOUVIER But an unmarried lassie who's fast and loose, is a moose in a herd of gazelle!

ALL POW

MAJOR BOUVIER Don't be picked off the pack With your head on a plaque! Do me proud, little girls

ALL Marry well

MAJOR BOUVIER It's your future that counts They say greatness always skips a generation So now its up to you to burnish the family crest And remember girls- this crest of our french royal providence It took a while for it We paid a pile for it So go end up spinsters and diletants! The name Bouvier will surpass all others All of your uncles, aunts-

EDITH Oh Ah Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

MAJOR BOUVIER And mothers

LEE Picture Lee in Milan with a prince and a villa.

MAJOR BOUVIER Sally forth, little girl! Very nice.

JACKIE Jackie B. in Paris, simply bathes in chinchilla

EDIE As for me, Joe will more than suffice!

MAJOR BOUVIER Good girl! With a grandfather's blessing, I wish you love! Someone there when your hair goes to gray, and I'll strut in my spats down the isle of Saint Pat's!

BROOKS Marry high!

EDIE Marry proud!

JACKIE & LEE Nouveau riche ain't allowed!

BROOKS Upper class!

LEE Upper Crust!

JACKIE Standard Oil and Morgan Trust!

EDIE Marry young!

BROOKS Marry chaste!

MAJOR BOUVIER Or if not, then in haste-

ALL Marry well, and you're well on your way!

Context & Lyrics


Guido Contini, a film director suffering from a midlife crisis, struggles to distinguish his ambitious interior world from reality.
View Lyrics
I would like to be here,
I would like to be there. I would like to everywhere at once. I know that's a contradiction in terms, And it's a problem,
Especially when My body's clearing forty
As my mind is nearing ten.
I can hardly stay up,
And I can't get to Sleep, And I don't want to wake tomorrow morning At the bottom of some heap,
But why take it so seriously? After all, there's nothing at Stake here-only me. I want to be young,
And I want to be old.
I would like to be wise before my time And yet be foolish and brash and bold. I would like the universe to get down On it's knees And say, "Guido, whatever you please, It's okay. Even if it's impossible, we'll Arrange it." That's all that I want.
I am lusting for more.
Should I settle for less? I ask you, what's a good thing for, if Not for taking it to excess? One limitation I dearly regret, There's only one of me I've ever met.
I would like to have another me to Travel along with myself. I would even like to be able to sing a Duet with myself.
I would like to be here
(Sing along with myself in a song) To be there
(Walking down a lane now, everywhere) Everywhere
(Everywhere. That's a contradiction in terms. I want to) Here (With a counter-) Here (Melody in the) Here (Top of the morning to you, Guido) Guido (Guido) Guido (Guido) Guido (Me) Me (Me).
I want to be Proust or the Marquis De Sade, I would like to be Christ, Mohammed, Buddha But not have to believe in God, And you know I mean it with all of my heart.
It's the end if something important doesn't start. I want to be young,
But I have to be old. What I want is a tale of sound and fury That some idiot went and told.
I would like the universe to get down On it's knees And say, "Guido, whatever you please, it's okay. Even if it's ridiculous, we'll arrange it." So arrange it!
ALL Arrange it!
GUIDO That's all that I want!

Stine experiences the collapse of his real and fictional worlds.
View Lyrics
Funny, How'd I fail to see this little bed time tale was funny? I could cry to think of all the irony i've missed! What an unusual twist Right at the end of it

Funny, Who could see that this pathetic scene would be So funny Once you strain to find the grain of humor Underneath Life double crosses with style Forcing you into a smile So it can kick you in the teeth

Just desserts We can all laugh till it hurts At my expense I'm accustomed to working on "spec" I always pick up the check

I think it's funny Who could top or make this comic op'ra more Compelling You could weave in some deceit to even up the Score

You'd have us all on the floor That would be roaringly funny Sad enough my life's a joke that suffers in the telling Just another hoary chestnut from the bottom drawer I've heard so often before That I can't laugh anymore

Oscar, a selfish impresario, tries to convince his colleagues that he will regain success even after four flops.
View Lyrics
OSCAR (spoken) Traitors! Look at the two of you: Judas Iscariot and his sister Sue. You think I’m finished? They all think I’m finished. Just because I've had a failure... All right, four failures. But what glorious ones! Let them kick me when I'm down... but every time they think I’m through…

(sung) I rise again Full size again, And give those doubting Thomases a walloping surprise again! I sneer at them, I jeer at them, I thumb my nose and bite my thumb and bare my royal rear at them!

With my back up against the wall, With the wolves yapping at my heels, With the noose tightening ‘round my neck, That's the time I know how really living feels.

With the wall up against my back, With the water rising to my chin, Chained and bound tight inside a sack, That's the plight that I'm delighted in!

For I have powers like Aladdin's Genie did. I do escape tricks better than Houdini did. From the black of my cul-de-sac, Do I crack and fall? No – I attack! With my back up against the wall…

OLIVER & OWEN Listen boss, you've got to use your brain. Everyone you owe will meet the train

OSCAR I Shine again, All is mine again, A fighter rising from the canvas at the count of nine - -

OLIVER & OWEN Nine? The count is ten! You're out! The drums of doom are knocking. Your theatre and your offices The bankers will be locking.

OSCAR I spit at them, Spray flit at them. I'll face those grim Goliaths with my sling shot And I’ll hit at them.

With my back up against the wall, Angry birds pecking with their beaks Or submerged, sealed inside a tomb – That challenge brings the roses to my cheeks.

So rally 'round me now, my musketeering men. We’ll turn that raging lynch mob into cheering men! From the false reports of my demise, Like the phoenix right before their eyes With my back up against the wall…

OLIVER & OWEN With his back up against the wall…

OSCAR I rise again!

OLIVER & OWEN Ah-ah-ah

ALL THREE I (He'll) rise again!

Thomas Andrews, designer of the Titanic, believes it to be humanity's next great accomplishment.
View Lyrics
In every age mankind attempts To fabricate great works At once magnificent And impossible...
On desert sands, from mountains of stone A pyramid! From flying buttresses alone A wall of light! A chapel ceiling Screaming one man's ecstasy! One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all! China's endless wall... Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the Duomo The aqueducts of Rome
We did not attempt to make With mammoth blocks of stone A giant pyramid. No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light... Our task was to dream upon And then create A floating city! Floating city...
A human metropolis... A complete civilization! Sleek! And fast!
At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering... At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering.

Raoul dwells on his troubled marriage with Christine.
View Lyrics
RAOUL (spoken) One more

BARTENDER (spoken) Oh, buddy, don't you think you've had enough? It's practically morning already

RAOUL (spoken) One more, I said

BARTENDER (spoken) Alright, alright My shift is over anyway, so let's settle the bill, okay? Jeez, you're in a bad way ain't you? Worse than most that end up here. Here's the morning shift, maybe he'll know what to do with you

RAOUL (spoken) Yes, what to do with me That's the question, isn't it? That's always been the question Ever since the beginning (sung) She looks for sympathy I give her sorrow She asks for honesty I've none to borrow

She needs my tender kiss She begs it of me I give her ugliness Why does she love me?

She yearns for higher things Things I can't give her The rush that music brings I can't deliver

And even when she sings And soars above me I try to clip her wings Why does she love me?

One more drink, sir That's what I need Don't you think, sir? Leave the hurt behind

Do you hear me? Another drink

She wants the man I was Husband and father At least, she thinks she does She needn't bother

Beneath this mask I wear There's nothing of me Just horror, shame, despair Why does she love me?

How 'bout you, sir? Tell me what am I to do, sir? Leave the hurt behind

MEG Morning, Bernie, coffee please Hurry up before I freeze I'll just take it black (spoken) Mother said, I'd find you here

RAOUL (spoken) Miss Giry

MEG (spoken) Do you know where you are?

RAOUL (spoken) Hell, I imagine...

MEG (spoken) Around here they call it suicide hall It's where people end up When they don't know where else to go The hopeless, the desperate A good place to step off the side Off the pier and quietly vanish

RAOUL You seem to be a regular

MEG Me? I come here to swim (sung) This town is coarse and cold and mean It's hard to keep your conscience clean Faceless in the crowd Anything's allowed

And so I come at dawn each day Come to wash it all away Sink into the sea, blue and cool and kind Let it set me free, let the past unwind Leave the hurt behind

(spoken) You should never have come to America. It's not a place for people like you and Christine. It's too easy to forget who you are and where you belong. That's why Mother says you must leave here. Now, take your wife and the boy and go.

RAOUL (spoken) Leave? What about tonight? The concert, the money? Am I to just run away from him?

MEG (spoken) When the sun rises tomorrow We can all start again, clean (sung) Sail across the sea Put us out of mind Close your eyes and flee Let yourself stay blind Leave this place behind

Context & Lyrics


After Lawrence takes Christine to the train station, he develops feelings for her.
View Lyrics
Love sneaks in When everything seems quiet, Sets the bait And like a fool you buy it.
Your famous self-possession's Vanished from your repertoire- This is what can happen when you Leave the door ajar...
And love sneaks in And whispers to you sweetly Silly words that change your life completely.
You're fumbling in the dark. The master's now the mark. You're out of luck If love sneaks in on you.
The player has been nicely played The mocker's now the mocked- That's what tends to happen when You leave yourself unlocked.
And love sneaks through The usual defenses. The sighs, the smirks The state the old pretenses.
What's gone is what you were. What's left is all a blur. You're stung, you're stuck For love snuck in with her.

Kerchak has just exiled Tarzan from the gorilla clan.
View Lyrics
KERCHAK My worst fear I hold it now I always knew that this would happen Though he's a child its in his blood And he will grow So now its clear what I must do I know too well what he'll become For as long as I draw breath I'll remember

KALA (spoken) Wheres Tarzan? Where is he?

KERCHAK No turning back Whats done is done I have seen what they can do He can't be saved by you, by me It's too late

KALA (spoken) No, I wont let you do this. How can you think-

KERCHAK No more fighting. I'll be obeyed I'll stand my ground Don't dare defy me I know his kind I know the truth I will protect us

No other way Open your eyes It's there to see No other way He's not one of us And never will be

KALA (spoken) Just listen to me

KERCHAK No more to say He is what he is And that won't change There's no other way I am leaving him here And here he'll stay

KALA (spoken) Hes just a child

KERCHAK He was up in the trees Making a weapon And in time it is us He will hurt

KALA (spoken) No

KERCHAK Nothing and no one Will stop him becoming What he is And was by blood

No other way He won't come between me And those I love Believe me when I say With my body and soul This I vow

KALA (spoken) But I need him!

KERCHAK No, no other way And in spite of your pain It will be done

No matter what you say He never was or could be Be my son There is no other way

I won't let him near the rest of the tribe again

KALA I understand

KERCHAK Where are you going?

KALA To find him We'll live away from the family

KERCHAK For how long?

KALA For as long as he needs me

KERCHAK You can't. I wont be able to protect you Kala don't do this. Please.

KALA Kerchak I'm his mother

KERCHAK No other way I should have done this before Long ago And from today Though they'll think of me cruel They won't know There was no other way.

Context & Lyrics


An adult reflects on his complex high school past.
View Lyrics
There's a kid inside, And I have him with me always. There's a kid inside, Walking down old high school hallways. There's a kid inside, At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers. There's a kid inside to this very day.
And he makes a try for that high pop fly, That I fumbled one September. And he makes a fuss over some A plus, That I shouldn't still remember.

And he goes along, Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over. And unless I'm strong, All my senses are carried away.

I can feel my hand, my trembling hand, On Michelle's angora sweater. I can hear my band, that awful band, Only now it sounds much better.

I can see a kid, the kid I use to be, On the stage, on the field, in the lunch line. I can feel him tugging at me, Every time I think I don't care, I blink, And he's there again, he's there again.

Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride. To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried.

There again, He's there again.

And I never know, when the breeze'll blow, With a rush of old sensations. Why the kid should wake, And my heart should ache, Every time I smell carnations.

Something rings a bell, Anything at all, All it takes is a slam of a locker.

Or the switch from summer to fall, A change of season seems hardly reason, But there he goes again, he's there again.

Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride.

To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried. There he goes again, Hummin' his songs.

He's there again, There again. There's a kid inside.

Context & Lyrics


A musician recalls loving music through his father’s piano abilities.
View Lyrics
My father's pride Was in his hands. The piano was his soul.

I watched and wondered As he played show tunes Miles off from rock and roll.

What he loved he taught me. Now music's what I do. And often when I'm writing, In my hands, Dad's there too.

If I sing you are the music. If I fly you're why I'm good. If my hands can find some magic You're the one who said they could.

When the child that's still inside me, Finds a song in empty air. When there is joy in making music It is you who put it there.

My dad grew old. His hands grew numb. And now he cannot play.

I came to visit. He sat and asked me "How it could be this way?"

I couldn't find an answer. I played this tune for him instead. My father sat there smiling For he knew what it said.

If I sing you are the music. If I love you taught me how. Every day your heart is beating In the man that I am now.

If my ears are tuned to wander. If when I reach the chords are there. If there is joy in making music, It's a joy that we both share.

I never told you. It took time till I could see That if I sing you are the music And you'll always sing in me.

Yes you'll always live in me.
