June is bustin out all over, Carousel

No wide-eyed, eager,
Wholesome innocent Sunday school teacher for me.
That kinda girl spins webs no spider ever--
Listen, boy--
A girl who trades on all that purity
Merely wants to trade my independence for her security.
The only affirmative she will file
Refers to marching down the aisle.
No golden, glorious, gleaming pristine goddess--

The Music Man!!!

We never see a headline
'Bout breadline, today,
And when we see the landlord,
We can look that guy right in the eye .

42nd Street, The Gold Diggers Song

Pharaoh told his guards to fetch
A chisel from the local store
Whereupon he ordered them
To cut the chains that Joseph wore
Joseph got a royal pardon
And a host of splendid things
A chariot of gold, a cloak,
A medal and some signet rings

Uhhhmmmmm, I'm gonna guess "RENT," as I've never seen it. Feel free to enlighten me if I'm off.


Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddie with the twinklin' eye
Come whistlin' by
And does he walk away sad and dreamy there,
Not to see me there?

Ah, crap, too slow

Okay, Howard is being slow, so I am jumping in front of him!

(you can take my next turn!)

He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled...

Another verse from MacCavity the Mystery Cat - CATS

I'll re-post mine for HOWARD to do in the morning:

Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddie with the twinklin' eye
Come whistlin' by
And does he walk away sad and dreamy there,
Not to see me there?

(P.S. Meagan, you're allowed to answer if you like!
)

I'm going to steal Howard's thunder here:
How are things in Glocca Morra? From Finian's Rainbow.

"You don't know this man,
You don't know a thing.
When a man writes his mother every Sunday,
pays his bills before they're due
Works so hard to feed his family,
There's your murderer for you..."

Parade


One of my very all time favorites: 2 hints because I couldn't decide which one to use! What I would give to see this performed live!


Somewhere inside something there is a rush of greatness
Who knows what stands in front of our lives
I fashion my future on films in space\t
Silence tells me secretly \t
Everything; Everything...\t\t

LBJ took the IRT\t\t\t\t
down to 4th street USA\t\t\t
When he got there, what did he see?\t
The youth of America on LSD.

Phantom of the Opera!!!

Ever tend the farm when I want to keep my
Arms - about you -
About you!
About you!
The cows and chickens
are goin' to the dickens!
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do -

Guys & Dolls



His eyes should flash with an inborn fire,

His brow with scorn be wrung;

He never should bow down to a domineering frown

Or the tang of a tyrant tongue.

Had to look that one up!

HMS Pinafore or The Lass that Loved a Sailor' (Gilbert and Sullivan light opera)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
For the band's playin'
One of my old favorite songs from way back when

Hello Dolly!


They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a buildin' oughta grow
Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City
It's better than a magic lantern show!

Kansas City! Oklahoma!

Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

If I loved you - Carousel


There would be one long staircase just going up
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

Fiddler On The Roof


Here is another of my all time favorites!

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

Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!

Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows. Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the
children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the
eagles fly, without you.
