1 BROADWAY SPRING SHOW LYRICS 2014 ANNIE MEDLEY Tomorrow The sun ll come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there ll be sun! Jus thinking about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow till there s none. When I m stuck with a day, that s gray and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin and say: Oh, the sun ll come out tomorrow, so you got to hang on till tomorrow come what may! Tomorrow, tomorrow, l I love ya tomorrow, you re always a day away! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you re only a day away! It s the Hard Knock Life It s the hard-knock life for us! It s the hard-knock life for us! Stead-a treated we get tricked, stead-a kisses we get kicked. It s the hard-knock life! Got no folks to speak of, so, It s the hard-knock row we hoe. Cotton blankets stead-a wool, Empty bellies stead-a full. It s the hard-knock life! Don t it feel like the wind is always howlin? Don t it seem like there s never any light? Once a day don t you want to throw the towel in? It s easier than puttin up a fight! No one s there when your dreams at night get creepy. No one cares if you grow or if you shrink. No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy. From the cryin you would think this place would sink. Oh! Santa Claus we never see. Santa Claus, what s that? Who s he? No one cares for you a smidge when you re in an orphanage. It s the hard-knock life! Yes it is! It s the hard-knock life! Yes it is! It s the hard-knock life! Maybe Maybe far away, or maybe real nearby, He maybe pouring her coffee, she maybe straight ning his tie. Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill, She s sitting playing pi-a-nah. He s sitting paying a bill. Bet-cha they re young. Bet-cha they re smart. Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art. Bet-cha they re good, why shouldn t they be? Their one mistake was giving up me. So, maybe now it s time And maybe when I wake, They ll be there calling me baby. Maybe. You re Never Fully Dressed Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan, You both got your style. But brother, you re never fully dressed without a smile! Your clothes may be Beau Brumelly. They stand out a mile. But brother, you re never fully dressed without a smile! Who cares (I don t care) what they re wearing (what they wear) on Main Street or Saville Row?

2 It s what you wear from ear to ear, And not from head to toe that matters. So, Senator, so, janitor, So long for awhile. Remember, you re never fully dressed, (No, you never are,) Though you may wear the best (Don t you know that) you re never fully dressed without a smile. Oooo I Don t Need Anything But You Together at last, together forever; We re trying a knot They never can sever. I don t need sunshine now to turn my skies to blue. I don t need anything but you! You wrapped me around your cute little finger (your finger); You made life a song, You made me the singer (the singer). And what s that bathtub tune I always Buhbuh-boo? I don t need anything, anything, anything, I don t need anything but you! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you re only a day away! BROADWAY BLOCKBUSTERS Broadway! Broadway! Broadway! Broadway! One One singular sensation ev ry little step she takes, One thrilling combination Ev ry move that she makes. One smile and suddenly nobody else will do. You know you ll never be lonely with you know who. One moment in her presence And you can forget the rest. For the girl is second best to none, son, Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention. Do I really have to mention She s the, she s the, she s the one? Beauty and the Beast Tale as old as time, true as it can be, Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly. Just a little change, small to say the least. Both a little scared, neither one prepared Beauty and the Beast. Ever just the same, ever a surprise, Ever as before, ever just as sure as the sun will rise. Certain as the sun rising in the East, Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast. Tradition Tradition, tradition, tradition! Tradition, tradition, tradition! Who, day and night must scramble for a living, Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers? And who has the right as master of the house to have the final word at home? The papa, (the papa!) the papa, Tradition. The papa, the papa, tradition! Dai dai dai dai, dai dai dai dai, Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai. Dai dai dai dai, dai dai dai dai, Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai. Tradition! Tradition! Sun and Moon You are sunlight and I moon, Joined by the gods of fortune, Midnight and high noon sharing the sky. We have been blessed, you and I. You are sunlight and I moon, Joined here bright ning the sky with the flame of love. Made of sunlight moonlight. Do You Hear the People Sing? Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!

3 When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums, There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes! Will you give all you can give so that our banner may advance? Some will fall and some will live, Will you stand up and take your chance? And join in the fight that will give us the right to be free? Right to be free! Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums, There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes! Ah tomorrow comes! ON MY OWN (from LES MISERABLES) On my own, pretending he s beside me. All alone I walk with him til morning. Without him I feel his arms around me. And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me. In the rain, the pavement shines like silver. All the lights are misty in the river. In the darkness the trees are full of starlight, And all I see is him and me forever and forever. And I know it s only in my mind That I m talking to myself and not to him. And although I know that he is blind, Still I say there s a way for us. I love him, but when the night is over, He is gone, the river s just a river. Without him the world around me changes. The trees are bare and ev rywhere the streets are full of strangers. I love him but ev ry day I m learning All my life I ve only been pretending. Without me his world will go on turning. The world is full of happiness that I have never known. I love him, I love him, I love him, But only on my own. DREAMGIRLS MEDLEY Move (You re Stepping On My Heart) Move! Move!

And do I dream again? For now I find The phantom of the opera is there inside my mind. He s there the phantom of the opera, Ah! Music of the Night Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation; wakes imagination (ooo ) Silently the senses abandon their defenses. Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour; Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender. Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thought away from cold, unfeeling light and listen to the music of the night. Think of Me Think of me, think of me fondly when we ve said good-bye. Remember me ev ry so often, promise me you ll try. On that day, that not so distant day, when you are far away and free, (ooo ) if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me.

Think of me (please say you ll think of me) Whatever else you choose to do. There will never be a day when I won t think of you. All I Ask of You 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. All I ask is ev ry 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. Ooo oo oo Anywhere you go, let me go too;

8 That s all I ask of you. Phantom Reprise He s there the phantom of the opera, He s there the phantom of the opera. He s there the phantom of the opera. Ah! SEASONS OF LOVE Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife, In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure a year in the life. How about love (love)? (3x) Measure in love. Seasons of love (love. Seasons of love). Love. In truth that she learned or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned or the way that she died! It s time now to sing out though the story never ends. Let s celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends. Remember the love (love). (3x) Measure in love. Seasons of love (love. Seasons of love). Love. THERE S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS On with the show! On with the show! (On with the, on with the show, the show!) There s no bus ness like show bus ness like no bus ness I know. Ev rything about it is appealing, Ev rything the traffic will allow, Nowhere could you have that happy feeling When you are stealing that extra box. There s no people like show people They smile when they are low. Yesterday they told you you would not go far, That night you open and there you are. Next day on your dressing room they ve hung a star. Let s go on with the show. The costumes, the scen ry, the make-up, the props, The audience that lifts you when you re down. The headaches, the heartaches, The backaches, the flops, The sheriff you escorts you out of town. The op ning when your heart beats like a drum. The closing when the customers won t come. There s no bus ness like show bus ness if you tell me it s so. Trav ling thru the country is so thrilling. Standing out in front on op ning nights. Smiling as you watch the theatre filling. And there s your billing out there in lights. There s no people like show people They smile when they are low. Even with a turkey that you know will fold You may be stranded out in the cold. Still you wouldn t change it for a sack of gold. Let s go on with the show (on with the show). There s no people like show people (no people like show people, show people) They smile when they (they re) low. This is so exciting, but I m filled with fright, The show is over and on that night Someone wants my autograph, but I can t write, Let s go on with the show, the show!

9 WICKED One Short Day One short day in the Emerald City, 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 this city, There s something exquisite you want to visit, Before the day s through! There are buildings tall as quoxwood trees, Dress salons, and libraries, palaces, Museums, a hundred strong. There are wonders like I ve never seen! It s all grand! And it s all green! I think we ve found the place where we belong. I wanna be in this hoi-poi-loi! So I ll be back for good someday To make my life and make my way, But for today we ll wander and enjoy! One short day in the Emerald City, One short day have a lifetime of fun, One short day and we re warning the city, Now that we re in here, You ll know we ve been here, Before we are done! Popular Popular, you re gonna be popular! I ll teach you the proper ploys When you talk to boys, Little ways to flirt and flounce, I ll show you what shoes to wear, How to fix your hair, Ev rything that really counts to be popular! I ll help you be popular! You ll hang with the right cohorts, You ll be good at sports, Know the slang you ve got to know. So let s start, cause you ve got An awf lly long way to go. Don t be offended by my frank analysis: Thing of it a personality dialysis. Now that I ve chosen to become a pal, A sister and adviser, There s nobody wiser, Not when it comes to popular, I know about popular! And with an assist from me to be Who you ll be instead of dreary who you were are! There s nothing that can stop you From becoming populer lar. La, la, la We re gonna make you popular! When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features, I remind them on their own behalf, To think of celebrated heads of state, Or specially great communicators. Did they have brains or knowledge? Don t make me laugh! They were popular! Please! It s all about popular! It s not about aptitude, It s the way you re viewed, So it s very shrewd to be Very, very popular like me! La, la, la you ll be popular! Just not quite as popular as me! For Good I ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must lear; And we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them And we help them in return. Well, I don t kow if I believe that s true, But I know I m who I am today Because I knew you. Like a comet pulled from orbit, As is passes a sun, Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood. Who can say if I ve been changed for the better, But because I knew you, I have been changed for good. And just to clear the air,

10 I ask forgiveness for the things I ve done you blame me for. But then I guess we know there s blame to share, And none of it seems to matter anymore. Alto: Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun Soprano: Like a ship blown from it s mooring By a wind off the sea Alto: Like a stream that meets a boulder Half-way through the wood Soprano: Like a seed dropped by a bird, in the wood Who can say if I ve been changed for the better, I do believe I have been changed for the better, And because I knew you, Because I knew you, Because I knew you, I have been changed for good. Defying Gravity Something has changed within me, Something is not the same. I m through with playing by the rules Of someone else s game. Too late for second guessing, Too late to go back to sleep. It s time to trust my instincts, Close my eyes and leap. It s time to try defying gravity. I think I ll try defying gravity, And you can t pull me down. I m through accepting limits cause someone says they re so. Some things I cannot change, But til I try, I ll never know. Too long I ve been afraid Of losing love I guess I ve lost. Well, if that s love, It comes at much too high a cost. I d sooner buy defying gravity. Kiss me goodbye, I m defying gravity, And you can t pull me down. So if you care to find me Look to the western sky. As someone told me lately Ev ryone deserves the chance to fly! And if I m flying solo, At least I m flying free. To those who d ground me, Take a message back from me. Tell them how I am defying gravity. I m flying high, defying gravity, And soon I ll match them in renown. And nobody in all of Oz, No Wizard that there is or ws, Is ever gonna bring me down. Ah YOU CAN T STOP THE BEAT You can t strop 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 dancing 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 till I heard the drums, Then I found my way 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! You can t stop today as it comes speeding down the track. Child, yesterday is hist ry and it s never coming back. Cause tomorrow is a brand new day And it don t know white from black. cause the world keeps spinning round and round, And my heart s keeping time

11 to the speed of sound. I was lost till I heard the drums, Then I found my way 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! Ah! Ah! Ever since we first saw the light, A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night. And so I m gonna shake and shimmy it with all of 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, 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 (the beat)! You can t stop the beat!
