FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER - CHARITY

This show is open, so's that door 'Cause for the first time in forever
Guess it dont open up at four There'll be music, there'll be light
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad For the first time in forever
plates? I'll be dancing through the night
For hours I've roamed that empty hall
Why have a ballroom with no balls? Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
Finally they're opening up the gates But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be actual real live people I won't be alone
It'll be totally strange
But,wow, am I so ready for this change! I can't wait to meet everyone! [gasp]
What if I meet... the one?

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.

BE PREPARED
JONATHAN JONATHAN
I know that your powers of retention (Just listen to teacher)
Are as wet as a warthog's backside I know it sounds sordid but you'll be rewarded
(But thick as you are, pay attention) When at last I am given my dues!
My words are a matter of pride And injustice deliciously squared

It's clear from your vacant expressions ALL (Unison)

(Uh Ah) Be prepared!
The lights are not all on upstairs
(Uh Ah) JONATHAN
But we're talking kings and successions So prepare for the coup of the century
Even you can't be caught unawares Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi) Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Decades of denial is simply why I'll
Be prepared for sensational news Be king undisputed, respected, saluted
A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
HYENA
And where do we feature? ALL (Unison)
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared-
Be prepared!

MOTHER KNOWS BEST

Look at you, as fragile as a flower Mother knows best
Still a little sapling, just a sprout One way or another
You know why we stay up in this tower Something will go wrong, I swear
(I know but)
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Guess I always knew this day was coming Cannibals and snakes, the plague
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest (No)
Soon, but not yet Yes
(But) (But)
Shh, trust me, pet
Mother knows best Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth and
Mother knows best Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Listen to your mother Mother's right here
It's a scary world out there Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama Gullible, naive
Stay with mama Positively grubby
Mother knows best Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm, vague

Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino Plus, I believe

Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead Gettin' kinda chubby
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know? I'm just saying 'cause I love you
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Mother understands
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it Mother's here to help you
Let me die alone here, be my guest All I have is one request
When it's too late, you'll see, just wait
Mother knows best Darling?
(Yes?)
Mother knows best Don't ever ask to leave these four walls again
Take it from your mumsy (Yes, mother)
On your own, you won't survive
Oh, I love you very much, dear
Sloppy, under-dressed (I love you more)
Immature, clumsy I love you most, hmm
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best

OUT THERE
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of Out there among the millers and the weavers and
stone their wives
Gazing at the people down below me Through the roofs and gables I can see them
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their
Hungry for the histories they show me lives
All my life I memorize their faces Heedless of the gift it is to be them
Knowing them as they will never know me If I was in their skin
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day I'd treasure ev'ry instant
Not above them
But part of them Out there
Strolling by the Seine
And out there Taste a morning out there
Living in the sun Like ordinary men
Give me one day out there Who freely walk about there
All I ask is one Just one day and then
To hold forever I swear I'll be content
Out there With my share
Where they all live unaware Won't resent
What I'd give Won't despair
What I'd dare Old and bent
Just to live one day out there I won't care
I'll have spent
One day
Out there
 PART OF YOUR WORLD
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wandering free
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, Wish I could be
The girl who has everything? Part of that world
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold? What would I give
Lookin' around here you'd think If I could live
Sure, she's got everything Out of these waters?
What would I pay
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty To spend a day
I've got whooz-its and whatz-its galore Warm on the sand?
(You want thingamabobs? Betcha on land
I got twenty) They understand
But who cares? That they don't reprimand their daughters
No big deal Bright young women
I want more Sick of swimming
Ready to stand
I want to be where the people are
I want to see And ready to know what the people know
want to see 'em dancing Ask 'em my questions
Walking around on those And get some answers
Whadd'ya call 'em? oh- feet What's a fire and why does it
Flipping your fins you don't get too far What's the word? burn?
Legs are required for jumping, dancing When's it my turn?
Strolling along down a Wouldn't I love
What's that word again? Street Love to explore that shore above?
Up where they walk Out of the sea
Up where they run Wish I could be
Part of that world

REFLECTIONS
Look at me, When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
I will never pass for a perfect bride How I pray, that a time will come,
or a perfect daughter I can free myself, from their expectations
Can it be, On that day, I'll discover some way to be myself,
I'm not meant to play this part? and to make my family proud.
Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself They want a docile lamb,
I would break my family's heart No-one knows who I am.
Must there be a secret me,
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? I'm forced to hide?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I am someone else for all
Somehow I cannot hide time?
Who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

STRANGERS LIKE ME
Whatever you do, Ill do it, too I see myself as others see me
Show me everything and tell me how Oh I just know theres something bigger out there
It all means something and yet nothing to me
I wanna know; can you show me?
Oh I can see theres so much to learn I wanna know about these strangers like me
Its all so close and yet so far! Tell me more, please show me
Somethings familiar about these strangers like Somethings familiar about these strangers like

Tell me more, please show me
I wanna know; can you show me? Somethings familiar about these strangers like
I wanna know about these strangers like me me

GO THE DISTANCE
I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way, I can go the distance

I'll be there someday if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

I am on my way - I can go the distance!

I don't care how far - Somehow I'll be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong

JOURNEY TO THE PAST

Heart, don't fail me now! Home, Love, Family.
Courage, don't desert me! There was once a time
Don't turn back now that we're here. I must have had them, too.
People always say Home, Love, Family,
Life is full of choices. I will never be complete
No one ever mentions fear! Until I find you
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey ... to the past. One step at a time,
One hope, then another,
Somewhere down this road Who knows where this road may go
I know someone's waiting Back to who I was,
Years of dreams just can't be wrong! On to find my future.
Arms will open wide. Things my heart still needs to know.
I'll be safe and wanted Yes, let this be a sign!
Fin'lly home where I belong. Let this road be mine!
Well, starting now, I'm learning fast Let it lead me to my past
On this journey to the past And bring me home...At last!
 POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They weren't kidding when they called me, (well, They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
a witch) Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to
But you'll find that nowadays say a word
I've mended all my ways And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
(True? Yes.) Come on, they're not all that impressed with
conversation
And I fortunately know a little magic True gentlemen avoid it when they can
It's a talent that I always have possessed (But they dote and swoon and fawn
And here lately (please don't laugh) On a lady who's withdrawn)
I use it on behalf It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed,
pathetic Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Poor unfortunate souls Make your choice!
In pain, in need I'm a very busy woman
This one longing to be thinner And I haven't got all day
That one wants to get the girl It won't cost much
(And do I help them? Just your voice!
Yes, indeed!)
You poor unfortunate soul
Those poor unfortunate souls It's sad, but true
So sad, so true If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
They come flocking to my cauldron You've got the pay the toll
Crying, ("Spells, Ursula, please!" Take a gulp and take a breath
And I help them Go ahead and sign the scroll!
Yes I do!) Flotsam, Jetsam (now I've got her, boys)
The boss is on a roll
You poor unfortunate soul!

TALE AS OLD AS TIME - CIRU M

Tale as old as time Beauty and the beast Bittersweet and strange
True as it can be Finding you can change
Barely even friends Ever just the same Learning you were wrong
Then somebody bends Ever a surprise
Unexpectedly Ever as before Certain as the sun
Ever just as sure Rising in the east
Just a little change As the sun will rise Tale as old as time
Small to say the least Song as old as rhyme
Both a little scared Tale as old as time Beauty and the beast
Neither one prepared Tune as old as song Beauty and the beast

Ain't got time for messing around So I work real hard each and every day
And it's not my style Now things for sure are going my way
This old town can slow you down Just doing what I do
People taking the easy way Look out boys, I'm coming through
But I know exactly where I'm going And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
Getting closer and closer every day People gonna come here from everywhere
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there And I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care I'm almost there
Trials and tribulations, Ive had my share There's been trials and tribulations
There ain't nothing gonna stop me now cause I'm You know I've had my share

I WONT SAY IM IN LOVE - CHARITY/WOMEN

If there's a prize for rotten judgement CHARITY
I guess I've already won that No chance, no way
No man is worth the aggravation I won't say it, no, no
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

Try to keep it hidden why deny it, uh-oh
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it CHARITY
We know how ya feel and It's too cliche
Who you're thinking of I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson WOMEN
It feels so good when you start out You're doin' flips read our lips
My head is screaming get a grip, girl You're in love
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh CHARITY
You're way off base
WOMEN I won't say it
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling WOMEN

I won't say I'm in love At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love

JUST AROUND THE RIVERBEND - CHARITY

What I love most about rivers is: For a handsome sturdy husband
You can't step in the same river twice Who builds handsome sturdy walls
The water's always changing, always flowing And never dreams that something might be
But people, I guess, can't live like that coming?
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend I look once more
Just around the riverbend
I look once more Beyond the shore
Just around the riverbend Somewhere past the sea
Beyond the shore Don't know what for ...
Where the gulls fly free Why do all my dreams extend
Don't know what for Just around the riverbend?
What I dream the day might send Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
For me Should I choose the smoothest course
Coming for me Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
I feel it there beyond those trees Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or right behind these waterfalls Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming Just around the riverbend?

ZERO TO HERO - CHARITY/WOMEN

Bless my soul (From appearance fees and royalties
Herc was on a roll Our Herc had cash to burn
Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll Now nouveau riche and famous)
What a pro He could tell you what the Grecians earn.
Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO (Say amen
He was a no one There he goes again)
(A zero, zero) Sweet and undefeated
Now he's a hot shot And an awesome 10 for 10
(He's a hero)
(Folks lined up
Here was a kid with his act down pat Just to watch him flex)
(From zero to hero in no time flat And this perfect package
Zero to hero) packed a pair of pretty pecs
Just like that (Hercie, he comes
He sees, he conquers
When he smiled Honey, the crowds were
The girls went wild with oohs and aahs Going bonkers
And they slapped his face He showed the moxie, brains and spunk
On ev'ry vase, on ev'ry "vase" From zero to hero)
A major hunk
(Zero to hero) and who'da thunk
Who put the glad in gladiator? Herc was on a roll
(Hercules!) Undefeated
Whose daring deeds are great theater? Riding high
(Hercules!) And the nicest guy
Is he bold? Not conceited
(No one braver) He was a noe one
Is he sweet (A zero, zero)
(favorite flavor Now he's a hot shot
Hercules, Hercules, (He's a hero)
Hercules, Hercules He hit the heights at breakneck (speed)
Hercules, Hercules) From zero to hero
(Herc is a hero)
Now he's a hero.
Spoken: Yes, indeed!

Bless my soul COLORS OF THE WIND - PRISCA

You think I'm an ignorant savage Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
And you've been so many places Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
If the savage one is me Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
How can there be so much that you don't know Come roll in all the riches all around you
You don't know And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
You think you own whatever land you land on The heron and the otter are my friends
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim And we are all connected to each other
But I know every rock and tree and creature In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Has a life, has a spirit, has a nam How high will the sycamore grow
You think the only people who are people If you cut it down, then you'll never know
Are the people who look and think like you And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger moon
You'll learn things you never knew, you never For whether we are white or copper skinned
knew We need to sing with all the voices of the
mountains
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
moon You can own the Earth and still
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned All you'll own is Earth until
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains You can paint with all the colors of the wind

YOULL BE IN MY HEART - CIRU M

Come stop your crying For one so small
It will be alright You seem so strong
Just take my hand My arms will hold you
Hold it tight Keep you safe and warm
I will protect you This bond between us
from all around you Can't be broken
I will be here I will be here
Don't you cry Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart Always
Yes, you'll be in my heart I'll be with you.
From this day on When I'll be there for you always
Now and forever more Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Oh, you'll be in my heart Just look over your shoulder
No matter what they say Just look over your shoulder
You'll be in my heart, always I'll be there for you always
Always

GOD HELP THE OUTCASTS - CIRU K

I don't know if You can hear me God help my people we look to You still
Or if You're even there God help the outcasts where nobody will
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer Some ask for wealth, Some ask for fame
Some ask for glory to shine on my name
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast Some ask for love I can possess
I shouldn't speak to You Some ask for God and His angels to bless me
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too? I ask for nothing I can get by
But I know so many Less lucky than I
God help the outcasts hungry from birth
Show them the mercy they don't find on earth Please help my people the poor and downtrod
I thought we all were Children of God
God help the outcasts Children of God

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR - ALL

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true.
