A Musical
Текст пісні
What the hell are musicals?
It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops
And the plot is conveyed through song
Through song? (Yes)
Wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then
Out of nowhere, he just starts singing? (Yes)
Well, that is the
Stupidest thing that I have ever heard
You're doing a play, got something to say
So you sing it? It's absurd!
Who on earth is goin' to sit there
While an actor breaks into song?
What possible thought could the audience think
Other than, "This is horribly wrong?"
Remarkably, they won't think that
(Seriously? Why not?)
Because, it's a musical, a musical
And nothing's as amazing as a musical
With song and dance, and sweet romance
And happy endings happening by happenstance
Bright lights, stage fights and a dazzling chorus
You wanna be great, then you gotta create a musical
I don't know, I find it hard to believe
People would actually pay to see something like this
Let's just say it's a Saturday night and you wanna go out on the town
Got a lady to flatter who might give it up if you don't let her down
You could go see a tragedy, but that wouldn't be very fun
Or a play from Greek mythology
See a mother have sex with her son (uh)
You could go see a drama with all of that trauma and pain
Or go see something more relaxing and less taxing on the brain
Go see a musical, a musical
A puppy piece, releasing all your bluesicals
Where crooners croon (ah-ah-ah), a catchy tune
And limber-legged ladies thrill you 'til you swoon
Oohs, ahs, big applause, and a standing ovation
The future is bright if you could just write a musical
Some make you happy
Some make you sad
Some are quite big
Some quite small
Some are too long
Some are just plays with song (oh)
Some musicals have no talking at all
(No talking at all?)
