Dee Does Broadway

What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Put down the knitting, The book and the broom. Time for a holiday. Life is Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Come taste the wine, Come hear the band. Come blow your horn, Start celebrating; Right this way, Your table's waiting No use permitting soem prophet of doom To wipe every smile away. Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret! I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie With whom I shared Four sordid rooms in Chelsea She wasn't what you'd call A blushing flower... As a matter of fact She rented by the hour. The day she died the neighbors came to snicker: "Well, thats what comes from to much pills and liquor." But when I saw her laid out like a Queen She was the happiest...corpse... I'd ever seen. I think of Elsie to this very day. I'd remember how'd she turn to me and say: "What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret." And as for me, I made up my mind back in Chelsea, When I go, I'm going like Elsie. Start by admitting From cradle to tomb Isn't that long a stay. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Only a Cabaret, old chum, And I love a Cabaret!

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod Did Sweeney Todd? The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He kept a shop in London town. Of fancy clients and good renown And what if none of their souls were saved they went to their maker impeccably shaved. By Sweeney, by Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Company: Swing your razor wide! Sweeney, hold it to the skies. Freely flows the blood of those who moralize. His needs were few, his room was bare. A lavabo and a fancy chair. A mug of suds, and a leather strop, an apron, a towel, a pail, and a mop. For neatness he deserved a nod, Did Sweeney Todd? The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Inconspicuous Sweeney was, Quick, and quiet and clean he was. Back of his smile, under his word, Sweeney heard music that nobody heard. Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned, like a perfect machine he planned. Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle, Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle, Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle, Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney Todd: Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! Company: Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! Sweeney Todd: He served a dark and avengeful God! Company: He served a dark and avengeful God! Sweeney Todd: What happened then, well that's the play, and he wouldn't want us to give it away... Company: Not Sweeney Not Sweeney Todd The demon barber of Fleet... Street... Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney!

Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences ... 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 thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night ... Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live as you've never lived before ... Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ... Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ... Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight - the darkness of the music of the night ... Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be ! Only then can you belong to me ... Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me savour each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ... You alone can make my song take flight - help me make the music of the night . . .

The joint is jumpin', It's really jumpin', Come in, cats, and check your hats, I mean this joint is jumpin'! The piano's thumpin', The dancers are bumpin', This here spot is more than hot, In fact, the joint is jumpin'! Check your weapons at the door, Be sure to pay your quarter, Burn your leather on the floor, Grab anybody's daughter.

Every Mose is on his toes, I mean this joint is jumpin'! Uh-oh! No time for talkin', This time is walkin', yes, Get your jug and cut the rug, I think the joint is jumpin'. Get your pig feet, bread and gin, There's plenty in the kitchen! Who is that that just came in? Just look at the way he's switchin'! Aw, mercy, don't mind the hour, I'm in power. I've got bail if we go to jail. I mean this joint is jumpin', no, no, no, no! The joint is jumpin', It's really jumpin', We're all bums when the wagon comes, I mean, this joint is jumpin'!

I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all, So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you? Some get a kick from cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrific'ly too Yet I get a kick out of you. I get a kick ev'rytime I see You standing there before me. I get a kick though it's clear to me You obviously don't adore me. I get no kick in a plane, Flying too high with some guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do, Yet I get a kick out of you.

We got sunlight on the sand, We got moonlight on the sea, We got mangoes and bananas You can pick right off the tree, We got volleyball and ping-pong And a lot of dandy games! What ain't we got? We ain't got dames! We get packages from home, We get movies, we get shows, We get speeches from our skipper And advice from Tokyo Rose, We get letters doused with perfume We get dizzy from the smell! What don't we get? You know darn well! We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for What we need is what there ain't no substitute for... There is nothin' like a dame, Nothin' in the world, There is nothin' you can name That is anythin' like a dame! We feel restless, we feel blue, We feel lonely, and in brief, We feel ev'ry kind of feelin', But the feelin' of relief We feel hungry as the wolf felt When he met Red Hiding-hood What don't we feel? We don't feel good! Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother, There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever In any way, shape or form like any other. There is nothin' like a dame, Nothin' in the world, There is nothin' you can name That is anythin' like a dame! Nothin' else was built the same, Nothin' in the world As the soft and wavy frame Like the silhouette of a dame! There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame. So suppose a dame ain't bright Or completely free from flaws, Or as faithful as a bird dog, Or as kind as Santa Claus, It's a waste of time to worry Over things that they have not, We're thankful for the things they got! There is nothin' you can name That is anythin' like a dame! There are no books like a dame, And nothin' looks like a dame. There are no drinks like a dame, And nothin' thinks like a dame, Nothin' acts like a dame, Or attracts like a dame. There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here That can't be cured by putting him near A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle dazzle 'em Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it And the reaction will be passionate Give 'em the old hocus pocus Bread and feather 'em How can they see with sequins in their eyes? Long as you keep 'em way off balance How can they spot you got no talents? Razzle dazzle 'em And they'll never catch wise! Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle dazzle 'em Back since the days of old Methuselah Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler Give 'em the old Double whammy When you're in trouble, go into your dance Though you are stiffer than a girder They let ya get away with a murder Razzle dazzle 'em Razzle dazzle 'em Razzle dazzle 'em And you've got a romance

Tonight, tonight It all began tonight I saw you and the world went away Tonight, tonight There's only you tonight What you are, what you do, what you say Today, all day I had the feeling A miracle would happen I know now I was right For here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight Tonight, tonight The world is full of light With suns and moons all over the place Tonight, tonight The world is wild and bright Going mad Shooting sparks into space Today, the world was just an address A place for me to live in No better than all right For here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight Hold my hand and we're halfway there. Hold my hand and I'll take you there Somehow, Some day, Somewhere!
