Put On A Happy Face (Bye Bye Birdie) 3:17
Charles Strouse/Lee Adams
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
(2 bar instrumental)
Put on a happy face
(2 bar instrumental)
Put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face
DANCE
I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

‘S Wonderful 2:40
Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
Music by George Gershwin
Intro (or play-on) 10 bars
(sing)
's wonderful, 's marvellous
you should care for me!
's awful nice, 's paradise,

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!
(8 bar instrumental)
(sing or dance)
's magnificque, 's what I seek
You should care for me.
's elegant, 's what I want,

My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,
's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me
(slower tempo – sing)
My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,
's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for…
That you should care for...
That you should care for me.......

You Can Always Count On Me (City Of Angels) 3:21
Lyrics by Cy Coleman
Music by David Zippel
I'm one of a long line of good girls
Who choose the wrong guy to be sweet on
The girl with a face that says welcome
That men can wipe their feet on
I'm there when he calls me
The trusted girl Friday alright
But what good does it do me
Alone on a Saturday night
I don't need a map
I nat'rally head for the dead end street
You can always count on me
I'm caught in a trap
When joy is approaching then I retreat
I'm at home with misery
I've been "the other woman" since my puberty began
I crashed the junior prom
And met the only married man
I'm always on tap
For romance or choc'late that's bitter sweet
You can always count on me

Story Of My Life (Shrek the Musical) 3:04
Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire
Music by Jeanine Tesori
[Guard]
(Spoken)
Alright, now when I call your name step forward
Pinocchio the puppet
[Pinocchio]
Uh I’m not a puppet, I’m a real boy
(nose extends!)
[Guard]
That’s your patch of mud down there
[Pinocchio]
Ah, dumped on a swamp,
Man I tell you sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap!
(Sung)
Life is disappointing, woe is what I know
Outed by nose, that’s just how it goes, for poor Pinocchio
Story of my life
Always doomed to fail
Cheated by a fox, swallowed by a whale
That’s the story of my life
Oh yeah!
That’s the story of my life!
[Shoemakers Elf]
Strife is never ending
[Guard]
Peter Pan!
[Peter Pan]
Banished from the town
[Guard]
Ugly Duckling
[Ugly Duckling]
They dragged me from the pond
[Fairy Godmother]
They broke my magic wand
[Three Pigs]
They blow our condos down!
[Guard]
Wicked Witch!
[Wicked Witch]
Life is but a witch hunt
[Momma Bear]
Momma’s in the mud
Momma’s in distress
[Garden Gnome]
They ridiculed my hat
[Three Pigs]
They said that we were fat!
[Big Bad Wolf]
They tore my cotton granny dress
And called me a hot and tranny mess
[Guard]
Sugar Plum Fairy
[Fairytale Creatures]
Story of my life
Booted from the ball
Told to go away
[Humpty Dumpty]
Toppled off a wall
[Fairytale Creatures]
That’s the story of my life
[Guard]
Your late rabbit
[White Rabbit]
That’s the story of my life
[Guard]
Have fun you guys
[Fairytale Creatures]
That’s the story of my life
[Guard]
And remember if we find you back in the kingdom
You will be executed
[Fairytale Creatures]
‘Exclaim!’
I always dream I’d get a happy ending
[Wicked Witch]
And this right here
Not how it goes!
[Fairytale Creatures]
I always dreamed I’d get an ever after
If this is it, it blows, it blows, it blows!
[Pinocchio]
This is worse than that case of Dutch Elm disease I caught in Tiawana
[Fairytale Creatures]
Story of my life
All the wasted prays
All the broken dream
[Bear Family]
All the broken chairs
[Fairytale Creatures]
All the damage done
[Bear Family]
All the busted beds
[Fairytale Creatures]
All the shattered bowls
[Bear Family]
And the porridge on our heads
[Fairytale Creatures]
That’s the story my of life
Yes sir, that’s the story of my life
Oy Vey!
That’s the story of my...
Life!
[Pinocchio]
Crap!

Feed The Birds (Mary Poppins – Stage Show Version) 3:37
Richard Sherman/Robert Sherman
Bird Woman:
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
Mary Poppins:
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she calls,
Bird Woman:
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs;
Come feed the little birds,
Show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Mary Poppins:
Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies
(Choir sings 8 bars)
Mary Poppins:
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can’t see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she’s calling to you
Bird Woman:
Feed the birds tuppence a bag.
Mary and Bird Woman:
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Bird Woman:
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

Defying Gravity (Wicked) 3:05
Stephen Schwartz
Solo version - shortened to 3:05 min
ELPHABA
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!
GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:
ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till 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:
(6 bars instrumental – change key)
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 was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
Ahhh!

Mother Knows Best (Tangled) 3:07
Lyrics by Glenn Slater
Music by Alan Menken
Note: Complete song here but in the film version the verse in “bold italics” was cut.
Mother Gothel:
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
Rapunzel:
I know but...
Mother Gothel:
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
Rapunzel:
But -Mother Gothel:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague
Rapunzel:
No!
Mother Gothel:
Yes!
Rapunzel:
But -Mother Gothel:
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When it's too late
You'll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naïve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
Rapunzel:
Yes?
Mother Gothel:
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.
Rapunzel:
Yes, Mother.
Mother Gothel:
I love you very much, dear.
Rapunzel:
I love you more.
Mother Gothel:
I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best

Pulled (The Addams Family Musical) 3:00
Words & Music by Andrew Lippa
[WEDNESDAY]
I don't have a sunny disposition.
I'm not known for being too amused.
My demeanor's locked in one position.
See my face? I'm enthused.
Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled.
Bunny rabbits make me want to cry.
All my inhibitions have been muzzled,
And I think I know why.
I;m being pulled in a new direction,
But I think I like it.
I think I like it.
I'm being pulled in a new direction.
Through my painful pursuit,
Somehow birdies took root.
All the things I detested impossibly cute.
God! What do I do?
Pulled--Mother always said be kind to strangers,
But she doesn't know what they destroy.
I can feel the clear and present dangers,
When she learns that the boy...
Has got me pulled in a new direction,
But I think I like it.
[PUGSLEY]
That was good! That was good!
[WEDNESDAY]
I think I like it.
[PUGSLEY]
Do it again! Do it again!
[WEDNESDAY]
I'm being pulled in a new direction,
But this feeling, I know is impossible,
So I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go.
It's disgustingly true!
Pulled, pulled, pulled!
Puppy dogs with droopy faces,
Unicorns with dancing mice,
Sunrise in wide open spaces,
DisneyWorld - I'll go there twice!
Butterflies and picnic lunches,
Bunches of chrysanthamums,
Lollipops and pillow fights and christmas eve,
Sugar plums!
String quartets and Chia Pets,
And afternoon banana splits,
Angels watching as I sleep,
And Liberace's Greatest Hits!
Have got me pulled in a new direction!
If they keep insisting, I'll stop resisting.
Just watch me pulled in a new direction.
I should stay in the dark,
Not obey every spark,
But the boy has a bite,
Better far than his bark!
And you bet I'll bite too,
Do what's truly taboo,
As I'm pulled in a new direction!

MARGOT,

Of course he will propose
SERENA

(Spoken) It's almost there but...
(Sung) This dress needs to seal the deal
Make a grown man kneel
But it can't come right out and say bride
Cant look like I'm desperate or
Like I'm waiting for it
I gotta leave Warner his pride
So bride is more implied
ELLE,
omigod
omigod, you guys
This one's perfect and its just my size
See, dreams really do come true, you never have to compromise
omigod
FRAT GIRLS,
omigod

ALL GIRLS.
omigod
You guys!
omigod!

The Trolley Song (Meet Me in St Louis) 2:32
Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane
~Judy~
With my high-starched collar, and my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to lose a jolly hour on the Trolley and lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie
He was quite the handsomest of men
I started to yen, so I counted to ten then I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat, and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn’t stepped upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I couldn’t speak because he scared me half to death
,
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels
When the universe reels
~All~
The day was bright, the air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off you’re feet
You tried to sing, but couldn’t squeak
In fact, you loved him so you couldn’t even speak
~Judy~
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned he stay on with me
And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine
To the end of the line

Morning Person (Shrek the Musical) 3:24
Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire
Music by Jeanine Tesori
FIONA:
Good morning birds.
Good morning trees.
Oh what a lovely day.
The suns so big it hurts my eyes
but really – that's okay!
A brand new day
with things to do.
So many plans to make.
I've had 6 cups of coffee so
I'm really wide awake.
I've always been a morning person.
A morning girl – hooray!
BLUEBIRD:
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
FIONA:
Hooray!
BLUEBIRD:
(higher)
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
FIONA:
Hooray!
BLUEBIRD:
(even higher)
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
FIONA:
Hoo-raaaaaaaa-(off-key)-aaaaaaaay!
(bird explodes)
Good morning deer.
Say have you heard?
Today's my wedding day.
I haven't met my husband yet,
but I'm hopeful anyway
I’ll wear a gown,
we’ll have a ball,
and dance forever more.
(dancing with scared deer)
He'll take me in his massive arms
and spin me ‘round the floor.
I've always been a morning person!
A morning girl—
(She twirls the deer right off a cliff.)
Hooray.
(A couple rats scurry past her.)
FIONA:
Why, good morning, Pied Piper.
PIED PIPER:
Bah, what’s so good about it? I can’t get these rats to follow me!
FIONA:
I think you may need to change your tune, Mister.
(she takes the pipe from him)
PIED PIPER:
Hey, give me my flute back!
(Fiona plays the flute expertly, of course. The Pied Piper watches in
disbelief as the stage is suddenly swarmed by a line
of rats. Fiona is delighted by the dancing vermin. Big tap break between her
and the rats.)
FIONA:
A brand new start.
A palette cleanse.
As fresh as lime sorbet.
Last night I was a monster
but this morning…
this morning…
this morning…
I’m okay!
This morning I’m okay!
