Give My Regards to Broadway

Do-Re-Mi
By: Rodgers and Hammerstein
Let’s start at the very beginning! A very good place to start.
​When you read you begin with A, B, C,
When you sing you begin with “do, re, mi”
DO-RE-MI?
DO-RE-MI! The first three notes just happen to be, “Do-Re-Mi”
“DO-RE-MI”
​DO-RE-MI-FA-SO-LA-TI….
DO a deer, a female deer.
RE a drop of golden sun!
MI a name I call myself.
FA, a long, long way to run!
SO, a needle pulling thread!
LA, a note to follow SO
TI, a drink with jam and bread!
That will bring us back to DO!
SO, DO, LA, FA, MI, DO, RE,
SO, DO, LA, TI, DO, RE, DO
When you know the notes to sing,
You can sing most anything!
FUGUE FOR TINHORNS
I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere,
And here’s a guy that says if the weather’s clear.
Can do! Can do! This guy says the horse can do.
If he says that horse can do, can do, can do!
YOU’RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED WITHOUT A SMILE
Hey, hoboman! Hey, dapper Dan!
You’ve both got your style,
But brother, you’re never fully dressed without a smile!
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly,
They stand out a mile,
But brother, you’re never fully dressed without a smile!
Who cares what they’re wearing on Main Street or Saville Row?
It’s what you wear from ear to ear, and not from head to toeThat----mat----ters…..
So, senator, so, janator!
So long for a while.
Remember you’re never fully dressed,
Though you may wear the best!
You’re never fully dressed with-out-a-smile!
CASTLE ON A CLOUD
There is a castle on a cloud.
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren’t any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a room that’s full of toys.
There are a hundred boys and girls.
Nobody shouts or talks too loud.
Not in my castle on cloud.
There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullaby.
She’s nice to see and she’s soft to touch,
She says, “Cosette, I love you very much.”
I know a place where no one’s lost.
I know a place where no one cries.
Crying at all is not allowed.
Not in my castle on a cloud.
DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?
ALL:
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 hear echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
SOLO:
Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free!
ALL:
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!
SOLO:
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 a chance?
The lives of the martyrs will give us a new day in France!
ALL:
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!
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK
Oh, the Thinks you can think
If you’re willing to try….
Gerlach:
Think invisible ink!
Or a gink with a stink!
Or a stair to the sky…
Bravo:
If you open your mind,
Oh, the Thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose….
Boomer:
Oh, the Thinks you can think
When you think about….Seuss (4x)
ALL:
Seuss, Seuss, Seuss, Seuss….Seu--ss
Oh, the Thinks you can think!
Any Thinker who thinks
Can come up with a few!
(SG)
Oh, the Thinks you can think!
Think a trip on a ship,
To the Vipper of Vipp,
Or to Solla Sollew…
Solo:
Think of beautiful Schlopp…
With a cherry on top!
ALL:
You don’t need an excuse!
ALL:
Oh, the Thinks you can think
When you think about….
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss….
Solo:
Solo:
Solo:
Think of an elephant up in a tree.
Think of a person too tiny to see.
Think of a bird with a one-feather tail
ALL;
Going on adventure down a dangerous trail! Aaah!
Solo:
Solo:
Solo:
Think of a bird who flies off on a spree.
Think of a kangaroo, sour as can be.
Think of some monkeys with trouble in store.
Dood/Piet/Gerlach: Think of something horrible and hairy,
Add Bravo/Boomer: Something sinister and scary,
ALL:
That you’ve never dared to think of before.
Think of nobody here, feeling of fear
And the darkness of night---(oooh, oooh)
All alone in your room, as you’re facing your doom,
Think a glimmer of light--- (aah, aah)
But I hope you’re prepared, to be scarder than scared
‘Cause this ain’t Mother Goose!
Dangers right on the brink, When you Think about Seuss!
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!
Spoken Solo:
An unusual story will soon be unfurled,
Of an elephant trying to save a small world.
And a boy from that world who has Thinks just like you!
ALL:
Just Think! From the Planet of Who.
And the smallest of Small.
To the Jungle of Nool,
And the largest of all!
You think and think and think and think and think and think and
think and think,
Just Think!
Oh, the Thinks you can think,
Think and wonder and dream,
Far and wide as you dare!
(Small Group)
ALL:
Oh the Thinks you can think
When your Thinks have run dry
In the blink of an eye
There’s another think there!
If you open your mind,
Oh, the thinks you will find,
Lining up to get loose!
Oh, the thinks you can think!
Oh the thinks you can think!
Oh the thinks you can think!
Oh the thinks you can think!
Oh the thinks you can think!
When you think about Seuss! (3x)
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!
SEIZE THE DAY
Lyrics by: Jack Feldman
SOLO (slowly):
Music by: Alan Menkin
Open the gates and seize the day.
Don’t be afraid and don’t delay.
Nothing can break us.
No one can make us give our rights away.
Arise and seize the day.
(more quickly)
SOLO:
ALL:
Now is the time to seize the day!
Now is the time to seize the day!
SOLO:
ALL:
Send out the call and join the fray!
Send out the call and join the fray!
ALL:
Wrongs will be righted if we’re not united!
Let us seize the day!
SOLO:
ALL:
Friends of the friendless, seize the day!
Friends of the friendless, seize the day!
SOLO:
ALL:
Raise up the torch and light the way.
Raise up the torch and light the way.
ALL:
Proud and defiant, we’ll slay the giant
Let us seize the day!
SOLO:
ALL:
Neighbor to neighbor, Father to son,
One for all and all for one!
Open the gates and seize the day!
Open the gates and seize the day!
SOLO:
ALL:
Don’t be afraid and don’t delay!
Don’t be afraid and don’t delay!
ALL:
Nothing can break us,
No one can make us give our rights away!
Neighbor to neighbor, Father to son,
One for all and all for one!
