Zidler:
Spectacular, spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can descibe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment
Returns are fixed at ten percent
You must agree that's excellent
And on top of your fee
You'll be involved artistically
Chorus:
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Elephants, Bohemians
Indians and courtesans
Acrobats and juggling bears
Exotic girls, fire-eaters
Musclemen, contortionists
Intrigue, danger and romance
Electric lights, machinery
All run with electricity
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Spectacular, spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can descibe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment
(The hills are alive with the sound of music)
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So excting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
(Duke: Yes, but what happens in the end?)
Christian:
The courtesan and sitar mam
Are pulled apart by and evil plan
Satine:
But in the end she hears his song
Christian:
And their love is just too strong
(Duke: It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside..hmm)
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Christian:
The sitar player's secret song
Helps them flee the evil one
Though the tyrant rants and rails
It is all to no abail
(Zidler: I am the evil maharajah-- you will not escape!
Satine: Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could.
Zidler: No one's going to.)
So exciting, it will make your laugh and make you cry
So delighting...
(Duke: And in the end should someone die?)
---Pause---
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Duke:
Generally, I like it.
Cheers!
