| Lyrics: | Zidler
Spectacular, spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can describe 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 exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So
delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, 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 exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run
for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run
for fifty years
Spectacular, spectacular!
No words in the vernacular
Can
describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment
[The hills are alive with
the sound of music...]
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting,
it will run for fifty years
So exciting, 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 man
Are pulled apart by an 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...hmmm]
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
avail
[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 you 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 |
