Welcome to the Renaissance
War of the roses, Chaucer's tale
The brutal feudal system
Holy crusade, Bubonic plague
Can't say that we've really missed 'em
So dark and barbaric, So dull and mundane
That was so Middle Ages
That was so - Charlemagne
Welcome to the Renaissance
With poets, painters, and bon vivants
And merry minstrels
Who stroll the streets of London
A strummin' they lutes
TWO MEN:
In puffy pants and pointy leather boots!
MINSTREL AND TOWNSPEOPLE:
Welcome to the Renaissance
Where we ooh and aah you with ambiance
We're so progressive
The latest and the greatest
We bring it to you - with much ado
Welcome to the Renaissance
Where everything is new
Here we've made advances in the sciences
We have the latest gadgets and appliances
SOLO WOMAN:
Are mugs are made of pewter
SOLO MAN:
Our houses all are tudor
Decorated with a modern flair
WOMEN;
See us with our petticoats and
Farthingales
Our trendy beards we trim to look l
Like swallow tails
We're called Elizabethans
BROTHER JEREMIAH:
They're all a bunch of Heathens
BROTHER JEREMIAH/ PORTIA/
PURITAN WOMAN:
Heathens heading straight for you
Know where
While witches are burning and
Wars tend to start
We bring you moments of culture
And art
Culture and art...
Welcome to the Renaissance
Well our printing press has the
Fancy fonts
That's right we're fancy
And very literary, theatrical, too
It's what we do
Welcome to the Renaissance
Where everything is new!
MAN ONE:
Hey look it's Francis Bacon
With a chicken
WOMAN ONE:
What's he makin'
MAN ONE:
Well i think he's found a way of
Freezing heat
That's new!
MAN ONE:
Hey look it's Walter Raleigh
Found a new world by golly
WOMAN ONE:
And he's brought us all
Tobacco, What a treat!
Also new!
And we have a list of writers who
Are always writing something new
It's true! We do!
SOLO MAN:
Like who?
Like who? Like Dekker!
Woo!
John Webster!
Woo!
Ben Johnson!
UH-HUH.
And Christopher Marlowe
Thomas Kyd, Thomas Middleton,
Thomas Moore
And our brightest star
Yo! - He's the bomb, The soul of
The age
The whiz of the Elizabethan stage
He's incredible, unforgettable
He's just so freakin' awesome
Shakespeare! Shakespeare!
The brutal feudal system
Holy crusade, Bubonic plague
