Fancy Nancy The Musical (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)
I'm a Tree
You are going to be a tree
Say what?!
Me, a tree?
No, that can't be
Move away, let me see
Gee
Oh, Nancy
You so wanted to be a mermaid
But I bet you'll be a wonderful tree
That's right, because everything you do is so, so special
I guess
This is the very worst thing that has ever happened!
It can't be true
It must be fake
I'm really sure that this is just a big mistake
A tree's not French
A tree's not fancy
Yet there it is in black and white
The tree is Nancy
A tree can never be iridescent—that means shiny
A tree does not wear ribbons in her hair
A tree can't even wear a simple tutu
It's unacceptable
Outrageous
And so disadvantageous
All of those are fancy for unfair
Guess what? We're putting on a show in dance class
Your very first dance performance? Nancy, that's wonderful!
No it's not! I wanted to be a mermaid.
They made me a tree
Oh. Well trees are lovely! Majestic, noble
No they're not! They're ordinary.
That's a fancy word for there's a lot of them
Well, it's exciting to be in a show no matter what part you have
Not when your costume is brown
There's no way to make brown look fancy
Oh, Bree! How are you?
I'm an oyster, that's how I am
An oyster doesn't dance, it only sits there
A lazy lump that lines the ocean floor
It waits there at the bottom of the water
Until a wave can push it to the shore
Madame Lucille, what did you do?
We always dreamt about our dazzling debut
Goodbye, my lovely mermaid gown
So long, my shell tiara crown
I'll spend the whole show sitting down
I'll be a stump all dressed in brown
Woe is me
Woe is me
I'm an oyster
And I'm a tree
Say what?!
Me, a tree?
No, that can't be
Move away, let me see
Gee
Oh, Nancy
You so wanted to be a mermaid
But I bet you'll be a wonderful tree
That's right, because everything you do is so, so special
