Ghosts the Musical

Five, six, seven, eight

I grew up in New York, greatest colony that ever was
But here's what's crazy, no one even knows it
'Cause my name's forgotten, I know I must be destined for more
Like stupid Hamilton got
My life story as a book, I want it all
A biopic that's starring like Jake Gyllenhaal

My name remembered as a big time hero of war
I want a Broadway musical that's all about me
One that premieres to frenzied acclaim
I want a real live show that real live people go see
So everyone remembers my name
It's Captain Isaac Higgintoot

Well, my name's Alberta, and I've got something to say too
I'm a real humdinger jazz singer, I can belt a solid B
And someone killed me, but who?
You'll have to wait and see
My life is rife with drama that's just fit to be sung

Give me a Broadway musical, my talent's first class
Give me that spotlight, and you will see (it's giving it up, I'm doing)
The crowds will clap when flappers flap around me on mass
Time for a show that's all about me

I think you'll find the American public prefer an educational
Historical musical to a fluffy piece of 1920s' nonsense
After all, I was instrumental in the forming of this nation and

Um, actually, indigenous governments were the model
For American federalism
Where's the musical about that?
What about musical for Thorfinn?
Well, a chorus of burly Viking men does have its appeal

A scouting musical makes sense, we're always singing
I hear gilded musical with servants' bells a-ringing
A hippie musical where we're all in a trance
A musical where no one's wearing pants (ooh-yeah, have fun)

Give Ghosts a Broadway musical, it's not much to ask
There's one for cats, so why not for Ghosts? (It's mainly just about cat?)
We don't count Phantom either, he's a guy in a mask
We want our opening night champagne toasts (smoov toast)
You better get your tickets fast to see our dear departed cast
We've got a big old haunted house full
Give Ghosts our Broadway big-time musical
