This Crazy Place / Finale Act One
That back there
Is such a painful minute
Who the hell
Would want t' stay in it?
I'd rather forget it!
Who'd want t' face it?
Did sumpin' happen?
I can't place it!
Speakin' of places
And speakin' of faces
Let's speak of anything
That'd be
...that'd-
Aces!
That back there
It sorta let the rain in
You ain't here
T' hear us all complainin'
Too much strain
Y'know it's awful drainin'
Why push pain?
You're here for entertainin'!
Speaking of pushin'
Come pull up a cushion
Toss me my cane and my hat!
Let's have a little of that
And that
And that
Yes, that!
That place that's glad to see your face
And your face is glad to see that place
'Cause it's safe inside
That one
Safe
Place!
Here's the only place to play inside
We'll stay inside here and play
All happy faces smiling bright
This family has no worries
Ri-i-ight?
Tell it that way -
That's the sure way -
This is your spot -
Have it your way
Yes, the whole world
Is a show where
Trouble pops up -
Then it's nowhere
Jus' that kinda place!
Jus' that kinda place
When trouble comes, just wait, it passes off
We won't fight, we'll work our asses off
Just to have this one
Great
Place!
The enemy's here
The enemy's there
The smell o' the enemy fills the air
They're takin' us all
They're comin' from far and wide
They're takin' us over
With never a place 't' hide
The enemy's here
Y' try'n' be nice
But there's always a price!
Y' take it 'n' take it
'N' finally have yer day
The enemy's dead
But look at the price y'pay!
Now you're cookin'
Now you're copin'
Get to Satin -
She's still mopin'
Such a long, long face
Such a long, long face
You can't throw the pieces away and say it never happened!
It happened! There was a bike - then they came -
Now it's broken, it's gone-
Spee-eakin' of broken
Look, here is a token
Of my undyin' esteem
You just can't change it around like that, Leroy-
See that pretty face beam!
Say it's all been a dream
Say it's all
Been a dream
It's all been a dream
This must be the place that's makin' good
By takin' good care of you
See how we run run run run run
To give you fun fun fun fun fun!
This working place -
This playing place -
This crazy place -
This paying place -
This noisy place -
This dizzy place -
This gaudy place -
This busy place -
We'll lead a merry chase for you -
All those troubles we'll erase for you -
Keepin' up a cheery pace for you -
Shinin' up our shiny face -
Yes, this
Must
Be
The
Place!
Is such a painful minute
Who the hell
Would want t' stay in it?
I'd rather forget it!
Who'd want t' face it?
