MUSICALS MEDLEY LYRICS

GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE

Oh, oh, oh woke up today, feeling the way I always do. Oh, oh, oh hungry for something that I can’t eat, then I hear the beat That rhythm of town starts calling me down, It’s like a message from high above. Oh, oh, oh, pulling me out to the smiles and the streets that I love.

CHORUS Good Morning Baltimore! Ev’ry day’s like an open door! Ev’ry night is a fantasy! Ev’ry sound’s like a symphony! Good morning Baltimore! And some day when I take to the floor, The world’s gonna wake up and see – Baltimore and me!

WHO WILL BUY?

Who will buy this wonderful morning? Such a sky you never did see! Who will tie it up with a ribbon and put it in a box for me? So I can see it at my leisure, whenever things go wrong, And I would keep it as a treasure to last my whole life long. Who will buy this wonderful feeling? I’m so high, I swear I could fly! Me oh my, I don’t want to lose it! So what am I to do, to keep the sky so blue? There must be someone who will buy!

ELECTRICITY ALL I can’t really explain it, I haven’t got the words. It’s a feeling that you can’t control. I suppose it’s like forgetting, losing who you are And at the same time something makes you whole.

PART 1 Ah - - -, Ah - - - But then I feel it move me like a burning deep inside, ah - - - - Suddenly I’m flying, flying like a bird, like electricity, Electricity sparks inside of me and I’m free, I’m free. Ah - - and I’m free, I’m free, Ooh ---- I’m free!

PART 2 It’s like that there’s some music playing in your ear But the music is impossible, impossible to hear. (Part 1 sings) Something bursting me wide open, impossible to hide. And suddenly I’m flying, flying like a bird, like electricity, Electricity sparks inside of me and I’m free, I’m free. Electricity sparks inside of me and I’m free, I’m free Ooh - - I’m free!

YOU’RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED WITHOUT A SMILE

Hey, hobo man, hey dapper Dan, you both got your style, But brother you’re never fully dressed without a smile! Your clothes may be Beau Brumelley, they stand out a mile, But brother you’re never fully dressed without a smile! Who cares what they’re wearing on Main Street or Saville Row? It’s what you wear from ear to ear and not from head to toe that matters! So, Senator, so janitor, so long for a while Remember you’re never fully dressed, though you may wear the best! You’re never fully dressed without a smile!

ANY DREAM WILL DO

I wore my coat ( I wore my coat) with golden lining (ah --) Bright colours shining (ah - ) wonderful and new. And in the east (and in the east) the dawn was breaking (ah--) And the world was waking (ah - ) any dream will do!

ALL A crash of drums, a flash of light, my golden coat flew out of sight! The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone (ah - - - )

May I return (may I return) to the beginning (ah - - ) The light is dimming (ah -) and the dream is too.

The world and I (the world and I) we are still waiting (ah - -) Still hesitating (ah - ) any dream will do.

Give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat! Give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat!

(Ahs at the same time as the melody for part 1 and 2 alternating – see score)

SIR DUKE

Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand, With an equal opportunity for all to sing and dance and clap their hands. Just because a record has a groove don’t make it in the groove, But you can tell right away at letter A when the people start to move!

CHORUS They can feel it all over, they can feel it all over people. They can feel it all over, they can feel it all over people.

SCAT SINGING SECTION ‘Ba ba da da, ba da da’….. etc.
