Loading...

[gatsby]
i have waited five years and today is the day
i have spared no expense, all that stands in my way
is a tiny little cottage with a tiny little table
filled with tiny finger sandwiches

(spoken)
i am not okay

(sung)
only four hours left and there’s too much to do
i don’t know what wear, what to say, how to stand when she’s standing inside the foyer
of a tiny little cottage, at a tiny little table
filled with tiny finger sandwiches, drown me in the bay

[nick, spoken]
mr. gatsby? it’s 7 o’clock in the morning

[gatsby, spoken]
today’s the day!
have you got everything you need
in the shapе of+ of tea?

[nick, spoken]
i picked up some lеmon cakes at finn’s
[gatsby, spoken]
at what?

[nick, spoken]
it’s a delicatessen, i hope that’s okay

[gatsby, spoken]
yes, of course, of course, they’re fine

paper says the rain should pass by

[nick, spoken]
a quick summer storm. maybe there’ll be a rainbow!

[gatsby, spoken]
this is an omen! we need to cancel the whole thing!

[nick]
it is tea, it’s only tea
no need for such commotion
soon you’ll be laughin’, reminiscin’, you will see
it is tea, it’s only tea

[gatsby]
i’m gonna walk into the ocean
[nick]
you’re gonna go and put your feet up
and leave it all to me

[gatsby, spoken]
of course, you’re right. i’ll just go get changed and+
well, i didn’t want to be a bother, so i picked up a few tea things
i’ll bring those on by. and some shrubbery

[nick, spoken]
and remember, it’s only tea

[gatsby]
put the oysters on ice (oh, oh)
cut the lilacs and cake (oh, oh)

[ensemble]
shuck the oysters
cut the cake

[gatsby]
bring them over at once (oh, oh)
this is all make or break (oh, oh)

[ensemble]
bring them over
make or break
[gatsby]
it’s a

[gatsby & ensemble]
simple

[gatsby]
chance encounter at a

[gatsby & ensemble]
simple

[gatsby]
little table
filled with

[gatsby & ensemble]
simple

[gatsby]
little sandwiches (simple)

(spoken)
this is a mistake

[ensemble]
it’s time for tea
it’s time for tea

[gatsby]
is it pinstripe or plaid?
is it two+piece or three?

[ensemble]
pin or plaid, what does he need?

[gatsby]
is it olive or orval or brown? (oh, oh, oh, oh)
i want carefree and fun (oh, oh)
but not rodeo clown (oh, oh)
she should know that i mean business
while i’m also being casual
with teeny+tiny sandwiches

(spoken)
i should go lie down

[ensemble]
easy+peasy, teeny+tiny
scrummy+yummy
sandwiches!

[gatsby]
it is tea, it’s only tea

[ensemble]
ah+ah+ah+ah

[gatsby]
it’s not so complicated

[ensemble]
it’s not too complicated at all

[gatsby]
soon we’ll be sittin’, sippin’, lost in memory

[ensemble]
lost in memory

[gatsby]
it is tea, it’s only tea
it’s just been elevated

[ensemble]
and not premeditated

[gatsby]
oh, what a pleasant bit of serendipity

will she see i’ve made my world (ah+ah+ah)
in the image of her dreams?
the closer that i get (ahh+ah+ah)
the farther that she seems
but there is no too much (ah+ah+ah)
there is no too far
there is only tea (ah+ah)
and the rewrite of the stars

[ensemble]
rewrite the stars

[gatsby, spoken]
how do i look?

[nick, spoken]
perfectly tailored

[gatsby, spoken]
too tailored? i told them to keep it casual!

[gatsby, nick, & ensemble]
it is tea, it’s only tea

[nick]
no need for ostentation (ah+ah+ah)

[gatsby]
a little decoration

[nick]
soon you’ll be laughin, reminiscin’, you will see

[ensemble]
it is only tea

[gatsby & nick]
it is tea, it is tea

[gatsby, spoken]
i’m going home

[nick, spoken]
it’s only+, wait what was that?

[gatsby]
daisy isn’t coming, i am going, thanks for helping
but i cannot wait all day

[nick]
wait!

[gatsby]
she is late (oh, oh)
so i’m off to go scream in a jar (oh, oh)

[nick, spoken]
she’s not late, gatsby, stay where you are!

[gatsby]
in a tiny little cabin (tea!)
where i’m currently going manic (tea!)
a tiny little cabin (tea!)

[nick, spoken]
this is not the time to panic

[gatsby]
a tiny little cabin

[nick]
there’s the car

[ensemble]
it’s time for tea

[nick, spoken]
gatsby?
