galileo the musical - the magic tube lyrics
cosimo:
before the evenings over, i’ve got a gift for you
a novelty from holland, it really is quite new
before you get some shut eye, and get your peaceful rest,
i thought you’d like to borrow this tube to help your quest
galileo:
a tube with gl-ss attached, at either end… what could this be
but looking through, i can’t believe what i can see
cosimo:
my father sent from holland, a laugh it is for sure
it makes things look far closer, the craze of the year
it might help you at night time, in the study of the sky
to bring the stars much closer, much better than the eye!
galileo:
the simplest of inventions,
drew from a casual mention
could ease financial tension
and nest a healthy pension!
they won’t think it’s surprising
that i’m so enterprising
i’ll tell them that this project
took countless years of logic
the money from this ruse
will help me make the news
that i’ve proved copernicus….
the magic tube
the magic tube
the magic tube from italy
a dutchman’s toy, in my employ
will help to prove my “mad” theory
the magic tube
the magic tube
the magic tube from italy
now human sight
is armed with might
the heaven’s secrets shall reveal
the heaven’s secrets shall reveal
an admiral of the italian navy:
for naval application
the tube is a sensation!
we’ll all see foe’s true colours
when miles make sighting duller
heavenly choir:
blessed galileo!
the doge of venice:
i see its use in leisure
the tube will give great pleasure
the citizens will use it,
i hope they don’t abuse it!
heavenly choir:
blessed galileo!
university chancellor:
40 years of toil
so diligent and loyal
deserves a plump reward
chorus
the magic tube
the magic tube
the magic tube from italy
the world shall bow
to our know-how
another page in history!

the world shall bow

galileo:
what a situation!
i’ve caused a great sensation!
all this talk of hero
i really need the lira!
heavenly choir:
blessed galileo!
university chancellor:
this “city of creation”
gives thanks to your invention
we thank you for your trouble
your salary is doubled
heavenly choir:
blessed galileo!
mayor of rome:
venetian art is blessed
with brains that are the best
like n-ble galileo!
chorus
the magic tube

the magic tube from italy
the world shall bow
to our know-how
another page in history!
