original broadway cast of "allegro" - allegro lyrics

Loading...

[charlie]
our world is for the forceful
and not for sentimental folk
but brilliant and resourceful
and paranoiac gentle folk

[joe and emily]
not soft and sentimental folk

[charlie]
“allegro!”, a musician
would so describe the speed of it
the clash and competition
of counterpoint

[emily]
the need of it?

[charlie]
we cannot prove the need of it!

we know no other way
of living out a day
our music must be galloping and g+y

[joe]
we m+ffle all the undertones
the minor blood+and+thunder tones
the overtones are all we care to play
[all three]
hysterically frantic
we’re stubbornly romantic
and doggedly determined to be g+y

[emily]
brisk, lively, merry and bright
allegro
same tempo morning and night
allegro
don’t stop, whatever you do
do something dizzy and new
keep up the hullabaloo
allegro

[ensemble]
allegro

[emily]

[joe]
we spin and we spin and we spin and we spin
playing a game no one can win
the men who corner wheat
the men who corner gin
the men who rule the airwaves
the denizens of din

[joe and ensemble]
they spin and they spin
they spin and they spin

[charlie]
the girls who dig for gold
and won’t give in for tin
the lilies of the field
so femininely thin
they toil not
they toil not
but oh, how they spin!

[charlie and ensemble]
oh, how they spin
oh, how they spin
[joe]
may’s in love with kay’s husband
he’s in love with sue
sue’s in love with may’s husband

[joe and male ensemble]
what are they to do?

[joe]
tom’s in love with tim’s wife
she’s in love with sam
sam’s in love with tom’s wife
so they’re in a jam

[charlie]
they are smart little sheep
who have lost their way

[charlie, joe and emily]
blah!
blah!
blah!

[ensemble]
brisk, lively, merry and bright
allegro
same tempo morning and night
allegro

[emily]
don’t stop, whatever you do
do something dizzy and new

[joe]
keep up the hullabaloo
allegro

[ensemble]
allegro

[charlie]
allegro

[ensemble]
allegro
allegro
allegro
