Loading...

(as storytellers sing the following, ti moune and storytellers pantomime her journey. ti moune does not sing.)

[storytellers]
some say…

[storyteller 1, spoken]
how ti moune began the long journey toward the city!

[storytellers]
some say:

[storyteller 2]
some say her feet were bare
and the road was long and cruel

[storytellers]
some say:

[storytellers 2 & 3]
some say she got a ride
from a vendor and his mule

[storytellers]
some say:

[storyteller 1]
the gods pulled up in a car
and drove her all the way

[storytellers]
well, no one knows
how the real truth goes
but that’s what some say!
some say!

[little girl]
and how far did she travel?

[storytellers]
as far as you suppose

[little girl]
and how long did it take her?

[storytellers]
much longer than your nose!

[little girl]
and was she ever frightened?
or was her love too strong?
and did she know she’d end up
in our story and our song?

[storytellers]
our story and out song…

(storytellers create the hustle of the city.)

[storytellers]
some say:

[storyteller 1]
what happened when ti moune finally reached the city!

[storytellers]
some say:

[storytellers 2 & 4]
some say they laughed at her
for her peasant feet were bare

[storytellers]
some say:

[storytellers 5 & 3]
some say the vendor man
gave her shoes too small to wear

[storytellers]
some say:

[storyteller 6]
the gods said put on the shoes!
it’s a price you have to pay!

[storytellers]
the shoes were tight
but she said

[little girl]
all right!

[storytellers]
well, that’s what some say!
some say!

[storyteller 2, spoken]
at last ti moune arrived at the gates of the hotel beauxhomme

[gatekeeper, spoken]
stop!

[storyteller 6, spoken]
but the gods looked down, the gates swung open, and ti moune went in search of her daniel

[storytellers]
some say…

[storyteller 7]
some say she scrubbed the floors
’til she learned where he was kept

[storytellers]
some say…

[storyteller 8]
some say she climbed a vine
to the window where he slept

[storytellers]
some say…

[storyteller 7 & 8]
the gods just lifted her up
and placed her where he lay

[storytellers]
well, no one knows
how the real truth goes
it all depends
what you hear from friends
it’s no surprise
if it’s all just lies
[storytellers]
but that’s what some say
that’s what some say
that’s what some say
that’s what some say… [little girl]
some say…
some say…
some say…
