My dad didn't know what to get me for my birthday (and neither did I :)), so last night he took me to see Hairspray on Broadway. It was so good! I kept telling my mom that she needs to see it. I really want to see it again. Since I'm terrible at giving summaries to anything, I'll just let you all see it for yourselves! Here's the last song I'll post for The Sound of Music, then I'll post a song from Hairspray. This time, when I post songs, I'll put them in order :)
Sixteen Going on Seventeen Reprisefrom The Sound of Music
[Maria:]
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart
[Liesl:]
When that happens, after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow I know I'll jump up and go
If ever he calls my name
[Maria:]
Gone are your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Lo and behold you're someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling sixteen going on seventeen
Wait a year . . .
[Liesl:]
I'll wait a year . . .
[Maria:]
Just wait a year . . .
[Maria and Liesl:]
Or two
Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray
TRACY
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 that beat
The 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
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every 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
Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street
All dance round my feet
They seem to say
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step
I know every song
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead!
ENSEMBLE
Before she drops dead!
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move
When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no
But my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start...
ENSEMBLE
Good morning, good morning
Waiting for my life to start
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
And i promise Baltimore
That some day when
I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me...
ENSEMBLE
Yes, More Or Less We All Agree
TRACY
Baltimore and me...
ENSEMBLE
Someday the world
Is gonna see
TRACY
Baltimore and me!
