J/7 - The Musical! - Lyrics Page Here are the lyrics for each of the songs in the musical :-) Something's Coming (written by: Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim) Could be! Who knows? There's something due any day; I will know right away, Soon as it shows. It may come cannonballing down through the sky, Gleam in its eye, Bright as a rose! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Under a tree. I got a feeling there's a miracle due, Gonna come true, Coming to me! Could it be? Yes, it could. Something's coming, something good, If I can wait! Something's coming, I don't know what it is, But it is Gonna be great! With a click, with a shock, Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, Open the latch! Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon; Catch the moon, One-handed catch! Around the corner, Or whistling down the river, Come on, deliver To me! Will it be? Yes, it will. Maybe just by holding still, It'll be there! Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy, Meet a guy, Pull up a chair! The air is humming, And something great is coming! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Maybe tonight . . . Red And Black (written by: Alain Boubill) Had you been there tonight You might know how it feels To be struck to the bone In a moment of breathless delight! Had you been there tonight You might also have known How the world may be changed In just one burst of light! And what was right seems wrong And what was wrong seems right Red I feel my soul on fire! Black My world if she’s not there Red The color of desire! Black The color of despair! I'd Be Suprisingly Good For You (written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) It seems crazy but you must believe There's nothing calculated, nothing planned Please forgive me if I seem naive I would never want to force your hand But please understand I'd be good for you I don't always rush in like this Twenty seconds after saying hello Telling strangers I'm too good to miss If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so But you really should know I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you I won't go on if I'm boring you But do you understand my point of view Do you like what you hear, what you see, and would you be Good for me too? I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you [J] Please go on you enthrall me I can understand you perfectly And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me I would be good for you too I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you. Something Good (written by: Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein) [J] Perhaps I had a wicked childhood Perhaps I had a miserable youth But somewhere in my wicked miserable past I must have had a moment of truth For here you are Standing there Loving me Whether or not you should So somewhere in my youth Or childhood I must have done something good Nothing comes from nothing Nothing ever could So somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good [7] Here you are standing here Loving me Whether or not you should [J] So somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good [Both] Nothing comes from nothing Nothing ever could [J] So some where in my youth or child [7] or childhood [J] I must have done something [Both] Something good Torn Apart (written by: Richard Cocciante and Will Jennings) Torn apart I am a man divided Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love I don't know how to cut my heart in two Torn apart I am a man in pieces Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love I'm just glad I have love enough for two One for the day The other for the night One just for now The other all my life One for always until of the end of time The other will soon find my love won't stay Torn apart I am a man divided Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love And they'll just have to love the man I am Torn apart I am a man in pieces Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love Is it my fault that I'm a normal man One's honey sweet The other has a bite One's heaven sent The other rules the night And to the one I swear my love is true And with the other one I break the rules Torn apart I am a man divided Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love I don't know how to cut my heart in two Torn apart I am a man in pieces Torn apart I want two women's love Two women want my love I'm just glad I have love enough for two Torn apart One Of Us (written by: Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus) They passed me by, all of those great romances You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances My picture clear, everything seemed so easy And so I dealt you the blow One of us had to go Now it's different, I want you to know One of us is crying One of us is lying In her lonely bed Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small Wishing she had never left at all I saw myself as a concealed attraction I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving That's how I started the show One of us had to go Now I've changed and I want you to know One of us is crying One of us is lying In her lonely bed Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small Wishing she had never left at all Never left at all Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sandra Dee (reprise) (written by: Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey) Look at me there has to be Something more than what they see Wholesome and pure Oh so scared and unsure A poor man's Sandra Dee Sandy, you must start anew Don't you know what you must do Hold your head high Take a deep breath and sigh Goodbye to Sandra Dee Goodnight and Thank You (written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) [Q] Goodnight and thank you Huevo She is in every magazine Been photographed, seen, she is known We don't like to rush, but your case has been packed If she's missed anything, you could give her a ring But she won't always answer the phone [Seven] Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies But we have pretended enough It's best that we both stop fooling ourselves [Q] Which means ... [Q and Seven] There is noone, noone at all Never has been, and never will be a lover, male or female Who hasn't an eye on, in fact they rely on Tricks they can try on their partner They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them Support them, promote them Don't blame them, you're the same [Q] Goodnight and thank you Emilio You've completed your task What more can we ask of you now?

Got a little motto Always sees me through When you're good to Mama Mama's good to you. There's a lot of favors I'm prepared to do You do one for Mama She'll do one for you. They say that life is tit for tat And that's the way I live So, I deserve a lot of tat For what I've got to give Don't you know that this hand Washes that one too When you're good to Mama Mama's good to you! If you want my gravy Pepper my ragout Spice it up for Mama She'll get hot for you When they pass that basket Folk contribut to You out in for Mama She'll put out for you The folks atop the ladder Are the ones the world adores So boost me up my ladder, Kid And I'll boost you up yours Let's all stroke together Like the Princeton crew When you're strokin' Mama Mama's strokin' you So what's the one conclusion I can bring this number to? When you're good to Mama Mama's good to you All I Ask Of You (written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart) [J] No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears I'm here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you.
