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?
Please sign the book on the way out the door
And that will be all, if she needs you she'll call
But I don't think that's likely somehow

[Seven]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
But when we were hot, we were hot
I know you'll look back on the good times we've shared

[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 her, you're the same

[Seven]
There is no soap, no soap like Zaz
No detergent, lotion, or oil with such power in the shower
It's the mother and father of luxury lather
The talk of the bath, the great ointment
One little frolic with new Zaz carbolic
You're scented, you'll be sent

[Q]
Goodnight and thank you Senor Jabon
We are grateful you found her a spot on the sound radio
We'll think of you every time she's on the air
We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way
So do up your trousers and go

[Seven]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
The decline into silence and doubt
Our passion was just too intense to survive

[Q]
Which means ...



El Tango De Roxanne
(written by: Sting, Baz Luhrman, Craig Pearce and Marianito Mores)

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand

(Roxanne)
Why does my heart cry?
(Roxanne)
Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me
But just don't deceive me
And please believe me when I say I love you

Y yo que te quiero tanto que voy hacer
Me dejaste, me dejaste por un montn de monedas
El alma se me fue
se me fue el corazn
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir
porque no te puedo convencer
que no te vendas corazn

(Roxanne)
Why does my heart cry? (You don't have to put on that red light!)
Feelings I can't fight! (You don't have to wear that dress tonight)
Why does my heart cry? (You don't have to put on that red light!)
Feelings I can't fight! (You don't have to wear that dress tonight)
Roxanne

When You're Good To Mama
(written by: John Kander and Fred Ebb)

Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
I love 'em all and all of them love me
Because the system works
The system called reciprocity...

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.
Let me be your freedom
let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

[7]
Say you love me every waking moment
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you, now and always
promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you

[J]
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe: No-one will find you
your fears are far behind you

[7]
All I want is freedom
a world with no more night
and you always beside me
to hold me and to hide me

[J]
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you

[7]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you

[Both]
Share each day with me
each night, each morning

[7]
Say you love me

[J]
You know I do

[Both]
Love me - that's all I ask of you

Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you . .
