A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Free

[PSEUDOLUS]

Oh, what a word!

Oh, what a word!

Say it again.



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

I often thought,

I often dreamed how it would be--

And yet I never thought I'd be--

Once again.



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

But when you come to think of such things,

A man should have the rights that all others--

Can you imagine what it will be like when I am--

Can you see me?

Can you see me as a Roman with my head unbowed?

Sing it good and loud!



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Like a Roman having rights and like a Roman proud?

Can you see me?



[HERO]

I can see you.



[PSEUDOLUS]

Can you see me, a reformer fighting graft and vice?

Sing it soft and nice!



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Why, I'll be so consciencious that I may vote twice!

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

When I'm free to be whatever I want to be,

Think what wonders I'll accomplish then!

When the master that I serve is me and just me--

Can you see me being equal with my countrymen?

Can you see me being Pseudolus the citizen?

Can you see me being--give it to me once again--



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Yes!



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

That's it!



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Now, not so fast!

I didn't think--

The way I am,

I have a roof, three meals a day,

And I don't have to pay a thing.

I'm just a slave and everything's free.

If I were free, then nothing would be free!

And if I'm beaten now and then, what does it matter?



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Can you see me?

Can you see me as a poet writing poetry?

All my verse will be--



[HERO]

Free.



[PSEUDOLUS]

A museum will have me pickled for posterity.

Can you see me?



[HERO]

I can see you.



[PSEUDOLUS]

Can you see me as a lover, one of great renown?

Women falling down--



[HERO]

Free?



[PSEUDOLUS]

No.

But I'll buy the house of Lycus for my house in town.

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

Be you anything from king to baker of cakes,

You're a vegetable unless you're free.

Such a little word, but oh, the difference it makes!

It's the necessary essence of democracy,

It's the thing that every slave should have the right to be,

And I soon will have the right to buy a slave for me.

Can you see him?

Well, I'll free him!

When a Pseudolus can move, the universe shakes,

But I'll never move until I'm free.

Such a little word, but oh, the difference it makes!

I'll be Pseudolus, the founder of a family,

I'll be Pseudolus, the pillar of society,

I'll be Pseudolus the man, if I can only be--



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Sing it!



[HERO]

Free!



[PSEUDOLUS]

Spell it!



[HERO]

F-r- double--



[PSEUDOLUS]

No, the long way!



[HERO]

F-r-e-e!
