Spectacular, spectacular

No words in the vernacular

Can describe this great event

You'll be dumb with wonderment

Returns are fixed at ten percent

You must agree that's excellent

And on top of your fee

You'll be involved artistically



Chorus:



So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years



Elephants, Bohemians

Indians and courtesans

Acrobats and juggling bears

Exotic girls, fire-eaters

Musclemen, contortionists

Intrigue, danger and romance

Electric lights, machinery

All run with electricity



So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years





Spectacular, spectacular!

No words in the vernacular

Can describe this great event

You'll be dumb with wonderment



[The hills are alive with the sound of music...]



So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years



[Duke: Yes, but what happens in the end?]



Christian



The courtesan and sitar man

Are pulled apart by an evil plan



Satine

But in the end she hears his song



Christian

And their love is just too strong



[Duke: It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside...hmmm]



So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years





Christian

The sitar player's secret song

Helps them flee the evil one

Though the tyrant rants and rails

It is all to no avail



[Zidler: I am the evil maharajah - you will not escape!

Satine: Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could.

Zidler: No one's going to.]



So exciting, it will make you laugh and make you cry

So delighting...

[Duke: And in the end should someone die?]



- Pause -



So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer

So delighting, it will run for fifty years



Duke



Generally, I like it.



Cheers!
