__Colours of the Wind__

You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can clai-m But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name.

You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things, you never knew, you never knew.

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

How high will the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll ne-ver know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until //(hold)// //(pause, then slower tempo)// You can paint with all the colors of the wind

If I were a rich man, Bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah All day long I'd diddy diddy dum. If I were a wealthy man. I wouldn't have to work hard. Bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah If I were a biddy biddy rich, Very very wealthy man I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen, Right in the middle of the town. A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below. There would be one long staircase just going up, And one even longer coming down, And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and tur-keys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear. (Insert)Squawking just as noisily as they can. (End Insert) With each loud "cheep" "swaqwk" "honk" and "quack" Would land like a trumpet on the ear, As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."

If I were a rich man, Bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah All day long I'd diddy diddy dum. If I were a wealthy man. I wouldn't have to work hard. Bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah If I were a biddy biddy rich, Very very wealthy man

__So Long, Farewell__

[Children:] There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall And the bells in the steeple too And up in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say "cuckoo" [Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:] Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: ] Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo To say goodbye. . . [Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:] Cuckoo! [Children:] . . . to you

[Children:] So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night [Marta:] I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Children:] So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu [Friedrich:] Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

[Children:] So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen [Liesl:] I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

[Children:] So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye [Kurt:] I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye! [Brigitta:] I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie [Louisa:] I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly [Gretl:] The sun has gone to bed and so must I

[Children:] So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Guests:] Goodbye!

__You can't stop the beat__

You cant stop an avalanche As it races down the hill You can try to stop the seasons, girl But ya know you never will And you can try to stop my dancin' feet

But i just cannot stand still Cause the world keeps spinnin' Round and round And my heart's keeping time To the speed of sound I was lost til i heard the drums Then i found my way

Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since this old world began A woman found out if she shook it She could shake up a man And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it The best that i can today

'Cause you cant stop The motion of the ocean Or the sun in the sky You can wonder if you wanna But i never ask why

And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it The best that i can today That you cant stop the beat!

PENNY You can't stop a river As it rushes to the sea

SEAWEED You can try and stop the hands of time But ya know it just can't be

PENNY And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I'll call the N Double A C P Cause the world keeps spinning Round and 'round And my heart's keeping time To the speed of sound I was lost til i heard the drums Then i found my way

PENNY & SEAWEED Cause you can't stop the beat

PENNY & SEAWEED Ever since we first saw the light A man and woman liked to shake it On a saturday night And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it With all my might today

'Cause you cant stop The motion of the ocean Or the rain from above You can try to stop the paradise We're dreamin' of But you cannot stop the rhythm Of two hearts in love to stay Cause you cant stop the beat!

EDNA You cant stop my happiness Cause i like the way i am And you just can't stop my knife and fork When i see a christmas ham so if you don't like the way i look Well, i |ust don't really care

EDNA & ENSEMBLE Cause the world keeps spinning Round and 'round And my heart's keeping time To the speed of sound I was lost til i heard the drums Then i found my way

EDNA & COMPANY 'Cause you cant stop the beat

Ever since this old world began A woman found out if she shook it She could shake up a man And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it The best that i can today

You can't stop the beat
