Dancin On The Sidewalk Everyday I'll wake up in the morning Splash my face to keep myself from yawning Get dressed and get my bones together Open the window to check out the weather Then like I've seen a ghost, man I'll be moving my feet Just like the postman In the cold or the heat No time to talk, no And I go dancing on the sidewalk Dancing on the sidewalk Dancing on the sidewalk Dancing on the sidewalk Oh Lunchtime is music to my ears I'm down on Wall Street with all them financiers South Street Seaport I am the action The number one tourist attraction Hip-hop to the West Side Where i do myself proud The West Side is the best side For drawing a crowd The cabbies squalk, yeah When I am dancing on the sidewalk Dancing on the sidewalk x6

Lets Play A Love Scene We always seem to be, sister and brotherly, it’s such a lovely way to be And i want to say what it means to me, how i could never be the same...without you And something more than i know tho i never could show How it kept on growing The way I know I really feel about you The way I know I’ll always feel about you Why can’t we, why can’t we, why can’t we try…. To play a love scene We don’t need the violins to play a love scene Where we see how love begins Find a way to start And learn to play the part Of a perfect scene from a play unknown lets play a love scene Love scene Of our own….. Instrumental And i want to say what it means to me How i could never be the same, without you And something more than i know tho i never could show How it kept on growing

I Want To Make Magic Lyrics I want to make magic I want to be bigger than I am I want to make people really care Really give a damn I want to make magic I want to breathe fire on the stage I want to make every single line Jump right off the page I want to do it all from A to Z I want to do 'The Lion in Winter' Brecht and Harold Pinter Sophocles, Eugene O'Neill I want to really see what I can be Another Jason Robards or DeNiro Play a tragic hero Go for it all and really show the way I feel I want to make magic I want to electrify the place I want to be more than just a fool With make-up on his face

Bring On Tomorrow (Reprise) Lyrics We Have Arrived, At A Moment In Our Lives When The Future Passes Into Our Hands We Can Find Out Are We Really Strong Enough To Fulfill What The Future Demands We Can Stand On The Edge And Look Out Into Space And Be Awed By The Wonders We See We Can All Make A Pledge That The Whole Human Race Will Become What We Want It To Be Bring On Tomorrow, Let It Shine Like The Sun Coming Up On A Beautiful Day It's Yours And Mine, We Can Make A Difference It's Not Too Late Bring On Tomorrow, We Can't Wait Long Long Ago, In A World We Never Made We Were Children Who Were Making Believe Closing Our Eyes, We Were Travelers In Air To A Land We Would Not Want To Leave But This Fairy Tale Land Fades Away As We Grow And We All Have To Say Our Goodbyes

Mabels Prayer Lyrics I wanna die, Lord i wanna die, Take me now Jesus and get it over with Maybe there'll be some vanilla pudding waiting up in heaven for me. Oh Lord, give me a sign Give me a call on your heavenly line Tell me oh Lord what it is that you want of me Keep me from eating Whatever's in front of me Oh Lord, give her a sign (oh give me a sign) Give her a call on your heavenly line (call me on,call me on,on your heavenly line) Tell her oh Lord what it is that want of her (Tell me,) Keep her from eating (Save me, save me) Whatever's in front of her (from eating what's in front of me) Oh lord give me the answer Save me from being... The worlds... Fattest dancer

Teachers’ Argument (Miss Bell) Artists are special celestial fools bless with the talent for breaking the rules unfit for confinement in cubicle schools artists are special (Miss Sherman) Artists are people not primitive fools they learn what to do before breaking the rules they know that the brain is the finest of tools artists are people (Both) Whether in theatre or music or dance they have to be given the chance (Miss Bell) to fly by the seat of their pants (Miss Sherman) to develop their minds and be nurtured (Both) like plants (Miss Sherman) Artists are part of the same human race as everyone else in the same bloody place you learn to survive or you fall on your face artist or not artist or not (spoken)

Greta, you know that 90% of these kids will never make a living in the arts we have to prepare them for life or what's Tyrone gonna do if he can't make it as a dancer mop floors? (Miss Bell) Tyrone will make it (sung) I've seen them come and go for all these years kids with no talent for anything more than carrying spears another year another shipment lacking the drive or the style or the basic eqipment this one is different. And i can see me there unremarkable me the kid in the ballet class the princess i wanted to be tutu and point shoes hair in a bun completely unnoticed as if i were no-one this one is different i tell you this one can dance this one is virtual i tell you give him a chance (spoken) Tyrone will make it, he will (Miss Sherman) Fine, and i wish him luck but this is an academic institution with academic standards Oh i know,
