Part Twelve - Floor Show
Some places count this as one song, others as three. I decided to combine it into one part but could only find a video clip with the first and third and then one with the second. The third clip is audio only of the entire floor show
youtu.be/9yZlRqk5_6Uyoutu.be/uPtydxVjHosyoutu.be/5b5iBevnvpA(Cut to a stage. TRIP, COMET, TELERAM, and BANDIT are frozen in place, posed on the stage. ZORTEGUS, in behind the curtain, begins to unfreeze his guests, starting with TRIP.)
TRIP:
When I first arrived things were great
I was so happy that it felt like fate
But then he started working on a mate
And then suddenly I didn't rate
Now Comet's here and I'm third wheel
But I push down all the hurt I feel
Oh six six seven
Shelter me from my trouble and pain
(COMET is unfrozen.)
COMET:
I've only been alive one night
But believe me, I've seen sights
Enough literature to set me right
And I've seen a lot of people fight
And yet I feel like I'm just some toy
The plaything of a little boy
Oh six six seven
Shelter me from my trouble and pain
(TELERAM is unfrozen.)
TELERAM:
This is all wrong
What is this song?
I must play along
I can't stop myself
I start to sway
Whoo! What a day
Push my concerns away
I'll leave them on the shelf
(BANDIT is unfrozen.)
BANDIT:
What was that fuss?
Tonight's been a plus
Zortegus is good to us
Don't believe me? Ask Liz
I can't wait for more
Let's see what he has in store
Watch him walking through the door
Oh look! There he is...
(ZORTEGUS walks slowly on stage.)
ZORTEGUS:
I've always wanted to rule things
To suck up power like a leech
And I've realized now, exactly how
This may well be within my reach..
Relax and let yourself fall under my spell
Leave your cares behind, and all will be well
Ignore everything else, you're light as a bell
Focus on my voice and feel your heart swell
Can't you just feel it? Oh oh oh!
(ZORTEGUS jumps into a swimming pool that is randomly there? Really I'm not sure this works logistics-wise, but it looks pretty cool.)
ZORTEGUS:
You feel it - give in
You feel it - give in
(TRIP, COMET, TELERAM, and BANDIT also jump into the pool and join in the singing.)
ZORTEGUS ETC.:
You feel it - give in
You feel it - give in
You feel it - give in
You feel it - give in
(While the rest continues to sing in the background, HERMES rouses himself with a start and begins talking to himself backstage.)
HERMES:
Ah! I've got to be the adult here
And get us all out of this mess
Though I feel so relaxed, almost hypnotized
I can't keep fighting this, I fear
And I don't want to, I confess...
(HERMES begins to sing along with the others.)
TELERAM:
This is all wrong, what is this song?
BANDIT:
This sure feels like bliss...
(ZORTEGUS jumps out of the pool and gets back up on stage.)
ZORTEGUS:
My my my
My my my my my
My my my my
My my
I don't take no orders from you
No one tells me what I cannot do
You can talk until your face turns blue
But just watch I'm gonna come unglued
You might say I've gone out of control
But I say I'm just on a roll
Oh six six seven
Shelter me from my trouble and pain
(By this time TRIP, COMET, TELERAM, BANDIT, and HERMES have joined ZORTEGUS back on the stage and join in singing and dancing on the next verse.)
ZORTEGUS ETC.:
We don't take no orders from you
No one tells us what we cannot do
You can talk until your face turns blue
But just watch we're gonna come unglued
You might say we've gone out of control
But we say we're just on a roll
Oh six six seven
Shelter me from my trouble and pain
We don't take no orders from you
No one tells us what we cannot do
You can talk until your face turns blue
But just watch we're gonna come unglued
You might say we've gone out of control
But I say we're just on a roll, roll, roll
Oh six six seven
Shelter me from my trouble and pain
(TERRY and SOPHIE burst in, holding scary-looking laser guns)
TERRY:
Lord Zortegus
This is a bust
You have lost all our trust
Surely you know why
This will be our last row
You have broken your vow
We'll be taking charge now
It's time to say goodbye
ZORTEGUS:
Wait, I can explain!
