Original Off-Broadway Cast of Emojiland
Thank Me Now
[SKULL, spoken]
Nerd Face, I am speechless
And eternally grateful
Emojiland has suffered far too long, and your brilliant nerdiness has finally delivered its salvation
[NERD FACE, spoken]
I beg your pardon?
[SKULL, spoken]
That’s right, friend!
The time is now, the place is here
And soon, it all will disappear thanks to you, and thanks, to me
[sung]
Text is all we’ve ever been, and all we’ll ever be
Trapped inside a world of two-dimensionality
You think you’re part of some progression
But all you are’s a cheap expression!
What if life’s a glitch that no one bothered to debug?
Maybe it’s benevolent, to simply pull the plug
What curse is greater than the suffering?
Life must endure while death is buffering
So thank me now
While still, you can
For liberty is pending
Oh, thank me now
Become a fan
Captivity is ending now
[NERD FACE, spoken]
Skull, you're actually beginning to scare me now
You're monologuing like the mentally deranged antagonist of an illustrated periodical
Skull!
[SKULL]
Ha!
Who is it among us that has truly lost their noodle?
Isn’t it a fact my friend? You’re more or less a doodle
It’s thus my privilege to treat us
to a viral code that shall delete us
So thank me now
While still, you can
For liberty is pending
Oh, thank me now
Become a fan
Captivity is ending
It must be fading
[OTHER EMOJIS]
It's just so great to be alive
[SKULL]
Recalculating
[OTHER EMOJIS]
Peace! Thumbs Up! Pound! OK! High five!
[SKULL]
And in the end, it’s all just not
[NERD FACE]
What have I done?
[PRINCE]
Let's have some fun
[SMIZE]
We're done before we've even begun
[SUNNY]
Sunny can't help but
[PRINCESS]
Forever second to none
[SUNNY]
Can't help but stun
[ENSEMBLE]
Ah
[SKULL]
Just my volition
[CONSTRUCTION WORKER]
I never thought it'd come to this
[SKULL]
Like definition
[CONSTRUCTION WORKER]
Building walls, reason falls
[SKULL]
Must be for death, for I am Skull
[OTHER EMOJIS]
Ooohhh!
[PRINCESS, spoken]
Do it!
[SKULL (NERD FACE, spoken)]
So thank me now
While still, you can
For liberty is pending
Oh, thank me now
Become a fan
Captivity is ending now! (No!)
