Jule Styne
Medley: Opening Act Two / Hook’s Tango
[Company]
Once you have found your way there
You can never, never grow old
[Wendy, spoken]
In Peter's absence, things were usually quiet on the island of Neverland
But feeling that Peter was on his way back, the island had again woken to life
The lost boys were out looking for Peter, the pirates were out looking for the lost boys, and the Indians were out looking for the pirates
[Instrumental]
[Pirates]
We're bloody buccaneers and each a murderous crook
We massacre Indians, kill little boys and cater to Captain--
[Lost Boys, spoken]
Pirates!
[Pirates]
Yo ho!
Ah!
Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!
Ah!
We're bloody buccaneers and each a murderous crook
We massacre Indians, kill little boys and cater to Captain Hook
Yo ho! Yo ho! The terrible Captain Hook
[Smee, spoken]
What tempo Captain?
[Captain Hook, spoken]
A tango
[Smee, spoken]
A tango!
[Captain Hook, spoken]
We'll cook a cake quite large
Fill each layer in between
With an icing mixed with poison
Till it turns a tempting green!
We'll place it near the house
Just wear the boys are sure to come
And being greedy, they won't care
To question such a plump
(sung) The boys who have no mother's suite
The one to show them their mistake
Won't know it's dangerous to eat
So temp and rich a cake
And so before the winking of an eye
Those boys will eat that poison cake
And one by one, they'll die
[Pirates]
They'll die
[Captain Hook, spoken]
Ole!
