[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, ooh
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The greatest stories ever told (Ooh...)
Have a hero who must be bold (Ooh...)
They learn a sense of right and wrong (Ooh...)
And better learn the sense through song (Ooh...)
[CHARLOTTE & ENSEMBLE]
Musicals tell the impossible (impossible)
They evoke the philosophical, yeah!
[TED]
So tonight we’re gonna chronicle
A story so astronomical
[ALL]
The last remaining story to tell
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
I mean, what the fuck! (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
He's the guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
Yeah, what the fuck? (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
[BILL]
In the tiny town of Hatchetfield
Lived an awful grinch named Paul
[MELISSA]
Spends his day surfing the web
And not singing and dancing with us all
[ALL]
Should we kill him?
Should we kill him?
[EMMA]
Oh, he pines after a cute lil' barista
Isn’t that worth a show-stopping fiesta, yeah?
[PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
But for some damn reason
He won’t join our singing season
[MR. DAVIDSON, BILL & MELISSA]
What an ass!
[MR. DAVIDSON, BILL, MELISSA, CHARLOTTE & EMMA]
What a bitch!
[ALL]
What a cuck!
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
I mean, what the fuck! (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
He's the guy who didn’t like musicals, na-na-na-na-na-na-na (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em
It’s the end of the world, Paul (end of the world)
If you don’t sing (if you don't sing)
[MELISSA & ENSEMBLE]
This is the bridge, Paul (this is the bridge)
Where we globalize everything
[PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
And the words will come to you
We swear we will teach you
[ALL]
What it means to love
What it means to obey, Paul!
[MR. DAVIDSON, spoken]
The apotheosis is upon us
[ALL, spoken]
Yay!
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
Did you hear the word?
What's the word?
[MR. DAVIDSON & CHARLOTTE]
He’s a-comin'
[ENSEMBLE]
Who’s a-comin'?
[MR. DAVIDSON & CHARLOTTE]
Paul’s a-comin'
[ENSEMBLE]
Paul’s a-comin'?
[ALL]
The star of the show
[TED]
Now for his headlining entrance
[EMMA & CHARLOTTE]
Time to swoon at his leading man essence
[BILL & PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
His name is in the title
[MR. DAVIDSON & MELISSA]
He’s destined to go viral
Here he is, his name is Paul
[ALL]
Enter now!
[MR. DAVIDSON, spoken]
Where the fuck is he?
[BILL, spoken]
I have no fucking clue
[MR. DAVIDSON, WOMEN, PROFESSOR HIDGENS & MEN]
