Original Broadway Cast of The Prom
It’s Time to Dance
[ALYSSA]
I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
[ALYSSA & EMMA]
Who cares what other people say
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes you and me
[EMMA]
And a song
[ALYSSA]
I just wanna dance with you
[EMMA]
Let the whole world melt away and
[ALYSSA]
I just wanna
[BOTH]
Dance with you
[BARRY, spoken]
Alright people, let's get down to business. We gotta make this place look fabulous!
[EMMA, spoken]
It's gotta be perfect. Kids from across the entire state are coming, so let's do this right.
(sung)
One thing you've taught me
Is how much people enjoy a show
And so you've got me
Debating how this whole night should go
Kids will be watching
To see who every guest is
And so my only request is
Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
[EMMA & ALYSSA]
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance
[DEE DEE]
I just want to dance with you
[BARRY]
I just want to dance with you
[TRENT]
Time to get dressed up
[BARRY]
I'll be a vision in aqua-blue
[EMMA]
It's time we fessed up
This year our prom queen will be you
[BARRY]
Maybe I'll wear a tiara
When it's go-time
[ALL]
Get ready folks
'Cause it's show time
Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance
[DEE DEE, spoken]
So is that what not failing feels like?
[BARRY, spoken]
I think so, yeah. Pretty good, huh?
[DEE DEE, spoken]
Yeah.
[BARRY, spoken]
I bought a corset. I'm gonna need help with the laces.
[DEE DEE, spoken]
I'll do you, you do me.
[Instrumental]
[EMMA & ALYSSA]
This is more than I dared wish for
It's epic and what's more
Tonight there's room for anyone
So everyone on the floor
Get on the floor!
[Instrumental]
[ALL]
It's time to
Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
And take to the floor
That's what the floor's for
So turn up the bass
Until the whole place
Gets into the beat
And has to repeat
It's time to dance
[EMMA & ALYSSA]
I just want to dance with you
[ALL]
It's time to dance
[EMMA & ALYSSA]
I just want to dance with you
[ALL]
It's time to dance
Dance!
Dance!
Dance!
(spoken)
It's time to dance!
