Original Broadway Cast of Beetlejuice
Say My Name (Demo)
[BETELGEUSE]
You could use a buddy
Don't you want a pal?
"Yes I do! Yes I do!"
Girl, the way I see it
Your daddy should be leavin'
And you should stick around
And kill him

[LYDIA, spoken]
What?

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Nothing
(sung)
Revenge is not as fun
(And believe me, it is fun)
If you're not there to claim the scalp
And I can be so-

[LYDIA, spoken]
Gross?

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Well-
[LYDIA, spoken]
Creepy?

[BETELGUSE, spoken]
What?

[LYDIA, spoken]
Ugly?

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Hey!

[LYDIA, spoken]
Disgusting?

[BETELGEUSE]
Well, sure, but more importantly
The point is I can help
I'm in your corner

[LYDIA]
I don't want you in my corner

[BETELGEUSE]
And I can be the worst
No, the best
No, the worst
We can be a team
Like the world has never seen
But you gotta free me first
So Lydia don't off yourself
Just stop yourself
I can help you stay in the game
Together we'll exterminate
Assassinate!

[LYDIA, spoken]
No!

[BETELGEUSE]
The finer points can wait
But first, you gotta say my name

[LYDIA, spoken]
But I don't know your name

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Well, I can't say it

[LYDIA, spoken]
How 'bout a game of charades?

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Ok, let's play it

[LYDIA, spoken]

[LYDIA, spoken]
Beetle?

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Yes!

[LYDIA, spoken]
Beetle-juice?

[BETELGEUSE]
Wow, I'm impressed
And all you gotta do is say my name three times
Three times in a row it must be spoken
Unbroken
Ready?

[LYDIA, spoken]
Yeah

[BETELGEUSE]
Okay, go

[LYDIA, spoken]
Beetlejuice...

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Yes

[LYDIA, spoken]
Beetlejuice...

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Yes

[LYDIA]
Bee-cause
You're so smart, a stand-up bro
I'll think about your offer, let you know
But I prefer my chances down below
Oh, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice
Being young and female doesn't mean that I'm an easy mark
I've been swimming with piranhas, I don't need a shark
Yes, life sucks, but not that much
Okay, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice
Be a doll and spare the lecture

[BETELGEUSE]
I'm offering you a full-time spectre

[LYDIA]
Are you any good?

[BETELGEUSE]
You betcha
Trust me, baby

[LYDIA]
I just met ya
Really it's a flattering offer

[BETELGEUSE]
Don't you wanna see Dad suffer?

[LYDIA]
I think I'd rather just jump off
I may be suicidal
But Beetlejuice, it's not as if I've lost my mind though

[BETELGEUSE]
I'm gonna make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
I'll make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
I'll make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
You can't run away
I'll make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
I'll make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
I'll make you say my name

[LYDIA]
I'll never say your name

[BETELGEUSE]
You can't run away
I'll make you say my name
