[Verse 1]
[LORELEI]
Let’s say you’re writing a song
And your brain suddenly stops
That happens to the best of us
We call that writer’s block
(spoken) Well you should know that

But, say you’re doing homework
Dreadful I know, but your essay’s due
What can you do but go get something to inspire you
[ANNELIE (spoken)]
Like what

[LORELEI (sung)]
Like mangoes, you need mangoes
There’s nothing that tingles your brain like mangoes
They’re sweet and tasty
It’s so exciting, so girl don’t abstain
When you see mangoes
Just trust me mangoes give you the best ideas. You’ll see
Mangoes, just eat mangoes. ‘cause mangoes are all you need

[LORELEI (spoken)]
Let me give you a demonstration
You’ll have an inside look to Lorelei’s brainstorming
[LORELEI (sung)]
(mumbled) we could write a fugue or waltz
Or maybe some jazz or pop
Wait that’s unwise let’s find a style
Where we can compromise
[ANNELIE]
Let’s compromise
[LORELEI]
How about a musical?
[BOTH]
Oh, let’s write a musical!
[LORELEI]
It’s pop
[ANNELIE]
And half classical
[LORELEI]
It’s jazz
[ANNELIE]
But it’s audible
[LORELEI (ANNELIE]
After all, a musical’s just a fun opera (hey)
So Annelie, tell me what you’ll do
Will you help me ‘cause I need you?
It’s a daunting task I know
So, we’ll go to the city and put on a show, so…

I’ll write the lyrics and words
[ANNELIE]
I’ll write the notes and scores
[BOTH]
Together we’ll do everything
We can do anything
[ANNELIE]
So long as I’m with you

[ENSEMBLE (ANNELIE)]
And so long as we have mangoes (this is the most fun I’ve had)
You need mangoes
There’s nothing that tingles your brain (is this what it feels to have)
Like-

Mangoes, They’re sweet and tasty. (A friend who just values me)
It’s so exiting, so girl, don’t abstain (It’s so exciting so I won’t abstain)
When you see mangoes
Just trust me, mangoes give you the best ideas
[LORELEI]
I mean, need I say more?
[ENSEMBLE]
Mangoes, just eat mangoes
‘Cause mangoes are all you need
[LORELEI (spoken)]
So, what do you say Annelie
[ANNELIE (spoken)]
Let’s do this!
[ENSEMBLE]
Mangoes
