Lovely (Reprise)
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Come out here! Come on out!
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
You didn't tell me I'd have to be a girl
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Please, Hysterium, we must convince the captain
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
He'll never believe I'm a girl. Look at me. Just look at me
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
I can't take my eyes off you
(sung)
You're lovely
Absolutely lovely
Who'd believe the loveliness of you?
Perfect
Sweet and warm and winsome
Radiant as in some dream come true
Now, Venus will seem tame
Helen and her thousand ships
Will have to die of shame!
You're so lovely
Frighteningly lovely
That the world will never seem the same!
(spoken)
Now you just stand there quietly and think maidenly thoughts
[HYSTERIUM]
I'm lovely
Absolutely lovely
Who'd believe the loveliness of me?
Perfect
Sweet and warm and winsome
Radiant as in some dream come true
Now. .
Shouldn't I have some jewelry?
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Jewelry?
Here
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
Flowers!
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
What?
[HYSTERIUM, spoken]
I should have flowers!
[PSEUDOLUS, spoken]
Flowers!
[HYSTERIUM]
I'm so lovely
[PSEUDOLUS]
Literally lovely
[BOTH]
That the world will never seem the same
[PSEUDOLUS]
You are lovely
[BOTH]
That the world will never seem the same
