Marvin Hamlisch
The Music and the Mirror
[CASSIE, spoken]
Well. This audition is really interesting, isn't it?

[ZACH, spoken]
Yeah. What are you doing here?

[CASSIE, spoken]
What do you think? I need a job. 

[ZACH, spoken]
In the chorus. You're too good for the chorus, Cassie. 

[CASSIE, spoken]
I can't get a job, Zach. It would be nice to be a star, but I'm not. I'm a dancer. 

[CASSIE]
Give me somebody to dance for
Give me somebody to show
Let me wake up in the morning to find
I have somewhere exciting to go

To have something that I can believe in
To have someone to be
Use me
Choose me
God, I'm a dancer
A dancer dances!

Give me somebody to dance with
Give me a place to fit in
Help me return to the world of the living
By showing me how to begin

Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music and the mirror
And the chance to dance for you

Give me a job and you instantly get me involved
If you give me a job then the rest of the crap will get solved
Put me to work, you would think that by now I'm allowed
I'll do you proud

Throw me a rope to grab on to
Help come to prove that I'm strong
Give me a chance to look forward to saying
"Hey, listen, they're playing my song"

Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music and the mirror
And the chance to dance
Play me the music
Play me the music
Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music and the mirror
And the chance to dance
