She’s Gonna Be Mine (Reprise)
[ANTINOUS, spoken]
Come, fellow suitors. We too have something to do
We have to celebrate!
(Laughter)
[SUITORS]
I'm gonna give this a go
If I only can string the bow
First I will wed her
Then I will bed her
Which suits this suitor fine
Oh, oh, oh, she's gonna be mine
[ANTINOUS]
She's gonna be mine, that's clear
'Cause I'm the strongest suitor here
The sundial's ticking
Soon I'll be kicking
The others out in the cold
It's time to be bold
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
Daphne, I need your help! I have to get stronger, perfect my swordplay, learn to shoot an arrow, and overcome my revulsion to the sight of blood, all in the next six days!
[DAPHNE, spoken]
Not a problem. Let me get my weapon
[TELEMACHUS]
Enough acting like a mouse
It's time to be the man of the house
If I get cracking
I'll send them packing
I'll show them who has a spine
And someday, that throne will be mine!
[DAPHNE, spoken]
All right, come at me with your sword. It's okay, I'm used to fighting with men
[TELEMACHUS]
For oh so long, I had my doubt
Could I toss these suitors out?
[DAPHNE]
But now with my aid, you won't be afraid
[TELEMACHUS AND DAPHNE]
I've become a big believer
Gonna be an overachiever
[TELEMACHUS]
When I draw my sword
[DAPHNE]
And I draw my meat cleaver
[TELEMACHUS AND DAPHNE]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[EURYCLEIA]
She's gonna depend on me
To see her plan goes flawlessly
A wedding dinner
To hail the winner
Takes a lot of planning and time
Oh, oh, oh, and plenty of wine!
[PENELOPE]
Another week is all I've got
I've got to give this careful thought
I'll have to wed him
But I won't bed him
Perhaps I'll poison his wine
Or, if not
Mine
[SUITORS]
For oh so long I've had to wait
Not my most attractive trait
But now all our eyes are fixed on the prize
[PENELOPE AND TELEMACHUS]
The next step will be fateful
[DAPHNE]
Will Telemachus be grateful?
[EURYCLEIA]
For the next week, this old nurse has her plate full
[ALL]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
It's gonna be settled soon
Then there'll be a honeymoon
[SUITORS]
I'm feelin' randy
[PENELOPE]
The hemlock's handy
[ALL}
We've reached the end of the line
Oh, oh, oh
[SUITORS]
She's gonna be
[ANTINOUS]
What fun will be
[PENELOPE]
No one will be
[DAPHNE]
He's gonna be
[TELEMACHUS]
It's up to me
[EURYCLEIA]
We'll have to see
[ALL]
Gonna be mine
She's gonna be mine
Gonna be mine
She's gonna be mine
Gonna be
Mine
Come, fellow suitors. We too have something to do
We have to celebrate!
