Hedwig And The Angry Inch - Original Broadway Cast
Angry Inch
[HEDWIG]
My sex-change operation got botched
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I got is a Barbie Doll-crotch
I got an angry inch
[HEDWIG with ENSEMBLE]
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
[HEDWIG]
I'm from the land where you still hear the cries
I had to get out, had to sever all ties
I changed my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch
[HEDWIG with ENSEMBLE]
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry Inch, angry Inch
[HEDWIG]
My mother made my tits out of clay
My boyfriend told me that he'd take me away
They dragged me to the doctor one day, oh
[ENSEMBLE]
I've got an angry inch
[HEDWIG with ENSEMBLE]
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
[ENSEMBLE]
Long story short
[HEDWIG, spoken]
Yeah, long story short
When I woke up from the operation
I was bleeding down there
I was bleeding from the gash between my legs
My first day as a woman
And already it's that time of the month
Two days later, the hole closed up, the wound healed
And I was left with a one inch mound of flesh
Where my penis used to be, where my vagina never was
It was a one inch mound of flesh
With a scar running down it like a sideways grimace
On an eyeless face
It was just a little bulge
It was an angry inch
[HEDWIG with ENSEMBLE]
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a—
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry Inch, angry Inch
[HEDWIG]
Angry, angry
[HEDWIG with ENSEMBLE]
Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay under cover till the night turns to black
I got my inch and I'm set to attack
I got an angry Inch, angry Inch
