[ZIDLER, SPOKEN]
Spectacular, Spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment
Returns are fixed at ten percent
You must agree, that's excellent

[ZIDLER]
And on top of your fee...

[Chorus]
You'll be involved artistically

[DUKE, SPOKEN]
What do you mean by that?

[Chorus]
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
[TOULOUSE]
Elephants!

[THE DOCTOR]
Arabians!

[ZIDLER]
India!

[SATINE]
And courtesans!

[SATIE]
Acrobats!

[NARCOLEPTIC ARGENTINIAN]
And juggling bears!

[TOULOUSE]
Exotic girls!

[Chorus]
Fire eaters!
Muscle and contortionists
Intrigue, danger, and romance
Electric lights, machinery
Oh the electricity!
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years!

Spectacular, Spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can't describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment

The hills are alive, with the sound of music

So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years

[CHRISTIAN]
The courtesan and sitarman
Are pulled apart by an evil plan
[SATINE]
But in the end she hears his song

[CHRISTIAN]
And their love is just too strong

[DUKE]
It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside

[Chorus]
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years

[CHRISTIAN]
The sitar plays secret song
Helps them flee the evil one
Though the tyrant rants and rails
It is all to no avail

[ZIDLER]
I am the evil maharaja
You will not bes-

[SATINE, SPOKEN]
Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could!

[ZIDLER, SPOKEN]
No one's going to

[Chorus]
So exciting
Will make them laugh, will make them cry
So delighting

[DUKE, SPOKEN]
And in the end should someone die?

[Chorus]
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years!

[DUKE, SPOKEN]
Generally I like it
