I Speak Six Languages
[RONA, spoken]
Miss Park speaks five languages.
[MARCY, spoken]
No I don’t.
[RONA, spoken]
Don’t you?
[MARCY, spoken]
No.
[MARCY]
I speak six languages
[RONA, spoken]
Ah, six.
[MARCY]
Every language easy
Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O
I speak six languages
And I can say hello
In at least seven more
[RONA, spoken]
She’s also a champion rugby player.
[MARCY]
To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament
Apparently I have the temperament
Yes I score some goals
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls
Unamazed am I
I don’t like to brag
And I won’t ‘cause I don’t have to but
I speak six languages
All-American in hockey
And anything I do I do without getting sore
I speak six languages
And I like the theme from "Rocky"
Though I play Mozart more
[MARCY]
I achieve my goals
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls
Unamazed am I
Winning is a job
And I get no real
enjoyment but
Je peux parler six langues
Cada idioma es simple
Jerr-O oh yo no reshipi no yesashesades
Ya gavaru shetz yatzukim
V'ani yodat shalom[GIRLS]
Oooooohh
Aaaahhhh
Aaaahhhh
Winning is a job
And she gets no real
enjoyment but
Ooh
Aaahh
Sa sha des
Ya zi ki
Yor dat shalom
Im noch mindestens sieben mehr[MARCY]
I speak six languages
I am sick and tired
Of always being the best
And the brightest at every mass
Six lousy languages
And for my height I’m the lightest
Of the girls in my class
[MARCY, spoken]
That's one
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six![GIRLS]
She knows six languages
She knows
She knows
She knows
She knows
She knows
Six!
