"Finale" lyrics

'Something Rotten' Company Lyrics

"Finale"
(from "Something Rotten! (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Shylock:]
Ladies and Gentlemen, Shylock Productions in association with Pilgrim Enterprises presents the Bottom Brothers - in their touching life story

[Troupe:]
Who's that coming out of Cornwall
With his brother
It's Nick (And Nigel Bottom)

Who's that starting out with nothing
But each other
It's Nick (And Nigel Bottom)

[Nick & Nigel:]
Yes we are the Bottom Brothers
Writing plays just like our mother said we oughta do
We've learned a thing or two

[Bea:]
He almost got us all beheaded

[Nick:]
Sorry!

[Portia:]
Instead we just got banished-ed

[All:]
Yay!

[Nick & Nigel:]
We came from London on a boat
We landed here and went and wrote

[Nick, Nigel, Bea & Portia:]
A play with songs
And dancers galore

[Bea & Portia:]
It's something no one else has ever seen before

[All:]
So here we go, putting on a show

[Nick & Nigel:]
And not just any old ordinary show

[Nick, Nigel, Bea & Portia:]
A big and bold extraordinary show

[All:]
A must see magical new original musical!
A musical!
There's nothing as amazing as a musical
With song and dance and sweet romance
And happy ending happening by happenstance
And you'll see, it will be only the beginning
This glorious creation called a musical

[Shylock:]
Have you heard the news? Shakespeare's new play opened. They say it's his masterpiece

[Nick:]
What's it called?

[Nigel:]
Hamlet

[Nostradamus:]
Hamlet - I was this close

[All:]
Welcome to America
Where nothing rhymes with America
But who's complaining
We're living in the new world
And living the dream
It's our debut
Welcome to America
Where everything is new!

Welcome to America
Everything is new
Welcome to America

[Nick:]
Land of opportunity!
