Lyrics

[STARKETTE 1, spoken] How's it going, Hyperion? We are the Starkettes [STARKETTE 2, spoken] And you are very lucky [STARKETTE 3, spoken] That's right, 'cause our story has superheroes [STARKETTE 1, spoken] Romance [STARKETTE 2, spoken] Time travel, oh, and [STARKETTES, spoken] Nick Fury (sung) Sings! [STARKETTE 2, spoken] Are you ready? [STARKETTE 1, spoken] Here [STARKETTE 2, spoken] We [STARKETTE 3, spoken] Go! [STARKETTES] Everybody's jumpin' for the red, white, and blue The bandstand's bumpin' 'cause of you know who The guys all try to steal a young girl's heart To keep their eyes on the prize while they're far apart The girls are dancin' to the crowds' applause Whilе the boys are askin' how to help thе cause So hear the trumpets wail! The band begins to shake 'Cause the world needs heroes if you've got what it takes Let's all cheer for the U.S. Opening Come on in, we'll start the show and sing Show them what this U.S.O. can bring Welcome to our U.S. Opening night We're here to tell the story about a kid named Steve Too small to the join the army but he's gotta believe You'll know him when you see him but we must confess We gotta tell his tale in 30 minutes or less His sight's around the corner as far as eyes can see He sorely wants to prove how useful he can be So just sit right back and let us be your guides It's time to meet our hero and he's right outside [NEWSIES] Extra, extra, read all about it The war has started, stand up and shout it Flags are flying, it's time to tout it And show 'em what we're made of Ain't nothin we're afraid of In the good old USA! [ENSEMBLE] Let's all cheer for the U.S. Opening Come on in, we'll start the show and sing Show them what this U.S.O. can bring Welcome to our U.S. Opening night [ROGERS enters] [MAN, spoken] Hey sweetheart, I want to dance [STARKETTES, spoken] Ew! [MAN, spoken] I said, I want to dance [ROGERS, spoken] Hey, show these ladies some respect! [MAN, spoken] Big words for a little guy [CARTER, spoken] Pick on someone your own size! [CARTER punches MAN] [STARKETTES] If you wanna help you got to come on down [MILITARY ENSEMBLE] We're lacing up our boots in every part of town [STARKETTES] The recruiters will include you if you pass the test [MILITARY ENSEMBLE] Then you can join the Army with the best of the best [STARKETTES] And even if you've never been the fighting kind There's another way to help to not get left behind Can sew a uniform, or you can clean a tank Every little thing is worthy of the nation's thanks [BARNES enters] [BARNES, spoken] Steve Rogers [ROGERS, spoken] Bucky [ROGERS, spoken] Looks like you've got your orders [BARNES, spoken] Sergeant James Barnes, one-oh-seventh division, shipping off for England first thing tomorrow [ROGERS, spoken] I should be going with you [BARNES, spoken] And I should be dancing with a beautiful dame [ROGERS, spoken] More important things than dancing, Bucky. Don't win the war until I get there! [STARKETTES] What you gonna do when the world needs a hero? How you gonna prove that you're not just a zero? If you can't hack it you'll just get in the way [MILITARY ENSEMBLE] Make room for the man with a stamp of 1-A And by tomorrow morning we'll be anchors away We gotta do this all day, all day, all day [ENSEMBLE] Let's all cheer for the U.S. Opening Come on in, we'll start the show and sing Show them what this U.S.O. can bring Welcome to our U.S. Opening night Come to our U.S. Opening— Come to our U.S. Opening— Come to our U.S. Opening— U.S. Opening Night!
