Lyrics

[RUTHLESS RUTH] Since I was a lassy Just a sweet young thing All I truly longed to do was make up songs to sing Sure, my voice was rotten And had a pitchy twang But I had dreams and in my dreams, this is what I sang Listen up All you goons Listen up and hear my tunes Every line poisons minds So listen up [RAPUNZEL, spoken] Catchy! [RUTHLESS RUTH] How I yearned to sing it Still, I was afraid Guess I feared they'd call me weird and mock the songs I made So I shut my piehole And hid my work away [RAPUNZEL] But you had dreams [RUTHLESS RUTH] And in my dreams, this is what I'd play Listen up If you please Listen to my melodies [RAPUNZEL] Folks, she wrote every note [RUTHLESS RUTH & RAPUNZEL] So listen up [RUTHLESS RUTH] I kept my song a secret But carved it on this pub Waiting 'til the perfect moment came At last, I worked the nerve up And stood before the pub I let one note come through my throat And then I died of shame! [BIG NOSE, spoken] Died? [ATTILA, spoken] Died? [RUTHLESS RUTH, spoken] Dead! [RUTHLESS RUTH] And now I haunt this tavern Suffering for my art Years and years of doubts and fears [RAPUNZEL] It's time to heed your heart [RUTHLESS RUTH] I can end this curse now If I can end this song [VLADIMIR] Like in your dreams [RUTHLESS RUTH] But in my dreams, you all must sing along Listen up All you thugs Lift your voices And your mugs Don't be shy Let it fly [THUGS] Listen up [RUTHLESS RUTH, spoken] Haha, that's it! [BIG NOSE] Listen up [ATTILA] Listen here [HOOK FOOT] Raise the roof [SHORTY] And rock the house [RUTHLESS RUTH & THUGS] Make it loud Sing it proud Listen... [RUTHLESS RUTH, spoken] Wait! [RAPUNZEL, spoken] What's wrong? [RUTHLESS RUTH, spoken] Him [RAPUNZEL, spoken] Come on, everyone needs to sing! [CAPTAIN, spoken] I-I haven't sung in quite some time. What if I'm rusty? [SHORTY, spoken] Your name's not Rusty! It's Captain! And I'm Susan [RAPUNZEL, spoken] Captain, please! It's almost midnight, we have to free Ruth! [CAPTAIN] Listen up Listen close You're disgusting, old, and gross But your song is quite strong [EVERYONE] Listen up Listen up Listen up Everybody raise your cup Here's to Ruth That's the truth Listen up [RUTHLESS RUTH] Listen up [EVERYONE] Listen up [RUTHLESS RUTH] Listen up [EVERYONE] Listen up Yeah! [RAPUNZEL, spoken] Hahaha, that was great!
