The Legend

Lyrics

[MS. WALKER] The legend begins at this very school Four score minus seven years ago Legend has it that there once was a boy Who found a script in the basement below The play was called "The Phantom". It was the scariest of shows Is that how it started? No one knows But that's how the legend goes [TINA] Legend has it the boy showed his teacher And the story captured her soul She vowed the school would perform it With thе boy in the title role But bеfore the play could open A disaster forced it to close Is that the truth? Well, there are those Who say that's how the legend goes [MS. WALKER] It's a story, nothing more Just the stuff of legend and lore The kind that always follows scary shows Some swear it with conviction Others say it's only fiction Just a rumor, but a rumor always grows And that's how the legend goes [MS. WALKER] Legend has it that when Abigail applied for funds The principal refused to grant 'em But grandmother bravely held her ground Resolved to produce "The Phantom" But on the night the play was to open Well, the curtain never rose What happened next, I can't disclose But that's how the legend goes [BROOKE] You can't end the story there! [ZEKE] Yeah! Tell us! What happened next? [MS. WALKER] I'm not sure I should [TINA] Well if you won't tell them, I will The boy playing "Phantom" had vanished! They searched, but he couldn't be found And when Ms. Walker tried to make an announcement She was stopped by a frightening sound: The most terrible scream rang out! Every face in the audience froze Was it him? Well, no one really knows... But that's how the legend goes [MS. WALKER] The principal closed the production And demanded the script's destruction But one survived, right underneath his nose And though it was forbidden Ms. Walker kept it hidden And when she died, it was found beside a mask and rose… Or so the legend goes [TINA] Ms. Walker, tell them the reeeeally scary part! About the boy! [MS. WALKER] Oh, I don't know… Just remember It's a story, nothing more Just the stuff of legend and lore But some say his soul remains here in repose [TINA] Now he haunts the school where he vanished To make sure the play stays banished [MS. WALKER] That's why some say it's cursed, this play I chose [ZEKE] Is it true?? [MS. WALKER] Well, I suppose That no one knows Not even those Who swear that That's how the legend [MS. WALKER/TINA] That's how the legend That's how the legend goes!
