Festival!

Lyrics

[DOUG, spoken] Scene four The next morning Today is the day of the German celebration Known as "Festival" [BUD, spoken] Dawn is beginning to break over the town of Schlimmer Beef Fat Trimmer steps forward Through the stinky morning mist [DOUG [as Beef Fat Trimmer](BUD [as Daughter])] The sun, it rises in the East I smell bread rising with the yeast For today is no ordinary day It's the day... of Festival (Today I dance) This sun, it rises in the East (At Festival) (In knee-rosen pants) I smell bread rising with the yeast (Yeah, that's the festival) [BOTH (as Beef Fat Trimmer and Daughter)] For today is no ordinary day It's the day of Festival [BUD, spoken] We see Gutenberg pulling a wagon With the printing press inside It is covered with a sheet He is going to the town square He still does not know the printing press has been destroyed [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)] They'll go nuts And lift me in their arms When I show 'em my press I'm takin' to festival [BUD (as Helvetica)] Oh Gutenberg, I'm sorry [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)] I'm so psyched! [BUD (as Helvetica)] Forgive me! [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)] I'll be even more well liked! [BUD (as Helvetica)] And the town will have his head Once they see the printing press is dead! (as Daughter) Today I dance [DOUG [as Beef Fat Trimmer] (BUD [as Helvetica])] The sun, it rises in the east (Oh Gutenberg) [BUD (as Daughter)] At the Festival [DOUG [as Johan Gutenberg] (BUD [as Helvetica])] Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg (Will you ever for-) [BUD (as Daughter)] In knee-rosen pants [DOUG [as Beef Fat Trimmer] (BUD [as Helvetica])] The sun is rising (I smashed your press) [BUD (as Daughter)] That's the best [DOUG [as Johan Gutenberg] (BUD [as Helvetica])] Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg (Now I'm a mess) [BOTH (as All)] For today is no ordinary day It's the day... [BUD (as Daughter)] The blessed day [BOTH (as All)] ...of Festival [BOTH (as Drunk #1 and Drunk #2), spoken] It's the festival! [DOUG (as Drunk #1), spoken] I'm still drunk! [BUD (as Drunk #2), spoken] I'm always drunk! [BOTH (as Drunk #1 and Drunk #2)] Festival It's the best of all It's the crest of all our desires Festival Take the rest of all of the festivals To the fires [DOUG (as Drunk #1)] There is so much food and drink [BUD (as Drunk #2)] There's just enough to make you faint [DOUG (as Drunk #1)] I wish it'd all be tickled pink [BOTH (as Drunk #1 and Drunk #2)] I'm tellin' y'all, let's dance! [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg), spoken] It's Monk! [BUD (as Monk)] Don't forget, I met the devil In a haunted German wood I'm a terrible monk and I've got a plan And it's happenin' like it should! Now the girl's in trouble And his press is rubble And his Guten-bubble's gonna burst! Ha! I'll just wait and see Wine man Mr. G As they roast him like a bratwurst Ha! [DOUG (as Young Monk)] Why does he have to be so bad?! [BUD (as Flower Girl)] I've got daffodils And some roses too But you can't have one (spoken) BECAUSE YOU'RE A JEW!!! [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)] Oh flower girl! Why must you have this ridiculous hatred of the Jews? It's irrational and it's wrong It hurts me to see my fellow townspeople Acting this way Just think of where all this hatred could lead Before you know it We could be in the middle Of a Second World War And that's why I have something under this sheet That could unite us all [BUD, spoken] Everyone gasps [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg), spoken] Oh no! [BUD (as Monk), spoken] Well, well, well What have we here? [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg), spoken] It was a... printing press [BUD (as Monk), spoken)] A printing press?! What's that for? [DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg), spoken] It was going to... change the world [BUD (as Monk), spoken] Get him! [DOUG, spoken] The townspeople converge And attack Gutenberg They are filled with irrational mob mentality And soon collect wood Light a fire And burn Gutenberg alive Lights shift
