The Audition/To Play This Part

Lyrics

[MISS THORN, spoken] I'm delighted to announce that this year the Turner School will be presenting *Pippi in Tahiti: The Musical!* Let's begin the audition, shall we? Please welcome a multi-talented third grader, Miss Tina Denmark! [TINA, sung] To dance my dances To sing my song It's all I've wanted All i've dreamed my whole life long Though I'm only... eight years old Just a baby, so I'm told I can't help it I already know my heart And I'll do... anything to play this part If I sound desperate, then it's because All I want - no All I need is your applause So I pray to him on high The casting agent in the sky Cast me! And I'll stay true to my art And I'll do anything you please Pound erasers on my knees I'll do anything to play this part [MISS THORN, spoken] I wanna thank Lerman's Hardware for donating all the paint and the wood to make our sets. And now, the starring role of Pippi Longstocking will be played by... Louise Lerman [TINA, spoken] Are you fucking kidding me?!
