Shade: The Rusical

Lyrics

[BenDeLaCreme] In the city of drag queens, there's a fine line between being shady and being a lady. This is Penny, which will she choose? [Courtney Act] I just got off the bus I don't drink or eat or cuss [Bianca Del Rio + Trinity K. Bonet] You're new in town it's time to knuckle down Start swimming to the top before you drown [Courtney] Who are you? [Bianca + Trinity (Courtney)] We are the pageant queens (oh, fancy) We're elegant machines In gowns we strut We don't need corny smut [Darienne Lake + Gia Gunn] What? [Bianca + Trinity] Let's hold back and see which way she leans [Courtney] Who are you? [Darienne + Gia (Courtney)] We are the comedy queens (oh, cute) Humor always justifies the means Gia (Darienne) (GiaCourtneyWhile she's there telling a joke (look!) I'm right behind you, poke (oh!) [D Arianne +eGia (Gia)] So don't listen to them 'cause they're just full of beans (literally!) [Courtney] Who's that? [Bianca] Wait! She's the shady queen, horrid queen No one wants to see her [Trinity] On her own, all alone No one wants to be her [Gia] Listen up pretty pup! [Darienne (Gia + Darienne)] She's on her way to six feet (underground) [Bianca] Yes, and nothing nice Nothing good ever goes her way, so - [Trinity] Miss "Off the Bus" Stick with us Even Ru would say so! [Courtney] Who? [Trinity, Bianca, Darienne, Gia] (Gasp) Rupaul! [Courtney] Oh! [Trinity, Bianca, Darianne, Gia] Turn around! We are the better queens The safer queens, the lighter queens The brighter queens, the wiser queens Advisor queens, the ones who you should stick with [BenDeLaCreme] Penny, you really wanna be a star? [Courtney] Yeah I do! [Bianca + Trinity + Gia] No! Don't do it! [Trinity] She's got testicles! I've seen them! [Bianca] She's a man with one eye! [BenDeLaCreme] There's a hole in your heart There'a place in your soul A passion so strong It makes your blood boil All your dreams come alive All your wishes will grow If you take a swig of this fish oil Drink for me! [Courtney] Oh, I'd really like to but I shouldn't I- [BenDeLaCreme] Drink for me! [Courtney] But I do want to be a big, big star! [BenDeLaCreme] Drink for me! [Other Queens] Don't do it! Don't do it! [BenDeLaCreme] Drink for me! [Other Queens] You'll lose it! You'll lose it! [Courtney] Well I'm gonna be the greatest star And nothing and no one's gonna keep me down And you, and you, and all of you I'll make you love me! [Other Queens] Don't do it! Don't do it! [Courtney] Oh I can't get it open - [BenDeLaCreme] Here! [Other Queens] Don't do it! Don't do it! [Courtney] Watch me be your star! [Other Queens] All tea all shade!

Just a miracle in front of you Oh, and if you don't believe I will show you, I'll teach you, I'll school you, I'll beat you And punch you, and crunch you I'll take you and make you thank me When you love me! That's how you do it, [back rolls! [April Carrion] Did you see what she said to me! [Laganja Estranja, Joslyn Fox] Back rolls! heard it! [April] Can you believe, can you believe she even said that! [Laganja, Joslyes n] Yshe really did! Oh yes she really, really went there! [April] Well I'm not gonna stick around and be a part of her show [Laganja, Joslyn] But you have to! Girl, the paycheck!

(mumb Ed fighting) [Milk] Oh the shade! the shade of it all! Look at yourself, shady ladies You should be ashamed of what you've become Oh, I never thought that you would do this So let me remind you of just one thing Take each other's hands and come together cause We are each other's family All 2,603,040 sisters! This is our land and we are the queens [Everyone (Courtney)] Time to take a stand and come together (we come together) Cause, we are each other's family (we're all family) All 2,603,040 sisters (many queens) This is our land, and we are the queens! [Bianca + Trinity] So even if you're a pageant queen! [Darienne + Gia] Or a comedy queen! [Courtney + Adore] Or a fishy queen! [BenDeLaCreme] A shady queen! [April + Laganja + Joslyn] Or just a big damn girl! [Milk] We are a family! [Everyone] Back rolls!
