Charles Strouse - But Alive lyrics

[MARGO] I feel groggy and weary and tragic Punchy and bleary and fresh out of magic But alive, but alive, but alive! I feel twitchy and b**hy and manic Calm and collected and choking with panic But alive, but alive, but alive! I'm a thousand different people Every single one is real I've a million different feelings OK, but at least I feel! And I feel rotten, yet covered with roses Younger than springtime and older than Moses Frisky as a lamb... [DUANE] Ah la la [MARGO] Lazy as a clam... [DUANE] Ah la la [MARGO] Crazy, but I am Alive [FEMALE ENSEMBLE] She's here! Oh god, ah la la la la She's here! Ah la la la la la Ow! Ow! La la la la la Eek eek eek ow! Ow! Ow! [MARGO] And I feel wicked and wacky and mellow Firm as Gibraltar and shaky as Jello But alive, but alive, but alive! I feel half Tijuana, half Boston Partly Jane Fonda and partly Jane Austen But alive, that's the thing! But alive! This kaleidoscope of feelings Whirls around inside my brain I admit I'm slightly cuckoo But it's dull to be too sane! And I feel brilliant and brash and bombastic Limp as a puppet and simply fantastic But alive, but alive, but alive! [MALE ENSEMBLE] She's here! My dear, can you believe it? She's here! Oh god, I can't believe it! She's here And just to prove we do believe Woo! [Dance Break] [MALE ENSEMBLE] Ah la la la la la la la la Ah la la la la la la la la Ah la la la la la la la This kaleidoscope of feelings Whirls around inside my brain I admit I'm slightly cuckoo But it's dull to be too sane! [MARGO] And I feel brilliant! Bombastic! Super! Fantastic! Alive! [MALE ENSEMBLE] Margo! [MARGO] Alive! [MALE ENSEMBLE] Margo! [ALL] Alive! [Dance Break] [ENSEMBLE] Margo!
