The Pitch, Spectacular Spectacular

Zidler: spectacular, spectacular

No words in the vernacular

Can describe this great event

You'll be dumb with wonderment

Returns are fixed at ten percent

You must agree that's excellent

And on top of your fee

Chorus: you'll be involved artistically

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

Elephants

Bohemians

Indians

And courtesans

Acrobats

And juggling bears

Exotic girls

Fire-eaters

Musclemen

Contortionists

Intrigue, danger and romance

Electric lights machinery

And all that electricity!

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

Spectacular, spectacular

No words in the vernacular

Can describe this great event

You'll be dumb with wonderment

The hills are alive

With the sound of music

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

The courtesan and sitarman

Are pulled apart by an evil plan

But in the end, she ears his song

And their love is just to strong

Duca: it's a little bit funny this feeling inside

Chorus: so exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

Christian: the sitar player's secret song

Helps them flee the evil one

Though the tyrant rent and rails

It is all to no avail

Zidler (parlato): i am the evil maharajah! you will not escape!

Satine (parlato): oh, harold, no one could play him like you could

Zidler (parlato): no one will

Chorus: so exciting, we'll make them laugh

We'll make them cry! so delighting…

Duca (parlato): and in the end should someone die?

Chorus: so exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years!

Duca: generally i like it
