Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical

Born in Cali and mama named me Cherilyn

I was insecure, but there was a fire within

Skipped school early and went to Hollywood

Tried to meet every big wig that I could

When I met Sonny he was twenty seven

I was younger by a few years, okay, eleven

Short little guy, he stole my heart

Soon we were on top of the charts

(Sang songs) We were writing the hits

It was all glamour and glitz

(Sang songs) We were two shooting stars

And we had each other, babe

Sonny believed in me more than I believed in myself

And bitch, we were just getting started

From television city in Hollywood

The Sonny and Cher Show

Me and Sonny were the hottest show in town

They loved us

And every Monday night

The fans stuck around, to see my Mackie gowns

My daddy's people were Armenian

And I would dress up like an Indian

I wore a head dress, be a gypsy queen

A fortune teller witch from New Orleans

(Cultural appropriation!) That's what we've never heard

(Cultural appropriation!) That wasn't even a word

(Cultural appropriation!) C'mon, it was another time

We just called it fashion, bitch

We evolved with the times

This TV queen, she hit the scene

Divorcing Sonny and getting good rocker beat

(Good, good, good rocker beat)

And now I'm with Geffen, when he was young

I even let Gene Simmons slip me the tongue

(Single lady, danced all night)

And burned the candle at both ends

(The way of love is a twisted trip)

But I'd do it again

No regrets, damnit!

TV's gone, moving on

There's just one thing that's left for me to do

(Disco Cher!)

Ride the trend, to the end

Throw on disco duds and boogie shoes

(Disco Cher!)

Make some hits, flash my tits!

God, I gotta stop wearing all this cheap crap

(Disco Cher!)

Ride this wave (ride this wave) to my grave (to my grave)

This disco craze will last forever

Gotta do whatever it takes

Even wear roller skates

This era was a bumpy section

Seems like I might need a new direction

I didn't know what to do next

So I called Sonny on the set of Fantasy Island

He told me to believe in myself

Go into acting, and snap out of it

Cue the track

Your career hits the skids and you're busy with kids

(Snap out of it!)

When Altman offers you a scene in Come Back Jimmy Dean

(Snap out of it!) Finally!

More roles come if you ask like the break with Mormon Mass

(Snap out of it!)

Just snap out of it

(Snap out of it!)

You know what I wanna do?

Play a witch in Eastwick

I don't need a damn broomstick!

(Snap out of it!)

I screwed up all those words

Then get struck by the moon

Slap Nic Cage, make him swoon

Snap out of it, bitches!

I won an Oscar, damnit!

Okay, now what?

Got tired of starring in the same old movie

So I stripped with sailors on the MTV (MTV)

They wouldn't stop with the tabloid headlines

No one had ever seen an ass like mine

But I was only getting started

In new adventures yet uncharted

I got in amazing shape and sold a fitness tape!

(Don't turn your back on Cher)

Don't turn your back, baby

Hoo!

'Til my bank balance is longer than my hair

Don't turn your back on Cher

(Don't turn your back on Cher)

Got tattoos everywhere

(Got tattoos everywhere)

And thanks to my hustle

I'm a billionaire, hoo!

In breaking news

Sonny Bono has passed away unexpectedly

With Sonny gone, I didn't have anyone

Around to believe in me

So I needed to believe in myself, ho!

How am I supposed to cope?

(She can't cope)

I Cher am gonna miss that dope

(Bye-bye, Sonny)

But since he's not around

I need a brand new sound!

Vocoder, something I can believe

The answer is technology

Vocoder, a new trick up my sleeve

Turn into a robot from outer space!

And I know the gays will buy this

And I know Britney will try this

Now my legacy's secure

Time to do another Cher-well Tour

I invented reinvention, bitches

When our world is destroyed and the end of time approaches

Two things will be left Cher and cockroaches!

Cher and roaches, cockroaches and Cher

When all else is gone, we'll still be there

Cher and roaches, cockroaches and Cher

Get used to us, we ain't going nowhere

Wagon Wheel Watusi!
