We Like The Way We Are
Townspeople: (Medium Speed)
Welcome, Welcome to Valliea! We work all day for little pay. Were not complaining for this is good, because it is for the greater good. Director, rector. He is the master. He saved us from pure disaster. He saves us and pays us for what we do. He is also better than you. Master, master hear our cry. We wait patiently by your side. This a reminder of your grace and love. For us, yes us you sacrifice. For this we love our life, yes we love our life.
Directer: (Slowly and Freely)
My name is Director. I live in shimmering gold. For these are my people, and they live upon the road. There is no escaping. Because I locked it tight. The secret of this town will always be in my mind____
Townspeople: (Fast)
We like the way we are, yes, we like the way we are. The Director is always right about the way we are. We like the way we are we, yes, we like the way we are. He will always be right about the way we are!__________
Evelyn: (Normal)
These people, I all know. For I know them well. But there is a problem. They don't know me___ I am not what you call "normal." These people whisper...and talk about me...all day long_ These people...don't like the way I am. And frankly... I don't either_____
(Chorus) I____ don't like the way I am! And neither do you or you. No one likes the way I am! And there is nothing I can____do. (no) I don't like the way I am__ (twice).
(Everyone joins a three-part round)
Directer: (Slowly and Freely)
My name is Director. I live in shimmering gold. For these are my people, and they live upon the road. There is no escaping. Because I locked it tight. The secret of this town will always be in my mind____
Townspeople: (Fast)
We like the way we are, yes, we like the way we are. The Director is always right about the way we are. We like the way we are we, yes, we like the way we are. He will always be right about the way we are!__________
Evelyn: (Normal)
These people I all know. For I know them well. But there is a problem. They don't know me___ I am not what you call "normal". These people whisper...and talk about me...all day long_ These people...don't like the way I am. And frankly... I don't either_____
Evelyn:
I...don't...like...the...way...I...(am)
Townspeople:
Yes, we like the way we...
Directer:
I like the way they...
All:
Are!___________
Directer: Alright now back to work everyone!
(Everyone murmurs a talkback and quickly get back to work)
Evelyn: (To herself) There's something odd about Directer... I just can't quite put my finger on it.
(Evelyn walks past some townspeople and goes inside her house)
Cheryl: Where have you been?! You missed a whole musical number with Mr. Directer!
Evelyn: (Mumbles) Actually I might have been in it also.
Clarence: What?
Evelyn: Nothing, just that I need to... um... get ready for school.
Cheryl: Oh, okay. Do you want a banana or an apple in your lunch?
Evelyn: Keep going until you get to cookie.
Clarence: What was that?
Evelyn: (Knowing she isn't going to win the argument) Apple.
Cheryl: Have a good day!
Evelyn: Bye!
A.N/ Happy New Year! My New Year's resolution is to upload daily, beginning with this musical my friend and I wrote. Hope you all had a great year, did you miss me? Lol :)
