Beetlejuice: The musical lyrics

Say my name

BETELGEUSE:
You could use a buddy. Don't you want a pal? "Yes I do! Yes I do!" Girl the way i see it, your daddy should be leavin' and you should stick around...

(Spoken):
And kill him!

LYDIA (spoken):
What?!

BETELGEUSE (poken):
Nothing.

(Sung):
So Lydia don't end yourself, defend yourself, daddy is the one you should maim. Together we'll exterminate, assassinate!

LYDIA (spoken):
No!

BETELGEUSE:
The finer points can wait but first you gotta say my name!
Go ahead and jump, but that won't stop him, here you got a solid plan-B option. I could bring your daddy so much pain. All you gotta do is say my name. Girl, just say it three times in a row. And you won't believe how far I'll go! I'm on the bench, but Coach-
Just put me in the game.
All you gotta do is say my name.

LYDIA (spoken):
I don't know your name.

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Well, I can't say it.

LYDIA (spoken):
How 'bout a game of charades?

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Yes! Let's play it!

LYDIA (spoken) (BETELGEUSE, spoken):
Two words...
(Right)
Second word?
(Uh-huh)
Drink?
(No)
Beverage?
(No)
Wine?
(No)
Juice?!
(Yes!)
Okay, first word.
(Okay)
Bug?
(No)
Ant?
(Close, but no)
Beetle?
(Yes!)
Betelgeuse?

BETELGEUSE:
Wow, I'm impressed. And all you gotta do is say my name three time. Three times in a row, it must be spoken unbroken. Ready?

LYDIA (spoken):
Yeah...

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Okay, go!

LYDIA (BETELGEUSE):
Betelgeuse...
(Yes!)
Betelgeuse:
(Yes!)
Beeeee~
(Ow, ow, this is gonna be so good!
~cause
(What?)
You're so smart, a stand up bro. I'll think about your offer let you know, but I prefer my chances down below. Betelgeuse
(Yes)
Betelgeuse
(Yes)
Being
(Urgh)
Young and female doesn't mean that I'm an easy mark. I've been swimming with piranhas, I don't need a shark. Yes life sucks, but not that much. Okay Betelgeuse
(Ugh)
Betelgeuse
(Ugh)
Be a dol
(Augh!)
And spare the lecture!

BETELGEUSE:
I'm offering you a full time-spectre

LYDIA:
Are you any good?

BETELGEUSE:
You bet'cha. Trust me baby!

LYDIA:
I just met ya, really it's a fluttering offer.

BETELGEUSE:
Do't you wanna see dad suffer?

LYDIA:
I think I'd rather just jump off.

BETELGEUSE:
No!

LYDIA:
I may be suicidal, but Betelgeuse, it's not as if I've lost my mind.

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Playing hardball huh? You are tougher than you look.

LYDIA (spoken):
I just wanna make sure I know who I'm working with, got any references?

BARBARA (spoken):
Lydia, there you are!

ADAM (spoken):
Are you alright?

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
A-dog, B-town, my old pals!

ADAM (spoken):
Get away from her! Lydia this is a dangerously unstable individual.

BARBARA:
Betelgeuse is sexy!

ADAM:
Betelgeuse is smart

BOTH:
BJ is a graduate of Juilliard! He can help, we found him on Yelp. Our troubles all ended on the day that we befriended him. Every word is the truth!
Betelgeuse!
Betelgeuse!
Betelgeuse!

BARBARA (spoken):
What the heck was that?

ADAM (spoken):
So violating!

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
There you go kid. Couple of five star reviews.

LYDIA (spoken):
What was that?

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
That was possession. Any ghost can do that in less then one lesson.

LYDIA (spoken):
Any ghost?

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Pretty much, any ghost'll do sure.

LYDIA (spoken):
Then, Betelguese... What do I need you for?

BETELGEUSE:
Whoa, whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Hold up! Hold up girl, I'm your pal, they're sweet, but I'm a demon straight from Hell. I know I went a little hard on the sell. But we're BF-F-F-F's forever!

Aaaaagh!

ADAM AND BARBARA (spoken):
Lydia!

LYDIA (spoken):
What? He was already dead. And you heard what he said, any ghost can do that possession stuff.

(Sung):
We don't need that demon, the three of us alone can wreck dad's evening. Together we can make a grown man weep. Guys, I got a dinner date to keep!

ADAM (spoken):
Okay, so what's the plan?

LYDIA (ADAM AND BARBARA):
Teach dad a lesson. He's gonna freak when we posses him. So he wants the perfect daughter, I'll lead that lamb to slaughter!
Yeah, I got game!
I'm gonna make him say my name.
(Make him say your name.)
I'll make him say my name.
(Make him say your name.)
I'll make him say my name.
(Make him say your name.)

ALL THREE:
Not running away!

LYDIA:
I'll make him say my name!
