WITHOUT LOVE

SEAWEED
(climbing in Penny's window)
Psst Penny! What happened?!

PENNY (strapped into bed)
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission!

SEAWEED
Well, I'm here to save the fair maiden in her tower.

PENNY
Oh, Seaweed!

LINK (sneaking into jail)
Tracy, you took beautiful behind bars!

TRACY
It must be the low-watt instutionai lighting!

LINK
Oh Tracy, they can keep us from kissing,
but they can't stop us from singing!

LINK
Once i was a selfish fool
Who never understood
I never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, i looked good!

Then we met and you made me
The man i am today
Tracy, i'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
'Cause...

LINK (& ENSEMBLE)
Without love
Life is like the seasons with
No summer
Without love
Life is rock 'n' roll without
A drummer

Tracy, i'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free
No, i ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy,
No, no, no!!

TRACY
Once i was a simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But i was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may
Disagree

ENSEMBLE
Tracy!!

TRACY
Fame was just a prison
Signing autographs a bore
I didn't have a clue
'Til you came banging on my door

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
That without love
Life is like my dad without his bromo
Without love
Life is making out with perry como!

Darling, i'll be yours forever
'Cause i never wanna be
Without love
So darling, throw away the key

LINK & TRACY
I'm yours forever

TRACY
Throw away the key

LINK, TRACY& ENSEMBLE
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

SEAWEED
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere ya go
Who'd 've thought i'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow

PENNY
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now i've tasted chocolate
And i'm never going back

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
'Cause without love

SEAWEED
Life is like a beat that you can't follow

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Without love

PENNY
Life is doris day at the apollo

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Darling, i'll be yours forever
'Cause i never wanna be
Without love

SEAWEED
So darling, never set me free

PENNY & SEAWEED
I'm yours forever
Never set me free

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
No, no, no!

LINK
If you're locked up in this prison, trace
I don't know what i'll do

TRACY
Link, i've got to break out
So that i can get my hands on you

SEAWEED
And girl, if i can't touch you
Now i'm gonna lose control

PENNY
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Sweet freedom is our goal

LINK
Trace, i wanna kiss ya!

TRACY
Then i can't wait for parole!

(Link & Seaweed break their girls out of their respective prisons
and continue singing... of course)

ALL
'Cause without love

SEAWEED
Life is like a prom that won't invite us

ALL
Without love

LINK
Life's getting my big break and laryngitis

ALL
Without love

PENNY
Life's a '45' when you can't buy it

ALL
Without love

TRACY
Life is like my mother on a diet

ALL
Like a week that's only mondays
Only ice cream never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "do not enter!"

DARLING, I'LL BE YOURS FOREVER
'Cause I never wanna be...

Without love

PENNY & LINK
Yes now you've captured me

ENSEMBLE
Without love

SEAWEED & TRACY
I surrender happily

ENSEMBLE
Without love

PENNY
Oh seaweed

ALL
Never set me free

PENNY & SEAWEED
No, no, no

TRACY & LINK
No, i ain't lyin'

PENNY & SEAWEED
Never set me free

ALL
No, no, no
No, i dont wanna live without

PENNY
Love, love, love

LINK
Yeah, yeah, yeah

ALL
Darling, you had best believe me,
Never leave me without love!


IT TAKES TWO

LINK
They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by your side
And so i will wait
Until that moment you decide

LINK & GUYS
That i'm your man
And you're my girl
That i'm the sea
And you're the pearl
It takes two, baby,
It takes two
Doo doo - wop!

LINK
A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper. Babe,
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me,

LINK & GUYS
I'm your king
And you're my queen
That no one else
Can come between
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

GUYS
Don't you know

LINK
Lancelot had guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old st. Nick
Romeo had juliet
And liz, well, she has her dick

They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away

Just like frankie avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe,
To say the things 1 long to hear
So come closer baby,
Oh and whisper in my ear

TRACY (in anything but a whisper)
Yeah!

LINK
That you're my girl
And i'm your boy
That you're my pride
And i'm your joy
That i'm the sand
And you're the tide
I'll be the groom
If you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

TRACY (& GUYS)
I'm your girl (you're my girl)
You're my boy (i'm your boy)
You're my pride
I'm your joy
I'm the sand
You're the tide
Be the groom
I'll be your bride (be my bride)

It takes two...
It takes two...

LINK
It takes two, baby

TRACY & LINK
It takes two

GUYS
...Two - oo - îîí!



YOU CAN"T STOP THE BEAT

TRACY
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet

But i just cannot stand still
Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way

TRACY & LINK
Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today

'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why

And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!

PENNY
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea

SEAWEED
You can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be

PENNY
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,
I'll call the N Double A C P
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way

PENNY & SEAWEED
Cause you can't stop the beat

PENNY & SEAWEED
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today

'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
We're dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat!

EDNA
You cant stop my happiness
Cause i like the way i am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork
When i see a christmas ham
so if you don't like the way i look
Well, i |ust don't give a damn!

EDNA & ENSEMBLE
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way

EDNA & COMPANY
'Cause you cant stop the beat

Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today

Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!


MOTORMOUTH
Oh oh oh
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry
And it's never coming back

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day

MOTORMOUTH
And it don't know white from black

ENSEMBLE
Yeah!

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
'Cause you cant stop the beat

ALL
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today
'Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop ths paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat!

Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah

ALL
Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when the day is done
But we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have some fun
For today!

ALL
Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
