Act I

1-Come Look At The Freaks

Company:
Come look at the freaks
Come gape at the geeks
Come examine their aberrations
Their malformations
Grotesque physiques
Only pennies for peaks
Come look at the freaks

Men:
Come look at the freaks
They'll haunt you for weeks
Come explore why they fascinate you
Exasperate you
And flush your cheeks

                    Women:
                  Ah, ah, ah

Women:
Come hear how love speaks

All:
Come look at the freaks

The Boss:
Ladies and Gentlemen
Step right up
Right this way
There is no wait
We don't waste your time
So little to pay
Just one thin dime
Gains your admission
To my odditorium
Never have you seen
A comparable emporium
Of wonders under one tent
Your dime could not be better spent

Come see a curious gal
The bearded Lady
See a man
Turned into a reptile
As punishment for his sins
Come hear the hunting song
Of the Siamese Twins

Come see our elegant geek
Refined but deadly
Chicken necks delight his incisors
Their heads decorate the mud
His favorite cocktail drink
It's warm chicken blood!
From the barren desert
Of the heathen camel trade
For our gentlemen friends
The seraglio of a Hashemite sheik
His harem was freed
And we have found it's quite unique
For these girls are virgins still
Had I arrived but an hour late
That old sheik would have had
His fill

All:
Come see God's mistakes
The freaks God forsakes
Take a look at the monster babies
Dog men with rabies
A bride of snakes

The Boss:
And we don't harbor fakes

All:
Come see God's mistakes

The Boss:
From the inky jungles
Of the darkest continent
You will witness first hand
The ferocity of the Cannibal King
We keep him chained up
Because we know he's hankering
For a taste of one of you
And you are here for enlightenment
Not as stock for cannibal stew

The Boss:
Come look at the freaks
Come gape at the geeks
Come examine their aberrations
Their malformations
Grotesque physiques
Only pennies for peaks
Come look at the freaks
                          Attractions:
                         Come inside
                         Curiosity satisfied
                         Come!………………
                         See the underside
                         Ah, ah, inside…
                         Ah…

The Boss:
Won't you please forgive me
If I seem emotional
For the stars of our show
I am speaking of course
Of the Siamese Twins
I adopted these girls
And gave them moral disciplines
Taught them standards
Right from wrong
I nurtured their musicality
Let them charm you with their song

Daisy & Violet:
Ah, ah, ah,
               The Boss:
             Come look at the freaks
             Come gape at the geeks
All:
Come inside!
Curiosity satisfied

The Boss and All:
Come examine their aberrations
Their malformations
Grotesque physiques
Only pennies for peaks
Come look at the freaks!


2-Happy Birthday To You And To You

All:
Happy birthday to you and to you
Here's a big happy birthday times
Two
Happy birthday from the whole
Damn crew
Happy birthday to you and to you



3-I'm Daisy, I'm Violet
Daisy:
I'm Daisy

Violet:
I'm Violet

Both:
We're Siamese twins

Violet:
I'm to your right
As you watch our show

Daisy:
She thinks she's always right
Not so
I'm Daisy


Violet:
I'm Violet

Both:
What else would you like to know?

Terry:
What are your dreams?
What are you longing for?



4-Like Everyone Else

Violet:
I want to be like everyone else
So no one will point and stare
To walk down the streets
Not attracting attention
No notice
No mention
No hint of despair
A normal reaction,
A standard response
The same as everyone wants

Daisy:
I want to be like everyone else
But richer and more acclaimed
Worshipped and celebrated
Pampered and loved
To see those who've laughed
Feeling ashamed
A glorious, frantic
Adoring response
The same as everyone wants
I'd go abroad
See all the sights
Hear folks applaud
Bow to the lights

Violet:
I'd settle down
Never to roam
Find a nice husband and home

Daisy:
I want to be

Violet:
I want to be

Both:
Like everyone else
But not like my sister says


Daisy:
She wants stability

Violet:
She would like fame
I'd like serenity

Daisy:
Frenzied acclaim

Both:
Though we can't agree on a single
Response
We want what everyone wants
Only what everyone wants
The same as everyone wants



5-The Devil You Know

Jake:
I'm not gonna tell you
You're making a mistake
Tell you not to go
No, I won't
I'll only say
What I've learned along my way
The devil you know
Beats the devil you don't

We don't work
In the best of situations
We don't live very well
We don't live
In the neighborhood of heaven
We live somewhere closer to hell

We have learned
To walk around the situation
Learned to hide
Till the heat has passed
You will learn
A promise of salvation
Can mask another inferno's blast

The devil you know
Beats the devil you don't
That Promised Land
Could turn out to be dry
Once you're gone
You might ask yourselves why
Maybe you will
Or maybe you won't
But the devil you know
Beats the devil you don't
Oh, yeah!
Roustabout 1:
You don't know
The world beside the sideshow

Roustabout 2:
You don't know
What Satan can plan

Bearded Lady:
You don't know the safety you'd be leaving

Jake:
We're your family
We're your clan

Snake Lady:
Here we've got
Each other to depend on

Harem Girl 2:
Here you've got
The best home you'll ever find

Bearded Lady:
Other folks
Don't know how to take us

Jake:
The world out there
Can be so unkind
The devil you know…
Beats the devil you don't
His game of chance
Just might be a scam

Jake, Roustabout 1:
You can't play
Then decide you should scram

Jake, Roustabout 1, Roustabout 3, Sheik:
Maybe you'll win
Or maybe you won't
But the devil you know
Beats the devil you won't

6th Exhibit:
How can you
Say that man's a devil?

Roustabout 4:
How can you
Say he's wicked and bad?

Geek:
How can you
Criticize an angel?

All three:
Promising more heaven
Than they've ever had

Fortune Teller:
I'm a fortuneteller
I can see the future
I can look at people
See what's lying ahead

Violet and Daisy
I see you're bound for glory
The man that was here
Will do all that he said
That man's not a devil
No-believe it I won't
He's not a devil
No
And miss this chance
I hope that they don't
No don't
No don't
No don't

The "no" Group:
What if he's a devil?

The "yes" Group:
What if he's not?
He could be an angel

The "yes" Group:
That heaven forgot!

Fortune Teller:
I think you may be jealous

Jake:
Jealous of what?

All:
That Violet and Daisy
Might give him a shot!

The "no" Group:
But, the devil you know
Beats the devil you don't
That Promised Land
Could turn out to be dry
So dry--
Once you're gone
You might ask yourselves why
Maybe you will
But the devil you know
But the devil you know
But the devil you know

The "yes" Group:
He's not a devil
I won't believe it
Believe it I won't
Understand
He could be a good guy
Why?
Or maybe you won't
No, no he's not a devil
No, no he's not a devil
No, no he's not a devil

Jake:
All right!
Now, we could argue all night
Because we care about you two
Maybe you will go
Or maybe you won't
But I hope you will remember
That that mean old
Money-grubbin'
Gin-guzzlin'
Name-callin'
Devil you know
Might be better than
That smooth talking
Fine-looking
Dream-spinning
Promise making
Devil
You don't!

The "yes" Group:
No, no, no,
Don't call him a devil!
No, no, no,
Don't call him a devil!
No, no, no,
Don't call him a devil!
The "no" Group:
Beats the devil you don't
Beats the devil you don't
Beats the devil you

All:
Don't!



6-More Than We Bargained For

Terry:
Some hidden magnet
Is pulling me back
Back to this strange little show
An invisible force
Dragging me off-course
Pulling me somewhere
I know I shouldn't go

I want
I want
I want to see her
I want
I want
To look at her face
I need
I need
I need to see her
That's why I'm back in this place

Buddy:
We can't wait to show you
The work we've accomplished
You won't believe your own eyes
Meeting each night
At the oddest of hours
But, oh how each hour flies

Our two girls have a special gift
I've only begun to explore
Any clouds of doubt will lift
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for

Terry:
We'll see about that. Sounds like you've managed okay here.

Buddy:
Working in the midst
Of the strangest folks
They're helpful
I like them
They get my jokes
I thought they were performers
In a sad, bleak show
But here I am
I fit right in
Into a freak show!

Terry:
So, Buddy; you've finally found a home. Have the girls give you any trouble?

Buddy:
Well, Violet is slow
But we work till she gets it
Daisy does everything right
I'm more concerned
With some personal questions
I swear I did not invite
I think Violet's sweet on me
Sweet's very hard to ignore
Daisy mentions you with glee
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for

Terry:
Daisy asks about me?

Buddy:
Only about fifty times a day

Terry:
You're kidding.

She thinks I'll make her famous
Get her foot in the door

Buddy:
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for
Do you think they're pretty?

Terry:
Pretty?

Buddy:
Well, they are

Terry:
Let's get them flowers

Buddy:
That's going to far

Terry:
Why?

Buddy:
Flowers are romantic
Romance is in the air
So beware

Terry:
Buddy, you've got so much to learn!
You don't know women

Buddy:
Not like them

Terry:
Let me set you right

Buddy:
I know more than you think

Terry:
They'll try to hook you


Buddy:
Oh, come on!

Terry:
But you don't have to bit
I've known lots of women

Buddy:
So I've heard

Terry:
The lovely
The gruesome
I've seen things
I've tried things
But never a twosome!

Buddy:
I'm not interested in that

Terry:
Then close your eyes

Buddy:
What?

Terry:
Just a little joke

Buddy:
It's no joking matter

Terry:
You worry too much

Buddy:
I'm just saying we need to look

Terry:
Look at what?

Buddy:
Look at where this road leads

Terry:
To vaudeville

Buddy:
It's not right we overlook
Their needs             
They have needs
Terry:
We're giving them the chance
Of a lifetime

Buddy:
Are we doing what fair and right?
Terry:
Yes, we are

Buddy:
Wish I could know what's in store

Terry:
Who knows that?

Terry and Buddy:
The future should be clear tonight

Buddy:
I think we're getting more

Terry:
Are we getting more?

Both:
Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for



7-Feelings You've Got To Hide


Daisy
All our dreams
Are coming true

Violet
At least the dream
That's starring you

Daisy
Terry's my dream personified
I can feel him there
Right by my side
I can feel his love
I can feel his pride

Violet
Those are feelings
You have got to hide

Daisy
Why do I feel
Like I swallowed a butterfly?
Tickling inside
Makes me laugh
Till I want to cry
Why are my eyes turning moist
While my throat is dry?
Is it that handsome guy?
Why are my feelings
Racing around inside?
Will I explode
If all of my thoughts collide
One minute brave
The net minute terrified
Are these feelings I have got to hide?

Violet
Don't let your heart
Lead your head astray
He couldn't possibly feel that way

Daisy
I know he loves me
I know I'll be his bride

Violet
These are feelings you have got to hide
Do not tell
Do not confide
These longings can't be satisfied
This wave will wash out with the tide
These are feeling you've got to hide

Daisy
I can't hide what I feel
The way that you do

Violet
What do you mean?
I'm not in love like you

Daisy
I think you are
And Buddy is the guy

Violet
What do you say?
Tell me why

Daisy
I'm your sister
I'm your shadow
I do know

Violet
Oh you know…?

Daisy
Yes I do

Violet
What you're thinking

Daisy
I'm not deaf I'm not blind

Violet
You can always

Daisy
Read your mind

Violet
Read my mind

Violet
Now I'm the one
Lighting up like a firefly
Now I'm the one
Blushing red
Eating humble pie
Why do I want to tell all
And yet feel so shy
About that handsome guy

Daisy
You want a husband
You want to be a bride

Violet
Heart in my throat
Like I'm on a mid-way ride
But I'll never show
What's going on inside
These are feelings you've got to hide

Daisy
Why do you feel that way?

Violet
Feelings aren't for display

Daisy
Let's announce love today

Violet
You would shout
What you should never say

Daisy
Why are these feelings
Racing around inside
Will all my thoughts collide?
I know I'll be his bride
Are these
Feelings I've got to hide
Violet
These longings can't be satisfied
This wave will wash out with the tide
These are feeling you've got to hide
Feelings you've got to hide


8-When I'm By Your Side

Daisy & Violet

You are my favorite new playmate
I love the fun you provide
A song and a laugh
Is better by far
When I'm by your side

Happy to be your companion
Glad that I qualified
I feel as grand as the canyon
When I'm by your side

People stop dead when they've seen us
We take their staring in stride
Can't fit a needle between us
When I'm by your side

We're an unusual duo
Don't always swim with the tide
But who needs a boat
I'm always afloat
When I'm by your side

I like what a duo can do
The combination is greater
Than the sum of the parts

Should we cement this arrangement
Now that it's tested and tried
We're such a tight weave
I don't want to leave

We make a matched set
A perfect duet
Like eggs are to ham
Like twins to Siam
I'm by your side



9-Say Goodbye To The Freak Show
Violet
What have we done?

Daisy
Lost our jobs

Violet
Closed a door

Terry
Opened more!
Say goodbye to the freak show
Say hello to the footlight's glow
Your success can only grow
Say goodbye to the freak show

Attractions
Goodbye

Daisy
Goodbye
We will miss you

Geek
Don't cry
Let me kiss you

Violet
Oh my
Why should it be so hard
To say goodbye

Harem Girl 1
Farewell
Don't forget us

Bearded Lady
Do tell how you met us

6th Exhibit
Don't dwell on sorrow as you go

Dolly
You will fare well

Fortune Teller
Now, now
Saying goodbye is part of growing up
There's a whole new world
Of friends for you to make

Jake
Goodbye Daisy
Dear, sweet Violet

Daisy & Violet
Oh, no!
Not goodbye to Jake

Jake
Take wing
Fly to glory
Dance, sing
Tell your story
You bring
Such joy to those you've known
Take flight, take wing


Terry
Jake, looks like their hearts
Might break
Saying goodbye to you
You're a friend to the twins
You've helped them along
Constant support
Quiet and strong
We could use your backstage
As we tour with their act
Why not join the troupe
Your bag is packed

Daisy
Yes, say yes!

Jake
Please, come along

Jake
Nothing lost if I decide to
I feel I belong beside you

Attractions
Say goodbye to the freak show
Bless your new impresario
We always knew you would outgrow
The tents of the sideshow
Goodbye

Strike tents
Pull the stakes up
Go gents
Let the brakes up
No fence
Stop us from moving on
To our next show

Farewell
Don't forget us
Do tell how you met us
Don't dwell on sorrow as you go
You will fare well
Goodbye



10-Leave Me Alone

Daisy
Terry, how about a good luck kiss?

Terry
Well-deserved; break a leg
Have fun


Daisy
I always have fun
When you're around

Terry
Likewise, you're a good-time girl

Violet
You are a shameless
A shameless flirt

Daisy
Showing some interest couldn't hurt

Violet
Some?
You show the maximum!

Daisy
And you prefer I act like you
Afraid to show interest, afraid it's taboo
How will your Buddy ever have a clue
That you love him through and through?

Violet
Don't say that!
He might overhear

Daisy
So what?
Why live in fear?
He might feel the same
But he's shy

Violet
So am I
I despise the way you advertise

Daisy
I hate your coy little act

Violet
Is that a fact?

Daisy
Leave me alone
This is none of your business
You don't need to judge
Or offer advice
You're not my mother
You're not my warden
Don't need a strict chaperone
Why don't you leave me alone?

Violet
Leave you alone?
I'm trying to help you
You're reckless behavior
Embarrasses me
If you could see you
From my perspective
You wouldn't like what you were shown
No, I won't leave you alone

Daisy
Leave me alone

Violet
And how would I do that

Daisy
Leave me alone

Violet
Tell me where would I go?

Daisy
Leave me alone

Violet
Believe me, I'd love to

Daisy
I need some time on my own

Daisy
Leave me alone
You don't know
What you're saying
You'll never find love
By playing it shy
Don't need the wisdom
Or the opinion
You grandly dispense
From your throne
Why don't you leave me alone?
Violet
Leave you alone
Can you hear what you're saying?
You won't find love
By chasing the guy
I don't have wisdom
Just an opinion
My throne? Oh no
I won't
Leave you alone

Daisy
That's what I'm asking

Violet
Leave you alone


Daisy
It's a simple request

Violet
Leave you alone

Daisy
I'd be fine without you
I need some time on my own

Violet
I don't like your tone

Daisy
Why don't you

Violet
How could I

Daisy
I hate you

Violet
So do I

Both                          
Why don't you leave me alone?   



11-We Share Everything

4 Archeologists
We've traveled Nome to Bali
Seen the history of human folly
Courted danger till our hair was curled
Seen all Seven Wonders of the World

While those seven wonders deteriorate
Our new discovery is right up-to-date
This is a wonder you can't duplicate
Clean the slate
Here's the great
Number eight

Daisy and Violet
Life's ducky
Balmy weather
We're lucky
We're together
We're a pair remarkably mated
People swear we must be related
We can't bear to be separated
We share everything

Two songbirds
Zero friction
No strong words
Dainty diction
Harmony is what we always sing
We're so happy
We share everything

Violet
Never division
On any decision
Never a word that's severe

Daisy
Two different voices
Identical choices
Never an argument here

Both
We're both sweet and understanding
We divide the pie
We see eye-to-eye

We're never pushy-shovey
Forever lovey-dovey
All through summer
Winter, fall or spring
We're united through every season
We're delighted
You know the reason
You can share to
There's nothing to it
So prepare to watch how we do it

Come on boys
Build a barge
Make it fancy
Make it large
Grab an oar
Row with style
Take us down the Nile!

We're so happy we share everything

Pharaohs
We're so happy
We're so happy
We're so happy

Company
We share everything



12-Buddy Kissed Me

Violet
Buddy, kissed me
He kissed me foe the first time
Daisy
Didn't you hear what he said?

Violet
There's only one thought
Running through my head
He kissed me

Daisy
And then they both denied
Any thought of romance

Violet
But he kissed me
Words can lie
But kissed don't

Daisy
You can lie to yourself
I won't
No one could love a Siamese Twin
Nobody wants us
No one ever has
No one ever will

Violet
Why are you trying to kill my dream?

Daisy
It's not a dream
It's a nightmare
Wake up
Look around you
We are freaks
Stuck together
And we'll always be alone

Violet
But I want to wake up
To what I'm dreaming of
Dreaming that someday
Some night
I could find love
Will I find love?



13-Who Will Love Me As I Am?

Violet
Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?

Daisy
Like an odd exotic creature
On display inside a zoo
Hearing children asking questions
Makes me ask some questions too
Could we bend the laws of nature?
Could a lion love a lamb?
Who could see beyond this surface?
Who will love me as I am?

Both
Who will ever call to say I love you?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Daisy
Like a clown whose tears cause laughter
Trapped inside the center ring

Violet
Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering

Both
Who would want to join this madness?
Who would change my monogram?
Who will be part of my circus?
Who will love me as I am?

Who will ever call to say I love you?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Company
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?



Act II

14-Rare Songbirds On Display

Daisy and Violet
We're singing sweet bird songs of lo-ve
As we float and flutter abo-ve
And each little sparrow and dove
Wants to play
Our love songs are music for mating
But these little lovebirds are waiting
Will someone find us captivating prey?
We'll keep singing…

Daisy, Violet and Company
…Till that day
They're (we're) songbirds on display

Company
Two birds in flight
Delighting far above the fray
They're winging
They're singing
They're bringing melodies our way
Ah-what a feather spray
Rare songbirds on display
Ah
Ah



15-New Year's Day

Buddy
Violet, I love you
I don't know how else to say it
I want you to be my wife
I dream of you sharing my life
What are you waiting for?
What's so hard?

Violet
I'm caught by surprise
Caught off-guard
Never trusted good times or success
Now I'm trusting my heart
I'm saying
Yes, Buddy!
I'll marry you

Buddy
We've got heavenly nights to share
Shooting stars to outshine
Violet
Heavenly nights to share
Shooting stars

Both
And our shot at the moon
Can't miss or ricochet

Terry
Let's make it public
For New Year's Day

Buddy
What about a big double wedding?


Violet
Oh what a splendid display

Daisy
Could it be that's where we're heading?

Terry
Time to welcome New Year's Day

All Four
We've got rosy red days ahead
Under dreamy blue cloudless sky
We've got years of bliss
To kiss away each day
Here's to the good times
We're on our way

Terry
Love is the lead-in

Company
We've got rosy red days ahead
Under dreamy blue cloudless sky
As the old year wanes
Love will lead the way
Here's to a new love
May it be true love!
One-made-from-two love
For New Year's Day
For New Year's Day
For New Year's Day



16-Private Conversation

Terry
An obvious connection
I tried so hard to hide
Couldn't even say it to myself
An obvious connection
I tried to push aside
Into a corner
On the darkest shelf

We'll never be alone
And my feelings can't be shown
So I try to imagine and replay
All the things I'll never get to say
You're wrapped up with another
Tangled and entwined
I invent a separation
In the private conversation
In my mind

I resolve to say it all
Then I hem and haw and stall
For how could I come clean
Or confide
Someone else
Is always at your side
I want
I want
I want to tell you
I want
I want
To get you alone
I need
I need
I need to tell you
I want you for my own

If we could steal a moment
Would you be so inclined
To accept an invitation
To the private conversation
In my mind

Daisy
What do you want to say to me, Terry?
Tell me, this is your chance
What do you need to say to me, Terry?
Does it concern romance?

Here I am, all alone
Yours to take
Smooth me out
Calm me down
Stop the ache

Don't hold back
Don't hold off
Hold me tight
Don't object
Let's connect
Let's unite

Terry
But you can't lose your shadow
That tie, you can't unbind

Daisy
You've made us all alone now

Terry
All alone
But only in my mind

Daisy
A mind is very private
We often meet in mine
Let me show you what we do there
The way we kiss
The way we intertwine
I want
I want
I want to show you

Terry
Show me what?

Daisy
I want to show you desire
The heart
The flames

Terry
I'm burning for you

Daisy
I know you are on fire

Why not be bold?
I'm crazy about you
I say it with every glance
My arms are cold
And lazy without you
Come on
Why don't we dance?

Terry
I want
I want
I want to keep you

Daisy
Keep me where?

Terry
Oh no
I want alone

I imagine us so well
How you'd dance and taste and smell
I can imagine me with you
But I don't have the guts
To follow through
You're one half of a couple
That's how you are defined
And my only consolation
Is the private conversation
In my mind



17-One Plus One Equals Three

Buddy
I never sought the spotlight
I stayed behind the scenes
But then I met a sweetheart
Who changed my old routines
She out me in the spotlight
Now I'm a happy pup
And when I count my blessings
I find they all add up
To

One plus one equals three
My baby, her sister and me
This is not what I expected
But my baby is well connected
You can see why I elected
This arithmetic with an odd key
Where one plus one equals three

Some guys
Wonder how it'll work
Some women
Titter and smirk
All their questions will be resolved
I've got the problem solved
`Cause one plus one
One plus one
One plus one

Daisy and Violet
We've always been a duo

Daisy
A twosome who's compact

Both
But we're happy to welcome

Violet
And addition to our act

Daisy
He's Violet's intended

Buddy
I'm the lucky one

Violet
I'm the one who's lucky

All Three
Ain't we having fun!

Buddy
We're planning a big wedding
For each and every friend
Consider this your invitation

Daisy and Violet
Hope you will attend!

All Three
Big day
Will be coming up soon
Big wedding

Buddy and Violet
Small honeymoon

All Three
For the moment
We thought we'd do
This preview just for you

Vale Sisters
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo

Daisy, Violet and Vale Sisters
Hey there, professor
Won'tcha answer, yes sir!
How-zabout a lesson in your new kind a math

Buddy
Well…
One plus one equals…?

Girls
That's gonna be
Gonna be three

Violet
His baby

Daisy
His sister

Buddy
And don't forget me

Vale Sisters
It's not your average equation
Not your standard occasion

Buddy
With a little persuasion
How hap-hap-hap-hap-happy we'll be
When one plus one

Girls
Plus one

Buddy
One plus one

Girls
What fun
Buddy
One plus one
Means my baby

Violet
I'm his baby

Vale Sisters

Buddy
And me

Vale Sisters
That equals

Violet
And me

Vale Sisters
That equals

Daisy
And me

Vale Sisters
That equals

All
Equals three!



18-You Should Be Loved

Jake
You should me loved
By someone who knows you
Wants you to blossom
Always is true
You should be cherished
Like the first time of springtime
You should be loved…

You should be loved
With constant devotion
Heart-pounding passion
Flooding you through
You should be treasured
Like a ruby or a diamond
You should be loved
In the way I love you

All through the years
I've held oceans inside
Held back the tears
And the waves and the tide
The dam had to burst
And the currents collide
With the flood of emotion
I can no longer hide

We should be close
As stars are to heaven
Shoreline to ocean
Birds to the blue
We should be coupled
With a lifetime connection
We should be joined
Like we're one and not two
Yes, you should be loved
In the way I love you

Violet
Jake, of course we love each other
Like a brother and sister
Or mother and child
Not in a way that is wild
Like…

Jake
Haven't you heard what I'm saying?
I am in love with you

Violet
Oh, Jake
Oh no
I never thought
Never felt

Jake
What I felt?

Violet
I never knew

Jake
Well, now you do

Violet
You know me better than anyone
Except Daisy
You've always been more than a friend
You know I don't long
To see Paris or Rome
All that I want
Is a husband and home

Jake
I could be both

Violet
The world won't let you

Jake
I don't care about them
Only you
With love
We could rise above
The whispers and stares
We could challenge the powers of fate
We could master a bad circumstance
If you give me a chance

Jake
We should be close
As stars are to heaven
Shoreline to ocean
Birds to the blue
We should be coupled
With a lifetime connection
We should be joined
Like we're one and not two
Yes, you should be loved
In the way I love you
Violet
We are close
Like a brother and sister
Mother and child
The world won't let us
I know what people do
I am loved
And in my way I love you

Violet
I want to be like everyone else
I couldn't bear
What they would say
If I loved you that way

Jake
If I can see us
Past your affliction
Why can't you see past mine?
Why do you care
What people might say?
Why try to fit
Into their desing?
If I had told you
Your love is a lie
Would you have kissed it goodbye?

One of these days
You will look back in shame
After you've learned
That a spark's not a flame
You will regret
How you pushed love aside
When you're married to nothing
When you're misery's bride

You should be loved
By someone who wants you
Tries to protect you
Always comes through
You should have chosen
The one who supports you
Always supports you
Whatever you do
Yes you should be loved
In the way I love you



19-Tunnel Of Love

Terry
We're on a mid-way
A Texas-sized playground
Lots of diversion around
We need distraction
Without too much action
Let me show you
A quiet spot I've found

Let me take you to
The Tunnel of Love
Dark and relaxing inside
All of us could share
The Tunnel of Love
Please come along for the ride
We need a break
From the push and the shove
Work has us preoccupied

Terry and Buddy
We can relax in The Tunnel of Love

Terry and Buddy
Please come along
For the ride
Violet
I'll come along
For the ride
Daisy
            I'll come along
For the ride


All
We're going to The Tunnel of Love
We'll get a boat and embark
Water below and blackness above

Terry
We'll be alone, Daisy
In the dark

Buddy
Like we're alone honey
In the dark

Daisy and Violet
Almost alone
In the dark

Daisy
Dreamed of being close
Now I'm pressing against his side
Do I dare to make an advance?
He's not made a move
Should I swallow my girlish pride?
This could be my only chance

Buddy
Out there in the spotlight
Never had a doubt I wanted her
Why do I feel panic
Down here in the dark?
Violet, I love you
Thought that love would lead to passion
Passion should be private
Me and you
But I know
She's there to

Terry
I had planned to keep the temperature cool
She's raising my Fahrenheit
Don't let passion rule you
Don't be a fool
Don't feed that appetite
Oh what the hell-why fight'

Violet
What is going on?
Why don't Buddy's kissed feel divine?
Why do Daisy's kissed run up my spine?
Much more passion on her side than mine
Buddy's tame
Daisy's aflame

All
Secrets of the dark
Secrets of love
Longing to be satisfied
Though no one can see
In The Tunnel of Love
There's not a place I can hide

Daisy
Terry's on fire
All the heat I've been praying for

Buddy
I can't even try to pretend

Violet
He has no desire

Terry
There are sins I'll be paying for

Daisy
I hope this never will end

Daisy
Lost in the darkness
The boat that I'm floating in
Feels like it's flying through space

Violet
I want to lose myself
All the thoughts of who I am
Here in his private embrace

Daisy
I think I might sink
Edging close to the brink
Of a dangerous steep waterfall
Or am I not moving at all?

Violet
All alone now
No one is watching us
Why not climb over the wall?
Take me and give me your all

Daisy
Groping my way
Toward an unstated goal
Don't know where I'm going
But feel like I've been there before

Violet
Shouldn't you take the lead?
Shouldn't I follow?
Shouldn't you feel the need?
My heart is hollow

Daisy
I know you are ready
I'm on the right track
No stopping now
No turning back

Violet
I want what she's got
What I'm feeling she's got
Everything he's not yet
Feeling with me

Daisy
I am yours
You are mine     Violet
It's divine      I want mine
So divine        Where is mine?
Company
Secrets of the dark
Secrets of love
Longing to be satisfied
Though no one can see
In The Tunnel of Love
There's not a place I can hide

Terry
Was this a mistake-- The Tunnel of Love?
Passion could not be controlled

Buddy
How can we forget The Tunnel of Love?

Violet
Why was I left feeling cold?

Daisy
I found my dream in The Tunnel of Love
Will it continue outside'

All
Now that we're out of The Tunnel of Love
Gotta get off
Gotta get off
Gotta get off
This ride
This ride
This ride



20-Beautiful Day For A Wedding

The Boss
Tickets, tickets

Wedding show today

The Boss and Roustabouts
Wedding
Wedding
Right this way
See the show today
See the groom
See the bride
See her sister
By her side

After noon

Their honeymoon

Love…

Love created in song and in dance
Any reminder there's always a chance
Love could transform our lives
Love
Love!



21-Buddy's Confession

Jake
If you hurt her
I will hunt you down

Terry
What was that all about?

Daisy
He loves her
He truly does

Terry
What?!

Buddy
He's right Violet
You deserve better

Terry
Buddy…

Buddy
I've tried
But I'm playing a part
I've tried
And it's breaking my heart

Violet
You don't love me?

Buddy
I do Violet
But not the way you want
I'm not that strong of a man

Violet
But you're the man I love

Buddy
You should be loved
By someone like Jake
Somebody strong
Who's able to take
Whatever comes along

Sharing life with two
Is more than I can do
If only I'd known it before
Loving you is more
Than I bargained for



22-Marry Me, Terry

Daisy
I have a solution
Marry me, Terry

Terry
With the whole world expecting a different pair?

Daisy
They're expecting
The wedding of a Siamese twin
They won't care

Browning
Smart girl!

Daisy
Marry me, Terry
It makes so much sense
I know you want me
Jump off the fence
The crowd wants a wedding
The bride has withdrawn
Marry me, Terry
The show must go on

Browning
Marry her, Connor. This story is too big to lose

Violet
No! Do it because you love me

Marry me, Terry
No need to pretend
I know you want me
As more than a friend
Last night you showed me
What you're capable of
Have you forgotten
The Tunnel of Love?

Terry
I was weak

Daisy
No--strong

Terry
I lost control

Daisy
Was that wrong?

Terry
Yes, it was

Daisy
Why?

Terry
Not the behavior
Of a normal guy

Daisy
Feeling love is normal
Hiding it is not
Why can't you display
The love you know we've got?
Thought you were made
Of the stuff it would take
My mistake

Marry you, Terry?
Not on your life
I would be crazy
To be your wife
Who is the freak here
The coward, the lout?
Marry you, Terry?
No, I want you out!



23-I Will Never Leave You

Violet
What have we done?

Daisy
Learned the truth


Violet
Closed a door

Daisy
Opened more

Violet
I'm scared daisy

Daisy
Of what?

Violet
Being alone

Daisy
But you're not
You never have been

If we stood on our tiptoes
We could peak over the sill
And once in a while
We would see a girl
Slowly walking up the hill

Violet
And we'd think
What a sad situation
To be outside on you own

Daisy
To go through the town
With no playmate

Violet
To go through life all alone

Both
I will never leave you
I will never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Beside you is where I will stay
Evermore and always
We'll be one though we're two
For I will never leave you

Daisy
When the day is filled with shadows
That stretch into the night

Violet
I am filled with your sweet comfort
Like morning fills with light

Both
I will never leave you
I will never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Beside you is where I will stay
Evermore and always
We'll be one though we're two
For I will never leave you

I will never leave you
I will never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Beside you is where I will stay
Evermore and always
We'll be one though we're two
For I will never
I will never
I will never
Leave you


24-Finale

Violet
Daisy, can you hear what I'm thinking?

Daisy
Yes, clearly as though you spoke

Violet
Give me strength
I fell my spirit sinking

Daisy
Try to laugh
This is the biggest joke
We have seen the world

Violet
And it's seen us

Daisy
We have caused a scene

Violet
We have made a fuss
Are we ever to learn
Why we've lived as two?

Daisy
Probably not
But I'm thankful

Both
It's been with you

Daisy
Come look at the freaks


Violet
Before they're antiques

Both
Come and give them a strong ovation
An acclamation
But no critiques

Daisy
See what Hollywood seeks

Both
Come look at the freaks

The Boss
Good people, we are gathered here today to join two souls as one. If there be anyone present who knows of a reason these two should not be joined together let him speak now or forever hold his peace.

Daisy, Violet and Company
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah,

The Boss
Come look at the freaks

Company
See the bride

Company
Curiosity satisfied
Come and give them
A strong ovation
An acclamation
But no critiques
See love glorified
See love glorified
See love glorified
See love glorified
Come hear how love speaks
Come look at the freaks
Ah, ah!
