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
…Til that day
They’re (we’re) songbirds on display
Company
Two birds in flight
Delighting far above the fray
They’re winging
They’re singin
They’re bringing melodies our way
Ah – what a feather spray
Rare songbirds on display
Ah, ah
14. 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 Shotting stars to outshine |
Violet Heavenly nights to share Shooting stars |
Buddy and Violet
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
Daisy, Terry, Violet, Buddy
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 heat
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
I want you all for my own
My own
My own
Daisy
You have to share me
Terry
Oh no
I want you 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 my sweetheart
Who changed my old routines
She put 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
Daisy and Violet
But we’re happy to welcome
Violet
An addition to our act
Daisy
He’s Violet’s intended
Buddy
I’m the lucky one
Violet
I’m the one who’s lucky
Daisy, Violet, Buddy
Ain’t we having fun!
Buddy
We’re planning a big wedding
For each and ev’ry friend
Consider this your invitation
Daisy and Violet
Hope you will attend!
Daisy, Violet, Buddy
Big day
Will be coming up soon
Big wedding
Violet and Buddy
Small honeymoon
Daisy, Violet, Buddy
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, 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 … ?
Daisy, Violet, Vale Sisters
That’s gonna be
Gonna be three
Violet
His baby
Daisy
Her 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
Daisy, Violet, Vale Sisters
Plus one
Buddy
One plus one
Daisy, Violet, Vale Sisters
What fun!
Buddy
One plus one
Means my baby
Violet
I’m his baby
Vale Sisters
… his baby
Buddy
Her sister
Daisy
I’m his baby’s sister and…
Vale Sisters
His baby’s sister and…
Buddy
And me
Vale Sisters
That equals
Violet
And me
Vale Sisters
That equals
Daisy
And me
Vale Sisters
That equals
Daisy, Violet, Buddy, Vale Sisters
Equals three!
18. YOU SHOULD BE LOVED
Jake
You should be loved
By someone who knows you
Wants you to blossom
Always is true
You should be cherished
Like the first sign 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 |
Violet We are close Like a brother and sister Mother and child The world won’t let us I know what people do 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
Past your affliction
Why can’t you see past mine?
Why do you care
What people might say?
Why try to fit
Into their design?
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 |
Terry, Daisy, Buddy, Violet, Roustabouts
We’re going down 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 |
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 want 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 too
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 kisses feel divine?
Why do Daisy’s shivers run
Up my spine?
Much more passion on her side than mine
Buddy’s tame
Daisy’s aflame
Violet, Buddy, Daisy, Terry, 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
Daisy
Terry is on fire
All the heat I’ve been praying for
Buddy
I can’t even try to pretend
Violet
He has no desire
Terry
These are sins I’ll be paying for
Daisy
I hope this never will end
Lost in the darkness
The boat that I’m floating in
Feels like it’s flying in 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 fill 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
It’s a sin
It’s divine So divine |
Violet I want mine 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 you 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?
Daisy, Violet, Terry, Buddy, Company
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

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 alon
Sharing life with two
Is more than I can do
If only I’d known that 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’s too big to lose.
Daisy
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
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
But why?
Terry
Not the behaviour
Of a normal guy
Daisy
Normal?
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
Of being alone
Daisy
But you’re not
You never have been
If we stood on our tiptoes
We could peek 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 your own
Daisy
To go through the town with no playmate
Violet
To go through life all alone
Daisy and Violet
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
Daisy and Violet
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 I will never leave you I will never go away |
Violet I will never leave you …Never go away |
Daisy and Violet
We were meant to share each moment
Daisy Beside you is where I will stay |
Violet That’s where I will stay Evermore |
Daisy and Violet
We’ll be one though we’re two
Daisy
One though we’re two
Violet
For
Daisy and Violet
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 feel my spirits 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
Daisy and Violet
It’s been with you
Daisy
Come look at the freaks
Violet
Before they’re antiques
Daisy and Violet
Come and give them a strong ovation
An acclamation
But no critiques
Daisy
See what Hollywood seeks
Daisy and Violet
Come looks 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
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!
