So Exciting! (The Pitch Song)

So you arrange this rendezvous in order to audition your new show for me

Hoping I would invest

Nailed it in one

So what’s the story of your show

Here is the story um yes

There’ll be

Lovers

And singers

And entrepreneurs

Depravity

Ecstasy

Love that indoors

Worthy of even the best raconteur

A tale in the shadows of dear sacre-coeur

We see along the seine

Upon its filthy shore

The bloated corpses of those killed the night before

But it’s a family show

With art both high and low

A tale of love

And death

And sex

And money

Dancing and the way we go to

Sweet Satine who plays our ingenue

A sparrow singing up and down each avenue

She wears a thin black dress

And tells her tale of woe

Of pain and loneliness

But that’s not all as these things go

She’s rather sick with some obscure malaise

No doubt a cruer trick from wilder desperate days

But one day singing through her pain

The sun kicks out the rain

And there he stands, a lover

Yes, one day everything changes

When she meets a man

A man, unlike any she has known

He’s a

Ventriloquist

No, he’s a matador striding across the sands of destiny

No, no, no! He’s a sailor

Yes, a sailor! That’s it

A man who has spent his life voyaging across turbulent seas

He’s been searching for a mate

And now it seems like fate

A gift from god above

A love divine forever more

Their bodies intertwine

But fate has many other things in store

There’s a man who already claims her

An evil gangster who runs this town

She’s unhappy and no one blames her

The most less lascivious racketeer around

He buys her love

He buys her clothes

He’s rough but this is all the poor girl knows

He buys her love

There’s no escape

But now a triangle has taken shape

And so the sailor driven mad

Determined to unseat this cad

Swears to risk his life for love

And there’s our show, all of the above

A spectacle of savagery

A testament to lunacy

Fun for the whole family

And all of it designed by me

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for fifty years

So exciting

Make them laugh and make them cry

So delighting

And in the end, should someone die

So exciting

Make our dreams reality

So delighting

Make it happen just for me

Make it happen just for me
